Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Ibarmia ZMS5_30.08 Extreme Star Edition 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 Ibarmia ZMS5_30.08 Extreme Star Edition pairs a long work envelope with a big-taper spindle: SK-50 or HSK A-100, 43 kW (57.7 hp) and 8,000 rpm. Travels are 3,000 mm (118.1 in) in X and 800 mm (31.5 in) in both Y and Z, on a moving-column structure.
Its closest relative is the ZMS4_30.08, which shares the travels, the head and the structure but carries an SK-40 or HSK A-63 spindle rated up to 46 kW (61.7 hp). Choosing between them is therefore a tooling-interface decision more than a power one. The larger taper is the reason to pick this model: long-reach tools, large face mills and boring bars all benefit from the stiffer connection.
A top speed of 8,000 rpm fits that role. It is comfortable for steel and cast iron with mid-size and large cutters. For small-diameter tools in aluminium it is a ceiling, since the cutting speed those tools want calls for more revolutions than the spindle has.
The ZS head is listed as a continuous tilting head with a torque motor, giving 4-axis movement over a B-axis range of +/- 120º. Maximum swing diameter is 1,100 mm (43.3 in). The magazine carries 50 tools, or 100 tools as an option, and the control row offers two CNC alternatives.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- SK-50 or HSK A-100 spindle interface for large and long-reach tooling
- Spindle rated 43 kW (57.7 hp) with a stated top speed of 8,000 rpm
- X travel of 3,000 mm (118.1 in) with the column, not the workpiece, doing the moving
- Torque-motor ZS head tilting continuously through +/- 120º on the B axis
- 50 tools as listed, expandable to 100 tools as an option
Limitations
- 8,000 rpm limits small-diameter tools, especially in aluminium
- Listed power of 43 kW (57.7 hp) is below the up to 46 kW (61.7 hp) quoted for the ZMS4_30.08, despite the larger taper
- The optional magazine tops out at 100 tools, against 150 tools on the ZMS4_30.08
- Y and Z are 800 mm (31.5 in) each, narrow next to 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X
- No spindle torque figure is listed, which is the number heavy 50-taper roughing depends on

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table lists an SK-50 and HSK A-100 taper, 43 kW (57.7 hp) of spindle power and a maximum speed of 8,000 rpm. Torque is not given. If the work is heavy roughing, ask Ibarmia for the torque curve, since power alone does not show what is available at low speed.
02
Decide by tooling. The ZMS5_30.08 takes SK-50 or HSK A-100 holders at 43 kW (57.7 hp) and 8,000 rpm, with an optional 100 tools. The ZMS4_30.08 takes SK-40 or HSK A-63 holders at up to 46 kW (61.7 hp), with an optional 150 tools. Both have 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and Z.
03
For large cutters, yes. For small end mills and drills it is restrictive, because small tools need high spindle speed to reach an efficient cutting speed in aluminium. The table lists 8,000 rpm as the maximum and shows no faster spindle for this model.
04
X travel is 3,000 mm (118.1 in). Y and Z are each 800 mm (31.5 in), so the usable volume is long and comparatively slim. The structure is a moving column, which means the part stays put while the column covers the X stroke. A maximum swing diameter of 1,100 mm (43.3 in) is listed as well.
05
The B axis is listed at +/- 120º. The ZS head is described as a continuous tilting head with a torque motor, giving 4-axis movement. The table shows no rotary axis for the workpiece, so anything beyond the head's tilt would need equipment that is not listed here.
