How much does the Breton Hawx E2 K58 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Breton Hawx E2 K58 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 Breton Hawx E2 K58 is a 5-axis gantry machining centre with 5,800 mm (228.3 in) of X, 2,700 mm (106.3 in) of Y and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Z. Read its spindle rows first, because they say more about the intended work than the travels do.
18 kW (24.1 hp) in S6. 15 kW (20.1 hp) in S1. Torque of 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) in S6 and 12 Nm (8.9 lb-ft) in S1, and a top speed of 24,000 rpm. The gap between the S6 and S1 ratings is the gap between intermittent and continuous duty: a long finishing pass over a mould surface runs for hours, so the S1 figures are the ones to plan with. With torque this low the spindle earns its keep at high speed with small-diameter tools. Breton names light alloys, polymers, resins and composite materials as the materials, and the figures agree.
The tool interface is listed as HSK-A63 / HSK-F63. The F form is common on routing spindles and the A form on metal-cutting ones, so settle which is fitted before buying holders.
For a part this long, rapids of 70 m/min (2,756 ipm) in X and Y keep air moves short. The head covers -135° to 105° in A and -270° to 270° in C.
In the E2 line-up this is the second-longest model. The Breton Hawx E2 K78 adds two metres, to 7,800 mm (307.1 in), on the same Y and Z.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,800 mm (228.3 in) of X with a 2,700 mm (106.3 in) bridge travel
- 24,000 rpm spindle suited to small tools in light alloys, resins and composites
- S1 and S6 ratings are both published, so continuous-duty planning is possible
- Rapids of 70 m/min (2,756 ipm) in X and Y and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) in Z
- External automatic tool store, 8 cells as standard and extendable to a maximum of 64 cells
Limitations
- Continuous spindle power is 15 kW (20.1 hp) with 12 Nm (8.9 lb-ft) of S1 torque
- The taper row gives HSK-A63 / HSK-F63 without saying which is standard
- Z is 1,300 mm (51.2 in) on every Hawx; deeper parts need a different machine
- No table load, accuracy or weight is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
S1 is continuous duty and S6 is intermittent duty. The table lists 15 kW (20.1 hp) and 12 Nm (8.9 lb-ft) in S1, and 18 kW (24.1 hp) and 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) in S6. For long uninterrupted cuts, plan with the S1 values.
02
X is 5,800 mm (228.3 in), Y is 2,700 mm (106.3 in) and Z is 1,300 mm (51.2 in). The A axis covers -135° to 105° and the C axis -270° to 270°.
03
Breton presents the Hawx for light alloys, polymers, resins and composite materials, and steel is not in that list. The spindle rows point the same way: 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) of S6 torque at up to 24,000 rpm is a small-tool, high-speed rating.
04
Breton describes an automatic 8-cell tool store placed outside the work area, and says its capacity can be increased up to a maximum of 64 cells. Loading and unloading tools does not require suspending the work cycle.
