How much does the Enshu WE30Ve cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Enshu. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Enshu WE30Ve is a compact vertical machining center on a MAS BT30 tool shank, with 500 mm (19.7 in) of X travel, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z over a 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in) table. The standard spindle runs to 12,000 min-1 and the standard magazine holds 21 tools. Enshu lists a longer X stroke, a slower spindle and a smaller magazine as options, so the exact configuration has to be pinned down before two machines are compared.
Y travel and table depth are the same figure, 400 mm (15.7 in), so the spindle covers the full depth of whatever is clamped down. X is different. The standard 500 mm (19.7 in) stroke is shorter than the 650 mm (25.6 in) table, which leaves the table ends for clamps and fixture overhang instead of cutting. The optional 700 mm (27.5 in) stroke is longer than the table itself and suits a long part or a row of vises that fills the table length. Z is 300 mm (11.8 in), and that has to be shared between fixture height, part height and the tool sticking out of the holder. Tall workholding or long drills use it up quickly.
A BT30 shank goes with small cutters, drills and taps, and 12,000 min-1 fits that kind of tooling. The 8,000 min-1 spindle is the option here, not the upgrade in speed. The table gives no power or torque figure for either spindle, so ask Enshu what the slower one offers in return. The magazine works the same way: 21 tools as standard, 17 tools as the option.
Rapid traverse is 50,000 mm/min (1968.5 in/min) against a cutting feedrate of 10,000 mm/min, so positioning moves run at five times the fastest programmed cut. On parts with many holes spread across the table, that does more for cycle time than spindle speed. The table carries 350 kg (771 lb).
In Enshu's range the GE30V has the same 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in) table but 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Z and a 500 kg (1,102.3 lbs) table load. The EV360Te shares the 300 mm (11.8 in) Z stroke with a narrower 650 mm x 350 mm (25.6 in x 13.8 in) table and a 250 kg (551.2 lbs) limit.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Rapid traverse of 50,000 mm/min (1968.5 in/min), five times the 10,000 mm/min cutting feedrate, keeps non-cutting time short on parts with many features
- Y travel of 400 mm (15.7 in) equals the depth of the 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in) table, so the whole table depth is within reach of the spindle
- X travel can be ordered as 700 mm (27.5 in) in place of the standard 500 mm (19.7 in) for longer parts
- Standard spindle reaches 12,000 min-1 and the standard magazine holds 21 tools, both on a MAS BT30 shank
- Table load of 350 kg (771 lb), above the 250 kg (551.2 lbs) of the EV360Te, whose table is the same 650 mm long
Limitations
- Z travel is 300 mm (11.8 in), shared between fixture, part and tool length; the GE30V has 400 mm (15.7 in)
- The 700 mm (27.5 in) X travel is an option. The standard stroke is 500 mm (19.7 in), less than the 650 mm (25.6 in) table length
- MAS BT30 is the only tool shank listed, whereas the GE30V lists a BT40 option, so larger tooling is not available on this model
- The optional magazine is the smaller one, 17 tools against 21 tools as standard, and no larger magazine is listed
- Enshu's table for this model gives no spindle power, torque or machine weight, so cutting capacity and installation have to be confirmed directly

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel is 500 mm (19.7 in) as standard, with 700 mm (27.5 in) listed as an option. Y travel is 400 mm (15.7 in) and Z travel is 300 mm (11.8 in). The table measures 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in), so the standard X stroke is shorter than the table and the optional one is longer.
02
The tool shank is MAS BT30. The standard spindle runs to 12,000 min-1, and Enshu lists an 8,000 min-1 spindle as an option. No power or torque figure is given for either, so ask for the spindle output data of the version you are being quoted.
03
21 tools as standard. A 17-tool magazine is listed as an option, which is the smaller of the two, so check which one a given machine has if you are counting on all 21 tools for a job.
04
The maximum loading weight is 350 kg (771 lb). That figure covers the workpiece together with vises, fixture plates and any rotary unit mounted on the 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in) table, so add them up before committing a heavy setup.
05
Both have a 650 mm x 400 mm (25.6 in x 15.7 in) table and a 50,000 mm/min rapid traverse. The GE30V has more travel, 600 mm (23.6 in) in X and Y and 400 mm (15.7 in) in Z, a 500 kg (1,102.3 lbs) table load, and 24 tools at 13,000 min-1 in its BT30 standard form. The WE30Ve has 500 mm (19.7 in) of standard X, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y, 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z, 350 kg (771 lb) and 21 tools at 12,000 min-1.
