How much does the Enshu GEA480H cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Enshu. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Enshu GEA480H is a horizontal machining center with a 480 x 480 mm (18.9 x 18.9 in) pallet, 630 mm (24.8 in) of travel on both Y and Z, and a 15,000 RPM spindle with a 20,000 RPM option. These are the listed figures for the model. Check them against the build sheet of the actual machine before relying on them.
Y and Z are equal, and each is longer than the pallet is wide. A tombstone that fills the pallet can therefore be reached over its height, and the column has room left along Z to clear longer tools. No X travel appears among the listed figures. Ask for it first, because it decides how far a part may overhang the pallet edge and still be machined.
Table load capacity is 500 kg (1,102 lb), and that has to cover the fixture as well as the parts. The GE580H shows the other end of the range: 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs) on a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet with 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z, but 10,000 min-1 and 40 tools. The GEA480H gives up load and envelope in exchange for spindle speed and a 60-tool changer. The control is listed as Fanuc 31iB.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 15,000 RPM spindle in the listed figures, with 20,000 RPM available as an option
- 60-tool automatic tool changer, against 40 tools on the GE580H and 24 tools on the GE30H
- 630 mm (24.8 in) of travel on both Y and Z over a 480 x 480 mm (18.9 x 18.9 in) pallet
Limitations
- Table load capacity is 500 kg (1,102 lb) with the fixture included, where the GE580H carries 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs)
- The 20,000 RPM spindle is an option, so a given machine may have the 15,000 RPM one
- The listed figures give no X travel, spindle power, torque or taper, all of which need confirming

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The pallet is 480 x 480 mm (18.9 x 18.9 in), Y travel is 630 mm (24.8 in) and Z travel is 630 mm (24.8 in). Table load capacity is 500 kg (1,102 lb), which counts the tombstone or fixture and the clamps along with the parts. X travel is not among the listed figures, so confirm it before laying out a fixture.
02
The listed spindle speed is 15,000 RPM, with 20,000 RPM as an option. Find out which of the two a particular machine carries. Power, torque and taper are not listed, so a shop that roughs steel or iron at low speed should get those values for the specific spindle before deciding.
03
The GE580H is the larger machine: a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet, 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and Z travel and 800 kg (1,763.7 lbs) of table load, with 10,000 min-1 and 40 tools. The GEA480H has a 480 x 480 mm (18.9 x 18.9 in) pallet, 630 mm (24.8 in) of Y and Z, 500 kg (1,102 lb), 15,000 RPM and 60 tools.
