How much does the Chiron FZ 19S Five Axis 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 FZ 19S Five Axis is a large single-spindle five-axis machining center: 850 mm of X travel, 980 mm of Y and 700 mm of Z, with an HSK-A63 spindle and a chain magazine that goes up to 196 tools. Y is the longest axis, so the working area runs deeper than it is wide, which suits large round or square workpieces more than long narrow ones.
Next to the FZ 18 S Five Axis the envelope is larger in every direction: that machine has 730 mm of X, 565 mm of Y and 630 mm of Z, and here Y alone is 980 mm. The sheet rows shown on this page do not state the swivel range, table diameter or table load, so those need confirming before a part is matched to the envelope.
Z is the lively axis. Acceleration is 11 m/s² in X and Y and 18 m/s² in Z, with 75 m/min rapids on all three. Fast Z reversal shortens the retract and plunge moves of drilling cycles and helps the tool tip follow a surface when the tool angle changes during five-axis contouring.
The spindle is listed at 12,500 – 20,000 rpm with 86 – 208 Nm. Both rows are ranges, so more than one spindle version is covered, and the top torque of 208 Nm is modest for an envelope this size: the FZ 18 S Five Axis reaches 290 Nm in a smaller machine. Large parts in tough materials will be worked with smaller cutters and more passes, not with heavy single cuts.
Tooling capacity fits long unattended runs. The chain magazine is listed at 42 – 196 tools, each up to 78 mm in diameter (160 mm with adjacent pockets empty), 450 mm long and 10.0 kg, changed in 2.4 s chip to chip.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 980 mm of Y travel with 850 mm of X and 700 mm of Z in a single-spindle five-axis machine
- Chain magazine listed up to 196 tools, starting from 42
- Z-axis acceleration of 18 m/s², against 11 m/s² in X and Y
- Tools up to 450 mm long and 10.0 kg, or 160 mm in diameter with adjacent pockets empty
- HSK-A63 spindle range reaching 20,000 rpm
Limitations
- Maximum listed torque is 208 Nm; the smaller FZ 18 S Five Axis is listed up to 290 Nm
- 2.4 s chip to chip, slower than the 1.7 s basket changer of the FZ 18 S Five Axis
- HSK-A63 is the only taper in the sheet rows, with no larger interface listed for heavy cutters
- Swivel range, table size and table load are not given in the sheet rows

Frequently Asked Questions
01
850 mm in X, 980 mm in Y and 700 mm in Z. Rapid traverse is 75 m/min on each axis, and acceleration is 11 m/s² in X, 11 m/s² in Y and 18 m/s² in Z. The rows shown here contain no figures for the rotary axes.
02
Both share the same linear travels of 850 × 980 × 700 mm, the 12,500 – 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle range with 86 – 208 Nm, and the 42 – 196 tool chain magazine. The Mill-Turn name indicates added turning capability, which these rows do not quantify; ask Chiron for the turning data if turned features are part of the job.
03
The chain magazine is listed with 42 – 196 tools depending on the size chosen. Tools can be 78 mm in diameter, or 160 mm when the pockets on both sides are empty, 450 mm long and 10.0 kg. Chip-to-chip time is 2.4 s.
04
The listed torque range is 86 – 208 Nm with maximum speeds of 12,500 – 20,000 rpm on HSK-A63. That supports milling in those materials with moderate cutter diameters, but the rows give no power rating and do not tie a torque to a speed. Get the curve for the specific spindle and check it against the planned cutters.
