How much does the Onsrud 480GW12 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 480GW12 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
In the 16 in and 18 in blocks of Onsrud's G-Series 5-Axis table, nothing is larger than the 480GW12 5-Axis. Its table is 480 in (12,192 mm) long and 144 in (3,658 mm) wide: forty feet by twelve.
Shallow strokes on a table of that area make a specialised machine. The Z-stroke is 16 in (406 mm) or 18 in (457 mm). So the parts are big, flat and detailed: floor and roof panels for buildings, long laminated skins, signage and cladding with bevelled edges, deck panels for large boats. The 5-axis head cuts the angles that a 3-axis line would leave for hand finishing.
The frame is 224 in (5,690 mm) wide. The 16 in version is 590 in (14,986 mm) long and 103 in (2,617 mm) high, with 11 vacuum zones. The 18 in version is 586 in (14,885 mm) long and 140 in (3,556 mm) high, with 10 zones. That difference of one zone is as Onsrud prints it.
No single spindle covers this table quickly. The standard head is 18 hp (13.4 kW), 24,000 rpm, 12 tools. A second gantry is the listed route to more output, and a second 12-position rotary ATC keeps tools near the work. Dust collection needs thought on a bed this long, and the maker's floating duct system is the option aimed at it.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Largest table in the 16 in and 18 in blocks: 480 in (12,192 mm) by 144 in (3,658 mm)
- 5-axis edge and angle work on very large flat parts
- Dual gantry and second tool changer offered
- Machine height of 103 in (2,617 mm) with the 16 in stroke
Limitations
- Footprint of 590 in (14,986 mm) by 224 in (5,690 mm)
- Z-stroke of 16 in (406 mm) or 18 in (457 mm) only
- Zone count differs between the two stroke versions and should be confirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
480 in (12,192 mm) in X by 144 in (3,658 mm) in Y. It is the largest table Onsrud lists for the G-Series 5-Axis with a 16 in or 18 in Z-stroke.
02
The 16 in machine is 590 in (14,986 mm) long, 224 in (5,690 mm) wide and 103 in (2,617 mm) high. The 18 in machine is 586 in (14,885 mm) long, 224 in (5,690 mm) wide and 140 in (3,556 mm) high. Add room for loading equipment, since the table is too wide to load by hand.
03
Onsrud's table shows 11 zones in the 16 in block and 10 in the 18 in block, without explanation. The 3-axis table shows the same split between its forty-foot codes. Confirm the layout on the quotation.
04
Not under this code. For 28 in and 40 in of Z, Onsrud lists the 456GW12 5-Axis, with a table X of 456 in (11,583 mm) on the same 144 in (3,658 mm) width.
