Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki RMV500APC 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 RMV500APC is a small production machining center from the maker's fast twin pallet group. Akira Seiki describes the RMV-APC series as being for light chips, non-ferrous metal and composite material, and the specification is consistent with that: a BT30 spindle, very fast axes and a servo tool changer.
Travels are 500 mm (19.69 in) in X, 300 mm (11.81 in) in Y and 280 mm (11.02 in) in Z, over a 500 x 300 mm (19.69 x 11.81 in) table that takes 100 kg (220.46 lb). Rapid feed is 60 / 60 / 72 m/min (2,362 / 2,362 / 2,834 ipm), with Z the fastest axis. In drilling and tapping cycles Z makes the most moves, so that is where speed pays.
The tool change is the other headline: T-T 0.7 s and C-C 1.9 s from a servo 24T+1 magazine. Tools are small, at most 50 mm (1.97 in) in diameter, 175 mm (6.89 in) long and 2.5 kg (5.51 lb).
Spindle power is printed as 6 HP (4.5 kW) with an acceleration figure of 20 HP (14.9 kW), and the only speed in the table is 24,000 rpm, marked as an option. The taper is BT30, with HSK40A optional, and cooling is by air. Ask the maker for the standard spindle speed. Weight is 4,200 kg (9259.41 lb); power requirement is 10 kVA.
