How much does the Onsrud 480GW12 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 480GW12 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
No table in Onsrud's 3-axis G-Series chart is bigger than that of the Onsrud 480GW12: 480 in (12,192 mm) in X by 144 in (3,658 mm) in Y, forty feet by twelve. The machine around it is 224 in (5,690 mm) wide.
What goes on a table like this? Long structural panels, boat stringers and decks, trailer floors, rows of aluminum plate. Or ordinary sheets in quantity, staged along the bed and held by the 11 standard vacuum zones while the gantry works through them. Onsrud describes the series as built for continuous duty, and the size of this model only makes sense in a shop that runs it that way.
Three Z-strokes are listed. The 11 in (279 mm) version is 590 in (14,986 mm) long and 103 in (2,617 mm) high. The 28 in (711 mm) and 40 in (1,016 mm) versions share one frame, 602 in (15,291 mm) long and 167 in (4,242 mm) high, so choosing between those two does not change the building requirement.
The standard spindle is 18 hp (13.4 kW) at 24,000 rpm with a capacity of 12 tools, modest for the table. The upgrade list is where this model gets configured: 24 hp (17.9 kW), up to 4 spindles side by side on the twelve-foot bridge, a second tool changer and a second gantry.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
480 in (12,192 mm) in X and 144 in (3,658 mm) in Y. It is the largest table Onsrud prints for the 3-axis G-Series, and the maker also offers an XL model for buyers who need a larger work area.
02
Yes. With 11 in of Z the machine is 590 in (14,986 mm) long and 103 in (2,617 mm) high. With 28 in or 40 in it is 602 in (15,291 mm) long and 167 in (4,242 mm) high. The 224 in (5,690 mm) width does not change.
03
The 468GW12 is the 18 in stroke version, with a table X of 468 in (11,888 mm) and 10 vacuum zones against 11 here. The 468GW12 frame is 586 in (14,885 mm) long and 140 in (3,556 mm) high.
04
The series allows up to 4 spindles. Onsrud describes adding a second, third or fourth spindle to machine simultaneously, and parking one spindle so another can reach the entire table for a larger part.
