How much does the Onsrud 122E 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 122E 5-Axis 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
On the Onsrud 122E 5-Axis the table is 60 in (1,524 mm) deep, and the 5-axis head rides the fixed steel bridge of the E-Series. Standard figures are an 18 hp (13.4 kW) spindle, 24,000 rpm, 12 tools and a 28 in (711 mm) Z-stroke.
Four width columns set table X at 60 in (1,524 mm), 72 in (1,829 mm), 96 in (2,439 mm) or 120 in (3,048 mm). The largest gives a five-by-ten working surface under a head that can reach the sides of a part, which is the usual brief for composite tooling, marine parts and large thermoformed shells.
Machine width is the figure to watch. Onsrud lists 292 in (7,417 mm) for the W5 column and 260 in (6,604 mm) for the other three. The narrowest table has the widest frame in the table as printed, so ask what the W5 configuration includes. Lengths are 179 in (4,547 mm), 159 in (4,039 mm), 210 in (5,334 mm) and 243 in (6,173 mm).
The series text recommends laser compensation and linear scales (encoders) where tolerances are tight. Height is 165 in (4,191 mm), or 189 in (4,801 mm) with a 40 in (1,016 mm) stroke. Vacuum is 4 zones, 4-6 for W10. A second spindle, a 33 hp (24.6 kW) motor and a 24-tool capacity are on the upgrade list.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
60 in (1,524 mm) in Y, with table X of 60 in (1,524 mm), 72 in (1,829 mm), 96 in (2,439 mm) or 120 in (3,048 mm) for the W5, W6, W8 and W10 columns.
02
260 in (6,604 mm) in the W6, W8 and W10 columns. Onsrud prints 292 in (7,417 mm) for W5. The difference is not explained on the page, so confirm it against a layout drawing.
03
For applications with tight tolerances the maker recommends laser compensation and linear scales (encoders). It also offers devices that measure tool height, width and wear and enter the offsets automatically.
04
18 hp (13.4 kW) is standard and 33 hp (24.6 kW) is the upgrade, at 24,000 rpm. Up to 2 spindles can be fitted. Onsrud's lineup overview quotes other ratings for this range, so have the quote state the spindle.
