How much does the Amada MEISTER 52UP cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from Amada. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Amada MEISTER 52UP is the MEISTER grinder with stockers for both workpieces and wheels, and its table is almost entirely about what the machine can load unattended. One stocker holds up to 15 workpieces, each at most 100 x 100 x 70 mm (3.9 x 3.9 x 2.8 in) and 3 kg (6.6 lb), a mass Amada states without the palette. A second stocker has 7 positions shared between grinding wheels and coolant nozzles.
That sharing matters when planning a job. Every nozzle stored takes a position a wheel could have used, so the number of different wheels available in one unattended run is whatever is left of the 7 after the nozzles are counted. Each tool can weigh up to 4 kg (8.8 lb) and mounts through an HSK-E32 interface on a spindle with a 50 mm bearing diameter.
Two wheel sizes are listed. The large wheel is 205 x 6.4-15 x 31.75 mm and the medium wheel 100 x 3-10 x 22.23 mm, so widths run from 3 mm on the small diameter to 15 mm on the large one. The spindle speed row reads 500-10000 with no unit printed, a wide range that fits a spindle expected to run both a 205 mm and a 100 mm wheel. After a change the wheel is found by an air microsensor, the method the table lists for wheel detection.
What the table leaves out is the grinding envelope. It has no chuck, travel or table reciprocation rows. The MEISTER 52, whose table lists no stockers, shows a 400 x 200 x 100 mm (15.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) chuck and wheels up to 25 mm wide; whether the 52UP shares that envelope is a question for Amada, and in automatic running the 100 x 100 x 70 mm workpiece limit governs either way.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpiece stocker for up to 15 parts of 100 x 100 x 70 mm (3.9 x 3.9 x 2.8 in) and 3 kg (6.6 lb) each
- Tool stocker with 7 positions that holds coolant nozzles as well as grinding wheels
- HSK-E32 spindle interface with a tool mass limit of 4 kg (8.8 lb)
- Two wheel classes: large 205 x 6.4-15 x 31.75 mm and medium 100 x 3-10 x 22.23 mm
- Wheel detection by air microsensor after a change
Limitations
- Automatic loading is limited to workpieces of 100 x 100 x 70 mm (3.9 x 3.9 x 2.8 in) and 3 kg (6.6 lb) without the palette
- The 7 stocker positions are shared between wheels and coolant nozzles, which reduces the number of wheels on hand
- Large wheels are limited to 15 mm in width here, against 25 mm in the MEISTER 52 table
- The table lists no chuck size, travels or motor power, and the 500-10000 spindle speed row has no unit

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The stocker takes a maximum of 15 workpieces. Each can measure up to 100 x 100 x 70 mm (3.9 x 3.9 x 2.8 in) and weigh up to 3 kg (6.6 lb). Amada gives that mass limit without the palette, which means the palette is not counted in the figure.
02
The tool stocker has 7 positions, and they are shared between grinding wheels and coolant nozzles. The number of wheels available therefore depends on how many nozzles are stored. Each tool can weigh up to 4 kg (8.8 lb) and uses the HSK-E32 interface.
03
Two sizes are listed. The large-diameter wheel is 205 x 6.4-15 x 31.75 mm and the medium-diameter wheel is 100 x 3-10 x 22.23 mm. The spindle speed row reads 500-10000, printed without a unit, and wheel detection is by an air microsensor.
04
The MEISTER 52UP table is about automation: a 15-workpiece stocker, 7 tool stocker positions and an HSK-E32 interface. The MEISTER 52 table gives the grinding envelope instead, a 400 x 200 x 100 mm (15.7 x 7.9 x 3.9 in) chuck, 600 mm (23.6 in) of traverse and wheels of 205 x 6.4-25 x 31.75 mm. The 52UP table has no chuck or travel rows, so confirm those with Amada.
