How much does the Niigata HN63E-5X cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Niigata HN63E-5X 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
One tonne on a tilting table is the headline of the Niigata HN63E-5X. This 5-axis horizontal machining center carries 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) on a 630 mm × 630 mm pallet mounted in a high-rigidity trunnion, and machines a workpiece of up to φ950 mm × 800 mm.
Linear travels are 900 mm (35.4 in) in X, 930 mm (36.6 in) in Y and 830 mm (32.7 in) in Z. The A axis tilts the table between 10° and -100° and the B axis turns the pallet through 360°, with the NC table resolving 0.0001°. Tilting past the horizontal by 10° in one direction and well beyond vertical in the other lets the spindle reach undercut features without a second setup.
The spindle is the 901 N·m (665 lb-ft), 26 kW (34.9 hp) high-power unit used across the HN-E range, with BT50 tooling and a 6,000 min-1 limit. A 12,000 min-1 spindle with 420 N·m and 30 kW is the alternative. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min on the linear axes.
Niigata uses photographs of this model to illustrate the series structure: the T-shaped integrated base in thick, ribbed cast iron and the bell-shaped monster column. The sliding surfaces are lined and hand-scraped to reduce chatter. Within the 5X line-up this is the compact 630 mm machine. The HN63E-5XW keeps the pallet but widens the travels and steps up to a 1,948 N·m spindle, so the choice between them is about reach and torque, not table size.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) on a trunnion-mounted 630 mm × 630 mm pallet
- A axis from 10° to -100°, B axis 360°, 0.0001° NC table
- 901 N·m (665 lb-ft) standard spindle with 26 kW (34.9 hp)
- Workpiece up to φ950 mm × 800 mm
- Thick ribbed T-shaped base, monster column and hand-scraped sliding surfaces
Limitations
- X travel is 900 mm; the HN63E-5XW offers 1,200 mm on the same pallet
- Standard spindle torque of 901 N·m is less than half the 1,948 N·m of the HN63E-5XW
- Rapid traverse is 30 m/min and standard spindle speed 6,000 min-1

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The maximum mass on the pallet is 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). The pallet is 630 mm × 630 mm, and the maximum workpiece is φ950 mm in swing by 800 mm in height.
02
X is 900 mm, Y is 930 mm and Z is 830 mm. The A axis (tilt table rotation) ranges from 10° to -100° and the B axis (pallet rotation) is 360°. Rapid traverse on X, Y and Z is 30 m/min.
03
Both use a 630 mm × 630 mm pallet rated at 1,000 kg. The HN63E-5XW has longer travels of 1,200 mm, 1,230 mm and 1,200 mm, a φ1,150 mm × 800 mm workpiece and a 1,948 N·m standard spindle. The HN63E-5X has the 901 N·m spindle and shorter travels.
04
Yes. Besides the standard 6,000 min-1 high-power spindle with 901 N·m and 26 kW, Niigata lists a high speed spindle with 12,000 min-1, 420 N·m and a 30 kW motor for this model.
