How much does the Onsrud 229G 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 229G 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
With 229 in (5,817 mm) of table X and an 18 in (457 mm) Z-stroke, the Onsrud 229G 5-Axis is the nineteen-foot model of the G-Series 5-Axis line. Table Y is 61 in (1,550 mm). Onsrud lists it once, in the 18 in block.
The 18 in block has only three codes of its own, and this is the middle one. Its companions are the 181G 5-Axis at 181 in (4,598 mm) and the 228GW8 5-Axis, which has almost the same length on an eight-foot-wide table. All three stand 140 in (3,556 mm) high.
Nineteen feet with five vacuum zones is a good format for long parts that are not perfectly flat. Curved roof bows, boat frames cut from laminated stock and aluminum members with joggles all need a little more Z than a sheet machine has, and the head needs room to lean into them. The foam and wood that Onsrud names among the materials for the series are often machined this way, as long blanks carved to a shallow profile.
The frame is 331 in (8,408 mm) long and 136 in (3,455 mm) wide. The standard spindle is 18 hp (13.4 kW) at 24,000 rpm. If the work includes aluminum, look at the 33 hp (24.6 kW) option and at the maker's recommendation of laser compensation and linear scales for tight tolerances.

03
5. With an odd number the table does not divide into two equal halves, so if pendulum loading is planned, agree the zone layout with the maker or specify custom zones.
04
Yes. The 228GW8 5-Axis table is 228 in (5,792 mm) by 96 in (2,439 mm), and its frame is 172 in (4,369 mm) wide. Length and height match the 229G 5-Axis.
