How much does the Spinner U5-1530 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Spinner. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Spinner U5-1530 is a 5-axis machining center with a long X axis. Travels are 1,530 mm in X, 530 mm in Y and 465 mm in Z, and the fifth axis is a rotary table 650 mm in diameter. Spinner states the maximum workpiece dimensions as up to around 500 x 500 x 500 mm.
Those figures describe two different jobs. The 500 mm cube is the part that sits on the rotary table and is machined from several sides. The X stroke, at more than twice the table diameter, runs well past the rotary table, and the sensible reading is that long parts can also be clamped and machined along it. Spinner's page gives no table size or table load, so ask how the area beside the rotary table is laid out and what it can carry before planning long work on it.
Spindle and magazine are chosen at order. Spindle options run from 12,000 to 20,000 rpm, the tool interface is BBT40, HSK63, SK40 or BT40, and the magazine holds between 32 and 122 tools. Robobox and Robobox Xtreme are the automation systems listed. Against the VC 1150, which has 1,150 mm of X, 620 mm of Y and 600 mm of Z, the U5-1530 has the longer X and gives up travel in Y and Z, most of all in Z.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,530 mm of X travel combined with 530 mm of Y and 465 mm of Z on a 5-axis machine
- 650 mm rotary table as the fifth axis, with a stated workpiece envelope of up to around 500 x 500 x 500 mm
- Spindle options from 12,000 to 20,000 rpm, with BBT40, HSK63, SK40 or BT40 tool interfaces
- Magazine options from 32 to 122 tools, enough at the top end to keep the tooling of several jobs loaded
- Two automation systems are listed for the model, Robobox and Robobox Xtreme
Limitations
- Z travel is 465 mm, so a tall part and a long tool together use up the stroke sooner than the 1,530 mm of X suggests
- The stated workpiece envelope of up to around 500 x 500 x 500 mm is far shorter than the X stroke, so a long part cannot be assumed to be reachable from five sides
- The 20,000 rpm spindle and the 122-tool magazine are the top of an option range, not what every machine carries
- Spinner's page gives no spindle power, torque, rapid traverse, table load or machine weight for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,530 mm in X, 530 mm in Y and 465 mm in Z. The fifth axis is a rotary table with a diameter of 650 mm. Spinner states the maximum workpiece dimensions as up to around 500 x 500 x 500 mm, which is much less than the X travel, so check the reachable envelope for your part with the tool lengths you plan to run.
02
The spindle speed row gives a range of 12,000 to 20,000 rpm, so the top speed depends on the spindle ordered. The listed tool interfaces are BBT40, HSK63, SK40 and BT40. Spinner's page does not pair each interface with a speed and gives no power or torque figures, so ask for the data sheet of the spindle you are considering.
03
Between 32 and 122 tools, depending on the magazine chosen. The smallest magazine suits a shop running a few repeat jobs. The largest lets the tooling for many jobs stay in the machine, which matters most when the machine is paired with one of the listed automation systems and runs unattended.
04
Spinner lists Robobox and Robobox Xtreme for this model. The page states no capacities or part weights for either system, so the choice between them has to be settled with Spinner against your part size and batch length.
