How much does the Akira Seiki V8XP cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Akira Seiki V8XP 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
Two metres of X is the defining figure of the Akira Seiki V8XP: 2,060 mm (81.1 in), with 850 mm (33.5 in) of Y and 815 mm (32 in) of Z. The table measures 2,150 x 800 mm (84.7 x 31.5 in).
It is the V6XP with a longer bed. Y, Z, the spindle-centre-to-column distance of 865 mm (34 in) and the six 18 mm T-slots are common to both; the V8XP lengthens X and raises the table rating to 2,700 kg (5,952 lb) standard and 3,240 kg (7,142 lb) maximum. Coolant capacity goes up to 700 L (185 gal).
What kind of work fills a table like this? Aircraft-style aluminium plates, long machine bases, bolster plates, or several mid-size jobs fixtured at once so the machine runs unattended for longer. The spindle is suited to that: BT40, 30 HP (22.4 kW) peak at 10,000 rpm as the V or 35 HP (26.1 kW) at 12,000 rpm as the XP, with an 8,000 rpm option.
Accuracy is listed as 0.015 mm (0.00059 in) positioning and ±0.005 mm (±0.00020 in) repeatability. The magazine holds 28T with a 2.2 s tool change, and the machine needs 30 kVA and 0.5 MPa (72.5 psi) of air.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,060 mm (81.1 in) of X travel with 850 mm (33.5 in) of Y
- Table rated to 3,240 kg (7,142 lb) maximum
- 700 L (185 gal) coolant tank
- 12,000 rpm XP spindle for finishing large surfaces
Limitations
- Only a BT40 spindle; the HV8A on the same travels has BT50 / CAT50
- 130 mm (5.1 in) is the largest tool diameter, and only with empty neighbouring pockets
- Repeatability of ±0.005 mm (±0.00020 in), looser than the smaller V machines
- 28T may be tight when several jobs share the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
2,060 mm (81.1 in) in X, 850 mm (33.5 in) in Y and 815 mm (32 in) in Z. The table is 2,150 x 800 mm (84.7 x 31.5 in) and there is 100~915 mm (4~36 in) from spindle nose to table.
02
Travels and table are the same. The HV8A has a BT50 / CAT50 spindle with 42 HP (31.3 kW) peak at 8,000 rpm, so it is the heavy-cutting version. The V8XP uses a BT40 spindle at up to 12,000 rpm and suits lighter, faster work.
03
2,700 kg (5,952 lb) as the standard loading and 3,240 kg (7,142 lb) as the maximum, on a table with six 18 mm T-slots at 125 mm pitch.
04
The V10XP, with 2,600 mm (102.3 in) of X and 1,030 mm (40.6 in) of Y on a 2,750 x 950 mm (108.2 x 37.4 in) table. Z travel stays at 815 mm (32 in) and the spindle options are unchanged.
