How much does the Roeders RP500 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Roeders. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Roeders RP500 is a compact 5-axis high-speed machining center: 500 x 450 x 350 mm of travel (19.7 x 17.7 x 13.8 in), a 42,000 RPM spindle and a swivel table carrying up to 100 kg (220 lb). The current Roeders lineup does not include an RP500, so this page works from the listed figures, which an inspection of the actual machine should confirm.
Both rotary axes are in the table. B is a swivel table with a range of ±115 degrees and C rotates continuously without limit, so the part is tilted and turned under the spindle. The working envelope is stated directly: 500 mm (19.7 in) maximum workpiece diameter on the table and 300 mm (11.8 in) maximum height. With only 100 kg (220 lb) allowed, the part, the fixture and any pallet or chuck all count against the limit.
The spindle is listed at 22 kW (29.5 hp), with HSK-E32 as standard and HSK-A63 as an option. Those are very different tool interfaces, and the one fitted sets the practical range of cutter sizes, so it is the first thing to establish. Tools come from a 24-station magazine, or a 60-station magazine where that option was bought, with a 1.5 sec tool-to-tool time.
X, Y and Z run on linear drives at 60,000 mm/min (2,362 ipm) with 0.5 g of acceleration. Listed positioning accuracy is ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) and repeatability ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in), on a Granitan mineral casting base. The machine weighs 5,500 kg (12,125 lb), occupies approximately 2.2 m x 2.8 m and is listed for a 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz supply, which matters if it is going to a site with a different mains standard.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 42,000 RPM spindle rated at 22 kW (29.5 hp)
- Linear drives on X, Y and Z with 60,000 mm/min (2,362 ipm) rapids and 0.5 g acceleration
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) and repeatability of ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in)
- ±115 degrees of B swivel combined with unlimited continuous C rotation
- 1.5 sec tool-to-tool change from a 24-station magazine, with a 60-station magazine optional
- Footprint of approximately 2.2 m x 2.8 m for a machine weighing 5,500 kg (12,125 lb)
Limitations
- Table load is limited to 100 kg (220 lb), fixture included
- Workpieces cannot exceed 500 mm (19.7 in) in diameter or 300 mm (11.8 in) in height
- HSK-A63 is an option; the standard HSK-E32 interface restricts shank and cutter size
- The standard magazine has 24 stations and the 60-station magazine is an option
- The electrical supply is listed as 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz, so a site on a different voltage or frequency has to plan for that

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum workpiece diameter on the table is 500 mm (19.7 in) and the maximum height is 300 mm (11.8 in). Maximum table load is 100 kg (220 lb). Axis travel is 500 mm (19.7 in) in X, 450 mm (17.7 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z.
02
The spindle is listed at 42,000 RPM and 22 kW (29.5 hp). HSK-E32 is the standard taper and HSK-A63 is an option. Holders for the two do not interchange, so confirm which interface is on the machine before pricing tooling.
03
A 24-station magazine is standard and a 60-station magazine is listed as an option. Tool-to-tool change time is 1.5 sec. The table gives no maximum tool diameter, length or weight, so take those limits from the machine's documents.
04
Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) and repeatability at ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in). The axes X, Y and Z use linear drives and the base is Granitan mineral casting. On a machine in service, ask for a current calibration report to see what it holds now.
05
The machine weighs 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) and has a footprint of approximately 2.2 m x 2.8 m. The electrical row reads 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz. No connected load, air supply or coolant figures are listed, so those need to come from the installation documents.
