How much does the Niigata HN80E-5X cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Niigata HN80E-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
The Niigata HN80E-5X is the flagship of the HN-5X series: a 5-axis horizontal machining center with an 800 mm × 800 mm pallet in a trunnion, a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) load rating and a 1,948 N·m (1,437 lb-ft) spindle. Its workpiece envelope is φ1,250 mm × 1,000 mm.
A tonne and a half on a tilting axis comes with a condition, and Niigata prints it: the 1,500 kg figure is subject to limitations on the center of gravity of the workpiece. A tall part held far from the tilt axis loads the trunnion very differently from a flat one. Anyone planning to use the full rating should send Niigata the part and fixture layout before ordering.
The axes are sized to match. X travels 1,250 mm (49.2 in), Y 1,230 mm (48.4 in) and Z 1,200 mm (47.2 in), all at 30 m/min. The table tilts on A from 10° to -100° and rotates on B through 360°, with 0.0001° indexing.
Spindle choice is shared with the HN63E-5XW. The standard high-power spindle gives 1,948 N·m with 30 kW (40.2 hp) up to 6,000 min-1. The alternatives are 1,200 N·m with 37 kW at the same speed, or a 15,000 min-1 high speed spindle with 350 N·m and 35 kW. All take BT50 tools, and the magazine holds 62 as standard. Structurally the machine follows the rest of the series, with a thick ribbed T-shaped base, the monster column and scraped sliding surfaces.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 800 mm × 800 mm trunnion pallet rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb)
- 1,948 N·m (1,437 lb-ft), 30 kW (40.2 hp) standard spindle
- Workpiece up to φ1,250 mm × 1,000 mm in five axes
- 30 m/min rapids on X, Y and Z
- Optional 37 kW or 15,000 min-1 spindles
Limitations
- The 1,500 kg rating is limited by the workpiece's center of gravity
- X travel of 1,250 mm is shorter than the 1,530 mm of the 4-axis HN80E
- The 15,000 min-1 option provides only 350 N·m

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table gives a maximum mass on the pallet of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), marked with a note that limitations on the center of gravity of the workpiece apply. The pallet is 800 mm × 800 mm and the maximum workpiece is φ1,250 mm × 1,000 mm.
02
The linear axes travel 1,250 mm in X, 1,230 mm in Y and 1,200 mm in Z, with 30 m/min rapid traverse. The A axis tilts between 10° and -100°, and the B axis rotates 360°.
03
The 4-axis HN80E carries 2,500 kg, swings φ1,750 mm × 1,400 mm and has 1,530 mm of X travel. The HN80E-5X adds the tilting A axis and gains Z travel, 1,200 mm, but carries 1,500 kg and a φ1,250 mm × 1,000 mm part. Both have the 1,948 N·m spindle as standard.
04
Standard is a 6,000 min-1 high-power spindle with 1,948 N·m and 30 kW. Niigata also lists a 6,000 min-1 spindle with 1,200 N·m and 37 kW, and a 15,000 min-1 high speed spindle with 350 N·m and 35 kW.
