Our best estimate for the Chiron FZ 18W is $475,000 - $650,000. This is an estimate for a 5-axis machining centers in this class, not a quote from Chiron; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chiron-fz-18w#price; the request is passed to Chiron or an authorised dealer.
Chip to chip it takes 1.7 s with the basket tool changer. Together with 75 m/min rapids and 10 m/s² acceleration on all three linear axes, that keeps the time between cuts short on parts with many tool changes and short positioning moves.
12 or 20 tools. With all places filled a tool can be 65 mm in diameter; with the adjacent places empty, 180 mm. Length is about 220 mm and weight up to 5.0 kg, so large face mills and long boring bars need checking against those limits first.
730 mm in X, 565 mm in Y and 630 mm in Z. The sheet rows shown here do not include a table size, a table load or figures for rotary axes, so the largest part that can be clamped and its weight have to be confirmed with the supplier.
Not in the rows shown on these pages: travels, spindle range of 10,500 – 15,000 rpm and 140 – 290 Nm, tool changer and axis dynamics are listed identically for both. The distinction lies in equipment that these rows do not describe, so ask Chiron for the complete data of each variant.
A single spindle with SK40 or HSK-A63 taper. Maximum speed is listed as 10,500 – 15,000 rpm and torque as 140 – 290 Nm, which indicates more than one spindle version. No power rating appears in the rows, so ask for the curve of the version quoted.
