How much does the Chiron DZ 25S cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Chiron. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Chiron DZ 25S is a twin-spindle machining center with 800 mm of X travel, 1,100 mm of Y, 800 mm of Z and 800 mm between its two HSK-A63 spindles. It is sized for pairs of large parts, and its axis figures show how quickly a machine of this size is expected to move.
X is the fast axis. It rapids at 90 m/min, while Y and Z run at 75 m/min. Acceleration is 10 m/s² in X and Y and 15 m/s² in Z, so the vertical axis gains speed half as fast again as the other two. Short Z retracts between holes or pockets benefit most from that. Tool change works the other way: at 2.9 s chip to chip, a process with many brief operations per tool gains less than one with long cuts.
It helps to see where the model sits among its siblings. The DZ 18W lists 630 mm (24.8 in), 530 mm (20.9 in) and 450 mm (17.7 in) of travel at 12,000 / 15,000 rpm. The DZ 22W Five Axis has 620 mm, 980 mm and 600 mm with spindles up to 20,000 rpm and 75 m/min on every axis. The DZ 25S goes to 800 mm, 1,100 mm and 800 mm, with spindles of 12,500 or 17,500 rpm and 86 to 208 Nm.
The spindles draw from a chain magazine listed as 2 x 60. Tools can be 78 mm in diameter (160 mm beside empty pockets), 450 mm long and 10.0 kg. Chiron's table for this model stops there: it has no rows for rotary axes, table load, spindle power or machine weight, and those need to be requested.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 90 m/min rapid in X across 800 mm of travel
- Z acceleration of 15 m/s², against 10 m/s² in X and Y
- Largest envelope of its sibling group: 800 mm, 1,100 mm and 800 mm, where the DZ 22W Five Axis has 620 mm, 980 mm and 600 mm
- Spindles of 12,500 or 17,500 rpm with 86 to 208 Nm on HSK-A63
- Chain magazine with 2 x 60 tools up to 450 mm long
Limitations
- Y and Z rapid at 75 m/min, no faster than on the smaller DZ 22W Five Axis, over longer travels
- Tool change takes 2.9 s chip to chip
- Spindle speed ends at 17,500 rpm
- Rotary axes, table load, spindle power and machine weight are not in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Rapid traverse is 90 m/min in X and 75 m/min in both Y and Z. Chiron lists acceleration at 10 m/s² in X, 10 m/s² in Y and 15 m/s² in Z. Chip-to-chip tool change time is 2.9 s.
02
The DZ 22W Five Axis lists 620 mm of X, 980 mm of Y and 600 mm of Z. The DZ 25S has 800 mm, 1,100 mm and 800 mm, so the largest gains are in X and Z. Both use HSK-A63 and both list 86 to 208 Nm of torque.
03
The spindle distance. The two spindles are 800 mm apart and X travel is also 800 mm, so two parts cut together can each be close to 800 mm wide before they meet. The table gives no workpiece diameter or table load, so confirm those for the fixture you plan to use.
04
HSK-A63, with spindle speeds of 12,500 or 17,500 rpm and torque from 86 to 208 Nm. The chain magazine holds 2 x 60 tools up to 78 mm in diameter, 160 mm with adjacent pockets empty, 450 mm long and 10.0 kg.
