How much does the Quaser HX504 Cell cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Quaser HX504 Cell 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
For production that has outgrown a twin-pallet horizontal, the Quaser HX504 Cell puts 8 or 14 pallets of 500 mm (□19.7") behind a 40 taper spindle. It is one of two machines on Quaser's 500-size cell platform; the other, the HX505 Cell, is the 50 taper variant.
The machine at the center is recognizably the HX504. X travel is 762 mm (30"), Y is 640 mm (25.2"), and Z is 810 mm (31.9"), the long Z that lets tools up to 450 mm (17.7") retract clear of a fixture. Maximum work swing is Ø762 mm (Ø30") and each pallet takes 500 kg (1,102 lbs).
Where the cell departs from the standalone machine is in capacity for unattended hours. The magazine has 240 positions as standard. Pallets move between a matrix type external store and the work zone through a swing type internal changer. Quaser presents the FMC series as scalable, from one machine to multiple production lines, with simple installation.
Two figures deserve a check against your parts. Work piece height is 740 mm (29.1"), lower than the 900 mm (35.4") of the HX504. And the spindle is listed at 9K ~ 15K. If the family of parts includes heavy iron that wants big cutters, compare the HX505 Cell: it trades this machine's 240 tools for 150, and gains tools of 110 mm (4.3") diameter with a full magazine.
