Our best estimate for the Chiron MILL 800 is $300,000 - $425,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) 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-mill-800#price; the request is passed to Chiron or an authorised dealer.
The listed travels are 800 mm (31.5 in) in X, 630 mm (24.8 in) in Y and 550 mm (21.7 in) in Z. The machine design is given as a vertical moving column, which means the travel belongs to the column and spindle and the part does not move.
Approx. 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter and approx. 600 kg (1,323 lb). Both values are approximate. The diameter is greater than the X and Y travels, so read it as the largest part that can be set up, not the largest area the spindle can cover.
HSK-A63, with HSK-A100 as an option. Spindle speed is given as up to 20,000 rpm without saying which interface that applies to. Power and torque are not listed, so ask for both for each interface before deciding.
The listed capacity is up to 60 tools. That is an upper limit, and a particular machine may have a smaller magazine. Limits on tool diameter, length and weight are not listed and are likely to differ between HSK-A63 and the optional HSK-A100.
