How much does the Alzmetall GS 1400/5-FDT cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Alzmetall GS 1400/5-FDT 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 Alzmetall GS 1400/5-FDT is a 5-axis machining center with an HSK-T100 spindle, a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table load including the clamping set-up and travels of 1,200 × 1,300 × 800 mm (47.2 × 51.2 × 31.5 in).
There is a smaller FDT model, the GS 1000/5-FDT, with HSK-T63 and a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) table. The GS 1400/5-FDT triples that load rating and moves the interface up to size 100, so it is the one for large, heavy parts and for tools with big shanks.
Set beside the GS 1400/5-T, the headline rows match except the taper: HSK-A100 on the GS 1400/5-T, HSK-T100 on this machine. The T form holds the drive key to a closer fit than the A form so that a non-rotating tool is located precisely. What the spec table does not show is anything about turning itself. There is no table speed, no maximum turning diameter and no statement of the load allowed while the table spins. With up to 3,000 kg on the table, that last point is the one to settle with Alzmetall first.
Spindle distance is listed as up to 988 mm (38.9 in), more than the 800 mm Z stroke, with no reference surfaces given. The standard chain magazine has 33 places, and tools of this shank size are bulky, so the twin chain magazine with up to 150 positions and the rack-type magazine designed for 250 positions deserve a look.
Alzmetall lists 3-fold torque drives on the swivel axis (A) and rotary axis (C) and 4-fold linear guidance for the travel-system carriage and Z axis. Heidenhain TNC 7 is standard, Siemens SINUMERIK ONE optional.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- HSK-T100 spindle interface on a machine with 1,200 × 1,300 × 800 mm (47.2 × 51.2 × 31.5 in) of travel
- Table load of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) including the clamping set-up, three times the 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) of the GS 1000/5-FDT
- Rotary axis (C) and swivel axis (A) are driven by 3-fold torque drives
- Spindle distance of up to 988 mm (38.9 in) for tall set-ups
- Frame of grey cast iron and spheroidal graphite cast iron with 4-fold linear guidance for the travel-system carriage and Z axis
Limitations
- No table speed, turning diameter or rotating-load figure is listed, so turning capability must be confirmed separately
- 33 tools in the standard chain magazine; the 150-position and 250-position magazines are options
- HSK-T100 tooling is not shared with the HSK-T63 of the GS 1000/5-FDT or the HSK-A63 of the GS 1200/5-T
- High-pressure coolant up to 80 bar, kinematics gauging, the 3D touch probe and the tool setting system are options

Frequently Asked Questions
01
By the taper in the listed headline figures. The GS 1400/5-FDT has HSK-T100; the GS 1400/5-T has HSK-A100. Both are rated for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) on the table including the clamping set-up, and both have a chain magazine with 33 tools and Heidenhain TNC 7 as the standard control.
02
The HSK-T100 interface is the form made to locate stationary tools such as turning tools, which is the only indication in the listed figures. Alzmetall's spec table for this model gives no table speed, turning diameter or load limit under rotation. Get those three values confirmed before building a process around turning on this machine.
03
3,000 kg (6,614 lb), and the figure includes the clamping set-up, so a chuck, fixture or pallet counts toward it. The smaller GS 1000/5-FDT is rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). No higher-load option is listed for the GS 1400/5-FDT.
04
Z travel is 800 mm (31.5 in) and the spindle distance is listed as up to 988 mm (38.9 in). The spec table does not say where the spindle distance is measured from. Add up fixture height, part height and the gauge length of your longest HSK-T100 tool and compare the total with both figures.
05
The standard magazine is a chain with 33 tools. A twin chain magazine with up to 150 positions and a rack-type magazine designed for 250 positions are listed as options. For the control, Heidenhain TNC 7 is standard and Siemens SINUMERIK ONE is the option.
