Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki SV815 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 SV815 is the smallest machine in the SV series to carry the big spindle: 42 HP (31.3 kW) peak at 15,000 rpm on a BT40 taper, oil chilled. With it come a 36T magazine and a 35 kVA power requirement. The SV760 below it has 25 HP (18.6 kW), 28T and 20 kVA.
Travels are 815 mm (32 in) in X, 540 mm (21.3 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z, and the table is 950 x 480 mm (37.4 x 19 in). Akira Seiki builds three machines on this envelope. The SR32 XP has 18 HP (13.4 kW) at 11,000 rpm; the V3XP has up to 35 HP (26.1 kW) at 12,000 rpm; the SV815 tops both in power and speed.
Rapids are 48 / 48 / 36 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,417 ipm). Cutting feed is 15 / 15 / 10 m/min (591 / 591 / 394 ipm), lower than on the two small SV machines. A tool change takes 1.9 s.
High power at high speed is what aluminium structural parts and hard-milling of mould steel both ask for, in different ways. The table is rated 900 kg (1,984 lb) standard, 1,080 kg (2,380 lb) maximum. The machine weighs 6,180 kg (13,625 lb), measures 3,400 x 2,240 mm (134 x 88 in) and has a chain type chip conveyor.
