How much does the Blohm MC5 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Blohm MC5 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 Blohm MC5 is a CNC grinding machine with 700 mm (27.6 in) of X travel, 550 mm (21.7 in) of Y and 560 mm (22.0 in) of Z over a 700 x 600 mm (27.6 x 23.6 in) table. Its grinding wheel drive is rated 27.5 kW (36.9 hp) continuous and takes wheels up to 400 x 150 mm (15.7 x 5.9 in), diameter by width.
Two things stand out in those figures. X travel equals the table length, and the other two axes are nearly as long, so the working volume is closer to a cube than to the long, shallow envelope of a reciprocating table grinder; the Profimat 408, for comparison, is listed with a 400 x 800 mm (15.7 x 31.5 in) table. The second is wheel width. At up to 150 mm (5.9 in), a wide profiled wheel can cover a broad form in a single pass, and the continuous 27.5 kW (36.9 hp) is there to drive it.
Wheels mount on HSK-A80 quick-clamping spindles, which points to short wheel changeovers. The control is a SIEMENS SINUMERIK ONE operated through a C.O.R.E. panel with a 24 in multi-touch screen. Blohm's table for this model gives no table load, wheel speed or machine weight, so those need to come from a quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 27.5 kW (36.9 hp) continuous grinding wheel drive
- Takes wheels up to 400 x 150 mm (15.7 x 5.9 in), diameter by width, for wide profile forms
- HSK-A80 quick-clamping spindles for the grinding wheel
- SIEMENS SINUMERIK ONE control with a 24 in multi-touch C.O.R.E. panel
Limitations
- The table is 700 x 600 mm (27.6 x 23.6 in) with 700 mm (27.6 in) of X travel, so long workpieces do not fit
- No table load, wheel speed or machine weight is listed for this model
