How much does the Ganesh GEN MILL 5X-24 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Ganesh GEN MILL 5X-24 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The GEN MILL 5X-24 is the largest 5-axis machine in the line, built around a 25.6 in diameter tilting rotary table driven by worm gears. It accepts workpieces up to 20.47 in in diameter and 13 in tall (520 x 330 mm), and its linear travels are 24.41 in (620 mm) in X, 20.47 in (520 mm) in Y and 18.11 in (460 mm) in Z. Expand Machinery labels the rotary axes B and C.
Feedback is by precision glass scales on X, Y and Z and on both rotary axes, so position is measured at the slide and at the table instead of at the motor. All linear axes use roller-bearing ways. Rapids are 1,417 ipm (36 m/min) in X, Y and Z.
The spindle runs at 15,000 rpm with direct drive, and 20,000 rpm is optional. A dual-winding motor gives 70 ft-lb (95.5 Nm) from 0 to 1,500 rpm, with 25 HP peak and 20 HP on the 30 min rating. Compared with the GEN MILL 5X-16, which has the same torque, peak power is 25 HP instead of 20 HP. The taper is CAT 40, with BT 40 or HSK-63 optional.
For long unattended cycles there is a 60-tool twin-arm changer, a 106 gallon (400 liter) coolant tank and 300 psi (20 bar) coolant pressure. Tools can be 5 in (127 mm) in diameter, 3 in (76 mm) with adjacent tools, 10 in (250 mm) long and 15 lb (7 kg). The machine weighs 21,384 lb (9,700 kg), needs 55 kVA and occupies 160 x 130 x 119 in (405 x 328 x 301 cm). The specification table gives no table load, a figure to request for any heavy fixture.
