How much does the Niigata HN1000-S cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Niigata HN1000-S 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 Niigata HN1000-S is a 1,000 mm pallet horizontal machining center that mixes two guideway types to move a large column quickly: 41 m/min (1,614 ipm) on X, Y and Z. Its envelope is the same as the all-sliding HN100D-II, with travels of 2,030 mm, 1,650 mm and 1,200 mm and a workpiece of φ2,300 mm × 1,850 mm, so the S model is best understood as the productivity version of that machine.
Niigata's term is hybrid guide system. X and Z are carried on high-rigidity roller guides. Y keeps the maker's traditional square sliding way, hardened, polished and hand-scraped, because the spindle head rides on it and that is where damping and tool life are decided. Around the guides Niigata quotes three changes against the previous series: a base made 25% thicker, Z-axis guide spacing widened by 75%, and a monster column with 40% more rigidity.
The standard spindle differs from the HN-D machines too. A two-stage gear system gives 1,200 N·m (885 lb-ft) and 37 kW (49.6 hp) at up to 6,000 min-1. That is more power and less torque than the classic HN spindle, which remains available here as the high torque option at 1,948 N·m and 30 kW. A third choice, 15,000 min-1 with 400 N·m and 45 kW, covers light-alloy work.
The pallet carries 3,500 kg (7,716 lb), or 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) as an option. Indexing is 1° with a 0.001° option, and the magazine starts at 62 tools. Niigata also notes that the structure is suited to mounting a bar head, which is the basis of the separate HN1000-S BAR.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 41 m/min (1,614 ipm) rapids with 2,030 mm of X travel
- Roller guides on X and Z, hand-scraped sliding way on Y
- 37 kW (49.6 hp) standard spindle with 1,200 N·m (885 lb-ft)
- Three spindle choices, including 1,948 N·m high torque and 15,000 min-1 high power options
- Base 25% thicker and column 40% more rigid than the previous series, by Niigata's figures
Limitations
- Standard torque of 1,200 N·m is below the 1,948 N·m that comes as standard on the HN100D-II
- X and Z do not have sliding ways, which some heavy-cutting shops prefer on every axis
- The 5,000 kg pallet load and 0.001° indexing are both options

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The X and Z axes use high-rigidity roller guides for high-speed and heavy cutting, and the Y axis uses Niigata's traditional sliding structure with a hardened, polished guide surface and a hand-scraped slide. The combination is what allows 41 m/min rapid traverse on each axis.
02
Three are listed. The standard spindle is 6,000 min-1, 1,200 N·m and 37 kW. The high torque specification is 6,000 min-1, 1,948 N·m and 30 kW. The high-power specification is 15,000 min-1, 400 N·m and 45 kW. The last two are options, and all use BT50 tooling.
03
Pallet size, travels and maximum workpiece are identical. The HN1000-S rapids at 41 m/min with roller guides on two axes and a 1,200 N·m standard spindle. The HN100D-II rapids at 30 m/min on sliding guides and has the 1,948 N·m spindle as standard.
04
3,500 kg (7,716 lb) as standard, with 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) shown as an option. The pallet is 1,000 mm × 1,000 mm and the workpiece may be up to φ2,300 mm in swing and 1,850 mm high.
