How much does the Akira Seiki H3XP cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki H3XP that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Akira Seiki H3XP is a compact horizontal machining center with a twin pallet changer. Pallets are 320 x 320 mm (12.6 x 12.6 in), each rated for 300 kg (661 lb), and the change takes 8 s. Two pallets are standard and a six-pallet arrangement is listed as an option.
Travels are 350 mm (13.8 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z. The B axis indexes in 0.001° steps, so the table is a full fourth axis and not a one-degree indexer. That matters on a horizontal: angled features and helical work can be cut without special fixtures.
The machine is built for short cycles. Rapid feed is 48 / 48 / 48 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,890 ipm), the tool change is 1.6 s, and the belt-type BT40 spindle reaches 12,000 rpm with 17.7 HP (13.2 kW) peak. Coolant through the spindle is listed as standard. The magazine is 36T, or 60T as an option.
Chips fall away from the work and are removed by a chain type conveyor with dual spiral screws along X. Weight is 5,623 kg (12,397 lb). The stated dimensions, 2,700 x 5,075 mm (106 x 199 in), show a machine that is narrow but long, so check the depth of the bay. Supply is 35 kVA.
