How much does the Chiron MILL 800 Five Axis Baseline 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 MILL 800 Five Axis Baseline is listed as a vertical moving-column five-axis machining center for workpieces up to approximately 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter and approximately 600 kg (1,323 lb). Travels are 800 mm (31.5 in) in X, 630 mm (24.8 in) in Y and 550 mm (21.7 in) in Z.
In a moving-column design the linear axes carry the spindle, and the workpiece only swivels and rotates. That is what lets a machine of this travel take a 600 kg (1,323 lb) part: the heavy mass is not shuttled back and forth in X and Y. The listed workpiece diameter is larger than either the X or the Y travel, so the outer areas of a full-size part are reached by turning it on the C axis, listed as 360° continuous.
The spindle is listed at 20,000 RPM with an HSK-A63 taper, and the magazine at up to 60 tools. A speed that high on HSK-A63 suggests aluminium and finishing work more than heavy roughing, though the listed figures include no power or torque to settle the point. The A axis appears only as a swivel axis, without a range.
The configuration is described as a standardized Baseline package with the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control. The listed figures do not spell out what the package fixes and what it leaves open.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpieces up to approximately 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter and approximately 600 kg (1,323 lb)
- Vertical moving-column design, so the linear axes do not have to move the workpiece
- 20,000 RPM spindle with HSK-A63 taper
- C axis listed as 360° continuous, with a magazine of up to 60 tools
Limitations
- The A axis is listed only as a swivel axis, with no tilt range
- No spindle power, torque, rapid traverse or tool size limits are listed
- 550 mm (21.7 in) of Z has to cover part height, fixture and tool length

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed limits are approximately 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter and approximately 600 kg (1,323 lb). Linear travels are 800 mm (31.5 in), 630 mm (24.8 in) and 550 mm (21.7 in) in X, Y and Z, so a part at the diameter limit is machined by rotating it on the 360° continuous C axis.
02
A 20,000 RPM spindle with an HSK-A63 taper. No power or torque rating is among the listed figures, so its suitability for steel or titanium roughing cannot be judged from the table. Ask for the spindle curve of the machine in question.
03
The listed figures call it a standardized Baseline package and name the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control, a 20,000 RPM HSK-A63 spindle and a magazine of up to 60 tools. They do not say which items are fixed and which can be changed, so get the scope of the machine in writing.
04
It is not stated. The A axis is listed as a swivel axis without an angle, and the C axis as 360° continuous. Because the tilt range decides whether undercut faces can be reached in one clamping, confirm it from the machine's documentation before quoting such parts.
