How much does the Akira Seiki V5XP cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki V5XP 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
For long work that is not deep, Akira Seiki lists the V5XP: 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X travel with 540 mm (21.3 in) of Y and 560 mm (22 in) of Z. The table is 1,450 x 480 mm (57 x 19 in), three times as long as it is deep.
Shaft-like parts, rails, extrusions and gang fixtures are the natural load. With 1,080 kg (2,381 lb) of standard table capacity and 1,296 kg (2,857 lb) maximum, the table will also take a rotary axis and tailstock at one end and a vise at the other.
The V5XP uses the larger V-series spindle. Akira Seiki's V column gives 30 HP (22.4 kW) peak at 10,000 rpm and the XP column 35 HP (26.1 kW) at 12,000 rpm; an 8,000 rpm unit is listed as an option. The taper is BT40 and the magazine holds 28T. In envelope the machine matches the SR52 XP, which carries an 18 HP (13.4 kW) spindle and 24T instead.
Coolant capacity rises to 400 L (105.7 gal) on this length. Power requirement is 30 kVA, air 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi). The maker's row for spindle-nose-to-table distance on this model has millimetre and inch values that disagree, so it is not shown here.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,450 x 480 mm (57 x 19 in), with five 18 mm T-slots at 80 mm pitch. X travel is 1,300 mm (51.2 in), Y 540 mm (21.3 in) and Z 560 mm (22 in).
02
30 HP (22.4 kW) peak in the V version and 35 HP (26.1 kW) peak in the XP version, at 10,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm. An 8,000 rpm spindle is listed as an option, and all three use BT40 holders.
03
Yes in travels and table: both list 1,300 mm (51.2 in), 540 mm (21.3 in) and 560 mm (22 in) on a 1,450 x 480 mm (57 x 19 in) table. The SR52 XP has an 18 HP (13.4 kW), 11,000 rpm spindle and 24T, so the V5XP is the stronger of the two.
04
When the parts are deep. The V5.5XP has 640 mm (25 in) of Y and 660 mm (26 in) of Z on a 1,500 x 600 mm (59 x 23.6 in) table rated to 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) maximum, with 1,350 mm (53 in) of X.
