How much does the Niigata HN1600-S cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Niigata HN1600-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
Top of the HN-S range, the Niigata HN1600-S is a horizontal machining center for parts up to φ3,200 mm × 3,000 mm and 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). The pallet is 1,600 mm × 1,320 mm (63.0 in × 52.0 in). Travels are 3,050 mm (120.1 in) in X, 2,200 mm (86.6 in) in Y and 1,420 mm (55.9 in) in Z.
The point of the S design shows most clearly at this size. The all-sliding HN130D covers the same travels at 18 / 12 / 12 m/min. The HN1600-S, with roller guides under X and Z and a scraped sliding way on Y, rapids at 30 m/min on every axis. On a part three metres across, where a single repositioning move can be most of the stroke, that difference accumulates over a cycle.
Niigata's standard spindle for the series is used unchanged: BT50, 6,000 min-1, 37 kW (49.6 hp) and 1,200 N·m (885 lb-ft) through a two-stage gear system. If the work is heavy roughing in tough material, the high torque option restores 1,948 N·m with 30 kW. A 15,000 min-1, 45 kW spindle is also listed.
The structural claims Niigata makes for the HN-S series apply here: a base 25% thicker than the previous series and a monster column on Z-axis guides spaced 75% wider. The pallet rating can be raised to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) as an option. The standard table indexes in 1° steps, with 0.001° optional, and tool storage runs from 62 tools to 255.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 30 m/min rapids on a machine with 3,050 mm of X and 2,200 mm of Y travel
- 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) pallet load, 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) as an option
- 1,600 mm × 1,320 mm pallet and φ3,200 mm × 3,000 mm workpiece
- 37 kW (49.6 hp) standard spindle, with a 1,948 N·m high torque option
- Roller guides on X and Z combined with a sliding Y axis
Limitations
- Rapids drop to 30 m/min, where the two smaller HN-S models reach 41 m/min
- Standard torque is 1,200 N·m; the 1,948 N·m spindle is an option here but standard on the HN130D
- 1,420 mm of Z travel limits how far the spindle reaches into a 3,200 mm swing

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels are 3,050 mm in X, 2,200 mm in Y and 1,420 mm in Z. The pallet measures 1,600 mm × 1,320 mm, and the maximum workpiece is φ3,200 mm in swing diameter and 3,000 mm in height.
02
Niigata gives 41 m/min for the series and notes 30 m/min for the HN1600-S. The table confirms 30 m/min on X, Y and Z. The larger moving masses are the likely reason, and 30 m/min is still well above the rates of the similarly sized HN130D.
03
The standard pallet load is 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). A 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) rating is listed in brackets as an option. Check with Niigata which table type the higher rating requires.
04
The standard spindle is 6,000 min-1 with 1,200 N·m and 37 kW, using a two-stage gear system and a BT50 shank. Options are a high torque specification of 1,948 N·m and 30 kW, and a high-power specification of 15,000 min-1, 400 N·m and 45 kW.
