How much does the Soraluce FXR 12000 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Soraluce. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Soraluce FXR 12000 picks up where the FR 8000 ends. Its Y travel comes in four steps, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 or 8,000 mm, against a maximum of 4,500 mm on the FR 8000, while X again starts at 4,000 mm with no stated limit and Z is 1,600 or 1,900 mm. For a part that needs more Y in a single setup than the FR 8000 can give, this is the model to configure.
What changes with the bigger Y stroke is the proportion between the axes, not the hardware list. Z stays at 1,900 mm at most even on the 8,000 mm version, and the quill option contributes a W axis of 1,000 mm, so reach into a deep workpiece depends on the head more than on the machine size. Soraluce lists quills of Ø 130, 150 and 180 mm beside the universal, orthogonal and angle milling heads and a horizontal milling attachment; changing a quill or milling head is given as 90 seconds. Indexing of the automatic head is stepless and simultaneous, or in 1° or 2.5° steps.
Drive figures are identical to the FR 8000: rapid traverse of 25,000 mm/min, 35,000 N of feed force, ISO 50 or HSK 100 tooling, and spindle options that span 53, 60, 70, 74 or 101 kW at 100% ED with 1,734, 2,000, 4,378, 5,380, 7,995 or 10,907 Nm and top speeds of 2,500, 3,750, 4,000, 6,000 or 7,000 rpm. Which torque belongs to which speed is not stated, so that pairing has to be fixed in the order.
Long Y strokes also mean long trips for the head. At 25,000 mm/min, crossing an 8,000 mm stroke takes noticeable time, which is a reason to group operations by tool and to ask where the 40 to 150 pocket magazine sits relative to the work. Internal coolant (IKZ) reaches 70 bar, with a spray ring as well, and control is by Heidenhain TNC 640 or TNC7 or Siemens Sinumerik One.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Y travel of 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 or 8,000 mm, beyond the 4,500 mm maximum of the FR 8000
- The full spindle menu of the smaller model is kept: up to 101 kW at 100% ED and up to 10,907 Nm
- Quills of Ø 130, 150 and 180 mm and four other head types, exchanged in 90 seconds
- 35,000 N of feed force on every Y size
- Magazine sizes of 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 or 150 pockets
Limitations
- Z is 1,600 or 1,900 mm whatever the Y travel, so depth of reach does not grow with the machine
- Rapid traverse of 25,000 mm/min is modest across a Y stroke of up to 8,000 mm
- The table does not link the torque ratings to the speed ratings; the 7,000 rpm and 10,907 Nm figures come from different lines of the menu
- Table, load and weight figures are absent from the listed specification and must come with the offer

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Four: 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 or 8,000 mm. X begins at 4,000 mm with no listed maximum, and Z is 1,600 or 1,900 mm whichever Y is chosen. A quill option brings a W axis of 1,000 mm.
02
No. Both list the same spindle options, from 53 to 101 kW at 100% ED and from 1,734 to 10,907 Nm, the same 25,000 mm/min rapid traverse and feed force of 35,000 N. The FXR 12000 differs in Y travel, which starts at 5,000 mm where the FR 8000 ends at 4,500 mm.
03
Maximum speed depends on the spindle chosen: 2,500, 3,750, 4,000, 6,000 or 7,000 rpm. Tooling is ISO 50 or HSK 100. Soraluce's table lists torque separately and does not link a torque figure to a speed, so the 10,907 Nm rating should not be assumed at 7,000 rpm.
04
Soraluce lists magazines with 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 or 150 pockets. On a machine with up to 8,000 mm of Y, a larger magazine reduces manual tool loading during long cycles on big parts.
05
Internal coolant supply (IKZ) is listed at up to 70 bar, alongside a spray ring. No tank size or pump flow is given in the table, so ask for both if deep drilling is planned.
