Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki SV1050 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
A metre-class table moving at 48 m/min is the proposition of the Akira Seiki SV1050. X travel is 1,050 mm (41.3 in), with 540 mm (21.3 in) of Y and 560 mm (22 in) of Z; the table is 1,200 x 480 mm (47.2 x 19 in).
The machine weighs 7,158 kg (15,781 lb). Its rapid feed, 48 / 48 / 36 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,417 ipm), matches the lighter SV815, which is notable because the bigger-saddle SV1150 drops to 36 / 36 / 30 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 1,181 ipm). Among the SV models with more than a metre of X, only this one and the SV1300 keep the fast axes.
The spindle is BT40, oil chilled, 15,000 rpm, 42 HP (31.3 kW) peak. Tooling comes from a 36T magazine in 1.9 s. With that combination a row of fixtures can be worked through quickly: the long X holds the parts, and the short non-cutting times keep the spindle in the cut.
Table capacity is 980 kg (2,160 lb) standard and 1,176 kg (2,592 lb) maximum. The footprint is 3,800 x 2,240 mm (150 x 88 in). A chain type chip conveyor and a 350 L (92.5 gal) coolant tank are listed, and the machine needs 35 kVA.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,050 mm (41.3 in) in X, 540 mm (21.3 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z. The table is 1,200 x 480 mm (47.2 x 19 in) and the spindle nose to table distance is 75~635 mm (3~25 in).
02
It depends on depth against speed. The SV1150 has 640 mm (25 in) of Y, 660 mm (26 in) of Z and a 1,300 x 600 mm (51.1 x 23.6 in) table, but its rapids are 36 / 36 / 30 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 1,181 ipm). The SV1050 is narrower and faster.
03
7,158 kg (15,781 lb). Dimensions are 3,800 x 2,240 mm (150 x 88 in). Table load is 980 kg (2,160 lb) standard and 1,176 kg (2,592 lb) maximum.
04
15 / 15 / 10 m/min (591 / 591 / 394 ipm) for X / Y / Z. Positioning accuracy is listed at 0.01 mm (0.00039 in) and repeatability at ±0.003 mm (±0.00012 in).
