Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki SV1150 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 SV1150 brings the SV spindle to the wide-saddle frame. Y travel is 640 mm (25 in) and Z is 660 mm (26 in), with 1,150 mm (45.3 in) of X and a 1,300 x 600 mm (51.1 x 23.6 in) table. At 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) it is a solid machine for its travels.
Mould and die shops are the obvious users. A 600 mm deep table takes a mould base square to the axes, the spindle nose clears the table by 100~760 mm (4~30 in), and the 15,000 rpm, 42 HP (31.3 kW) peak spindle can rough and then finish in one setup. The taper is listed as BT40 / CAT40 on this model.
The heavier saddle shows in the rapid feed. It is 36 / 36 / 30 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 1,181 ipm) here, where the SV1050 reaches 48 / 48 / 36 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,417 ipm). Cutting feed, 15 / 15 / 10 m/min (591 / 591 / 394 ipm), is unchanged.
The magazine holds 36T and changes in 1.9 s. Standard table loading is 1,300 kg (2,866 lb), maximum 1,560 kg (3,439 lb). Installation needs 3,900 x 2,495 mm (154 x 98 in), 35 kVA and 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) air. A chain type chip conveyor is listed.
