How much does the Onsrud 240GW12 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 240GW12 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 240GW12 5-Axis spans a table 144 in (3,658 mm) wide, the full twelve-foot class, with 240 in (6,096 mm) of length. It is listed with a 16 in (406 mm) or 18 in (457 mm) Z-stroke, so the working volume is very wide, long and shallow.
Not many parts are twelve feet wide. The reason to buy this table is more often loading freedom. Two or three different fixtures can stand side by side across the bridge as well as along the bed, and a large panel can be placed at an angle if its shape demands it. The 5-axis head then reaches each part from whichever side the feature is on.
Plan for a frame 224 in (5,690 mm) wide. With the 16 in stroke it is 335 in (8,509 mm) long and 103 in (2,617 mm) high. With the 18 in stroke it is 331 in (8,408 mm) long and 140 in (3,556 mm) high. Workpieces have to be lifted in, since nobody reaches the middle of this table from the floor.
Onsrud lists 5 vacuum zones as standard, which is few for the area, and offers custom zones. The standard head is an 18 hp (13.4 kW) spindle at 24,000 rpm with 12 tools. A 33 hp (24.6 kW) spindle and a second tool changer are options, and the control is a FANUC interface or Onsrud's touchscreen.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is 144 in (3,658 mm) in Y and 240 in (6,096 mm) in X. The machine frame is 224 in (5,690 mm) wide, and 335 in (8,509 mm) or 331 in (8,408 mm) long depending on the Z-stroke.
02
103 in (2,617 mm) with the 16 in stroke and 140 in (3,556 mm) with the 18 in stroke. Those are low figures for a machine of this width, because the strokes are short.
03
5 are standard on a table of 240 in (6,096 mm) by 144 in (3,658 mm). For fixture work that is often enough, because each fixture has its own vacuum circuit. For parts held directly on the table, ask about custom vacuum zones, which Onsrud offers.
04
The 228GW12 5-Axis, which has the same 144 in (3,658 mm) table width, a table X of 228 in (5,792 mm), and 28 in or 40 in of Z-stroke.
