Q: How much does the Chevalier UNi5X-800 cost?

The price estimate for the Chevalier UNi5X-800 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chevalier-uni5x-800#price; the request is passed to Chevalier Machinery or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The Chevalier UNi5X-800 is a large five-axis machining center with a Ø31.5 in (Ø800 mm) rotary table that carries 2,866 lb (1,300 kg). It is a different class of machine from the UNi5X-400, which shares the name: that model's table takes 220 lb (100 kg), and this one weighs 44,092 lb (20,000 kg) against 15,510 lb (7,050 kg).

The spindle is a built-in motor spindle with an HSK-A63 taper, running to 18,000 rpm. Power is listed as 34 hp / 47 hp (25 / 35 kW) and torque as 86 / 130 Nm, which the maker gives as S1 and S6 ratings. High speed with moderate torque points at mould, die and aluminium structural work, where long finishing passes at high feed matter more than heavy roughing in steel.

The rotary axes are fast. The A axis is listed with a rotation of ± 120 at 80 rpm and the C axis with 360° at 100 rpm. Rapid traverse on the linear axes is 1,889 ipm (48 m/min). The travel row reads 31.5 in / 35.4 in +5.9 in / 25.6 in for X, Y and Z, where the extra 5.9 in (150 mm) on Y is travel for the tool change: the magazine is a pick-up type holding 32 tools, and the spindle goes to it.

The control is a Heidenhain TNC640 with a 19 in screen. Maximum workpiece dimensions are Ø31.5 in x H 23.6 in. Floor space is 220 in x 102 in x 141 in. The maker's page has no feature list for this model and its cutting feed row is not consistent between units, so that figure is not repeated here.
