How much does the Onsrud 228GW8 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 228GW8 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
The Onsrud 228GW8 5-Axis is the only eight-foot-wide model that appears solely in the 18 in (457 mm) block of Onsrud's G-Series 5-Axis table. Its table is 228 in (5,792 mm) in X by 96 in (2,439 mm) in Y.
Nineteen feet by eight is close to the proportions of a small boat deck, a camper floor or a pair of aircraft floor panels. That is the kind of part this table is sized for. They are wide enough to need the GW bridge, and they carry cores, stiffeners or edge returns that make an 18 in stroke more comfortable than a shorter one.
For a purely flat part the 240GW8 5-Axis is the lower machine, with a foot more table at 240 in (6,096 mm). Here the frame is 331 in (8,408 mm) long, 172 in (4,369 mm) wide and 140 in (3,556 mm) high.
Five vacuum zones are standard. Wide parts with cores are usually held on purpose-made fixtures, and Onsrud's custom vacuum zones allow the table plumbing to suit them. The head is the series standard: 18 hp (13.4 kW), 24,000 rpm, 12 tools, with a second 12-position rotary ATC available. Because the bridge is long, check with the maker where the tool changer sits and how far the head travels to reach it.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A 5-axis moving-gantry router from the G-Series with a table of 228 in (5,792 mm) by 96 in (2,439 mm) and an 18 in (457 mm) Z-stroke. It has 5 vacuum zones and an 18 hp (13.4 kW), 24,000 rpm spindle as standard.
02
331 in (8,408 mm) long, 172 in (4,369 mm) wide and 140 in (3,556 mm) high. The length and height match the narrower 229G 5-Axis; only the width is greater.
03
The 240GW8 5-Axis has a 16 in stroke, 240 in (6,096 mm) of table X and a machine height of 103 in (2,617 mm). The 228GW8 5-Axis has two more inches of stroke on a shorter table and is taller. Flat panels favour the first, cored and stiffened parts the second.
04
Onsrud's page does not say. It gives a standard capacity of 12 tools, lists a second tool changer as an upgrade and mentions a second 12-position rotary ATC. Ask for the layout, since travel to the changer adds to every tool change.
