How much does the Akira Seiki HV10A cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki HV10A 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
At 19,314 kg (42,580 lb), the HV10A is the heaviest vertical machining center Akira Seiki lists. Travels are 2,600 mm (102.3 in) in X, 1,030 mm (40.6 in) in Y and 815 mm (32 in) in Z, and the 2,750 x 950 mm (108.2 x 37.4 in) table is rated for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) standard and 3,600 kg (7,936 lb) maximum.
This is the only HV model whose rapid traverse the maker's page prints cleanly: 30 / 30 / 25 m/min (1,181 / 1,181 / 984 ipm). Cutting feed is 8 / 8 / 8 m/min (315 / 315 / 315 ipm). On a machine that moves a three-tonne load, those rates are about positioning between long cuts, not about cycle-time racing.
The spindle is the HV-series BT50 / CAT50 unit, oil chilled, with 42 HP (31.3 kW) peak, 35 HP (26.1 kW) for 30 minutes and 8,000 rpm (6,000 rpm optional). It sits 1,050 mm (41.3 in) out from the column cover to reach across the wide table, so the seven-slot table and the long Y come with a long overhang.
Plan for 6,200 x 3,960 mm (244 x 156 in) of floor, 35 kVA and 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) of air. The coolant tank is 900 L (237.8 gal). Positioning is listed at 0.015 mm (0.00059 in), repeatability at ±0.005 mm (±0.00020 in).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
2,750 x 950 mm (108.2 x 37.4 in), with seven 18 mm T-slots at 125 mm pitch. Standard loading is 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) and maximum loading 3,600 kg (7,936 lb).
02
Rapid feed is 30 / 30 / 25 m/min (1,181 / 1,181 / 984 ipm) in X / Y / Z and cutting feed is 8 / 8 / 8 m/min (315 / 315 / 315 ipm). The tool change, tool to tool, takes 3.5 s.
03
Dimensions are 6,200 x 3,960 mm (244 x 156 in) and weight is 19,314 kg (42,580 lb). The power requirement is 35 kVA, the same figure the maker gives for every HV model, and air is 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi).
04
The HV8A is narrower and shorter: 2,060 mm (81.1 in) of X and 850 mm (33.5 in) of Y on a 2,150 x 800 mm (84.7 x 31.5 in) table, at 14,410 kg (31,769 lb). Z travel, spindle and magazine are the same on both.
