How much does the Akira Seiki PC1350HSC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki PC1350HSC 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
Largest of the HSC line, the Akira Seiki PC1350HSC has a 1,500 x 600 mm (59.1 x 23.6 in) table and 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of X travel, with 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z. Machine weight is 7,500 kg (16,535 lb), and the table is rated for 1,100 kg (2,425 lb).
All of that sits under a BT30 spindle. It turns 15,000 rpm, is oil cooled, and is listed at 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) / 10 HP (7.5 kW). The pairing looks odd until the work is considered: structural die castings and large plates in light alloy carry hundreds of small holes and pockets, and a small-taper spindle with a short tool change gets through them faster than a heavy one.
Tool-to-tool time is given as 1.2 s, with 1.5 s in brackets, which the table does not explain; it may refer to the optional 26T magazine. The standard magazine is 21T. Tools are limited to 80 mm (3.1 in) in diameter, 200 mm (7.9 in) in length and 3 kg (7 lb).
Coolant capacity is 550 L (145.3 gal), the power requirement 25 kVA and the air requirement 5 kgf/cm². Positioning accuracy is listed at 0.01 mm and repeatability at ±0.003 mm. As on the PC1000HSC page, the maker prints rapid traverse, acceleration and floor space under the wrong units, so those rows are not shown.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,350 mm (53.1 in) in X, 600 mm (23.6 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z. Spindle nose to table distance is 125 - 625 mm (4.9 - 24.6 in), and the table is 1,500 x 600 mm (59.1 x 23.6 in).
02
The HSC models are built for die-casting materials and similar light work, where a small taper gives fast tool changes. The spindle is rated 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) / 10 HP (7.5 kW) at up to 15,000 rpm, enough for small cutters but not for heavy face milling.
03
7,500 kg (16,535 lb). The table load capacity is 1,100 kg (2,425 lb), the coolant tank holds 550 L (145.3 gal) and the power requirement is 25 kVA.
04
21T as standard and 26T as an option. The listed tool-to-tool time is T-T: 1.2 s (1.5 s); the table does not say what the bracketed figure refers to.
