How much does the Onsrud 240G 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 240G 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 240G 5-Axis is a twenty-foot, five-foot-wide gantry router with a 5-axis head and a 16 in (406 mm) Z-stroke. Onsrud gives the table as 240 in (6,096 mm) by 61 in (1,550 mm) and lists 5 vacuum zones.
Its place in the lineup is easiest to see against two neighbours. The 3-axis machine of this frame is the 241G, and the 18 in 5-axis machine is the 229G 5-Axis, whose table is shorter at 229 in (5,817 mm). The 240G 5-Axis is the low, long one of the three: 103 in (2,617 mm) high and 335 in (8,509 mm) long, on a frame 136 in (3,455 mm) wide.
Twenty feet of table under a 5-axis head suits long, shallow parts. Think of aircraft interior panels, bus and trailer side skins, or long aluminum sections that need angled cuts at both ends and holes along their length. The part stays put and the gantry does the travelling.
On long travels accuracy takes more care. Onsrud recommends laser compensation and linear scales for applications with tight tolerances, and both should be discussed for a table of this length. The standard spindle is 18 hp (13.4 kW), 24,000 rpm, and a 33 hp (24.6 kW) unit is optional. Tool capacity is 12.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
240 in (6,096 mm) in X and 61 in (1,550 mm) in Y, with 5 vacuum zones as standard. The machine around it is 335 in (8,509 mm) long, 136 in (3,455 mm) wide and 103 in (2,617 mm) high.
02
The 229G 5-Axis is the 18 in stroke model, with a table X of 229 in (5,817 mm) and a height of 140 in (3,556 mm). The 240G 5-Axis has a 16 in stroke, a 240 in (6,096 mm) table and a height of 103 in (2,617 mm).
03
Onsrud does not list them as standard. Its page says that if an application requires tight tolerances it recommends laser compensation and linear scales (encoders). On a 240 in (6,096 mm) table that advice is worth following for precision work.
04
An 18 hp (13.4 kW) spindle reaching 24,000 rpm is standard, with a 12-tool capacity. The listed upgrade is 33 hp (24.6 kW), which is the choice for heavier cuts in aluminum.
