Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki PC1000HSC 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 PC1000HSC takes the HSC spindle onto a machining-center sized frame. X travel is 1,020 mm (40.2 in), Y is 520 mm (20.5 in) and Z is 550 mm (21.7 in). The table is 1,170 x 460 mm (46.1 x 18.1 in), rated for 800 kg (1,764 lb), and the machine weighs 5,500 kg (12,125 lb).
Those are not tapping-center numbers. A 30-taper spindle on a one-metre machine is a specific tool for a specific job: large, light parts with many small features, such as die-cast covers, battery trays and sheet-like aluminium housings, where a larger taper would only slow the tool change.
The spindle is BT30, 15,000 rpm, oil cooled, and the table gives torque and power together as 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) / 10 HP (7.5 kW). Z travel of 550 mm (21.7 in) and a spindle nose height of 125 - 675 mm (4.9 - 26.6 in) leave room for tall fixtures.
The magazine holds 21T as standard and 26T as an option. Tools can be 80 mm (3.1 in) in diameter, 200 mm (7.9 in) long and 3 kg (7 lb). Coolant capacity is 450 L (118.9 gal) and the power requirement 25 kVA. The maker's rapid traverse, acceleration and floor space rows for this model carry the wrong unit and are left out here.
