How much does the Spinner VC 1150 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Spinner. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
With 1,150 mm of X travel, 620 mm of Y and 600 mm of Z, the Spinner VC 1150 is a large vertical machining center that is sold with a wide spread of spindles more than as one fixed machine.
The spindle speed row reads 5,000 - 18,000 rpm. The two ends of that range suit different work. A spindle that stops at 5,000 rpm is normally picked for low-speed cutting in steel and cast iron, and one that reaches 18,000 rpm for small tools and light alloys. The tool interface follows the same logic, with HSK63, SK40, BT40 and BBT40 all listed. Spinner's page gives no power or torque for any of the spindles, so the first thing to request is the data sheet of each spindle under consideration.
The magazine holds 32 - 60 tools, and 600 mm of Z leaves room for tall fixtures or long tools. Two automation systems are listed, Robobox and Robobox Xtreme, along with controls from Siemens, Fanuc and Heidenhain. The smaller VC750 has 760 mm of X, 460 mm of Y and Z, a single 12,000 rpm spindle and 24 - 32 tools.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,150 x 620 x 600 mm of X, Y and Z travel
- Spindle options from 5,000 to 18,000 rpm
- Four tool interfaces are listed: HSK63, SK40, BT40 and BBT40
- Magazine options from 32 to 60 tools
- Robobox and Robobox Xtreme automation, and controls from Siemens, Fanuc and Heidenhain
Limitations
- The 18,000 rpm figure is the top of an option range that starts at 5,000 rpm, so the speed depends entirely on the spindle ordered
- Y travel of 620 mm is a little over half the 1,150 mm of X, so wide plates need a second setup
- No spindle power, torque, table size or table load is stated on Spinner's page for the VC 1150

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,150 mm in X, 620 mm in Y and 600 mm in Z. Table size and table load are not stated on Spinner's page, so ask for both when checking whether a large or heavy part can be carried as well as reached.
02
The table gives a range of 5,000 - 18,000 rpm, which covers several spindles. It does not list the individual spindles, their power or their torque. Decide from the materials and tool sizes you run which end of the range you need, then ask Spinner for the figures of that spindle.
03
HSK63, SK40, BT40 and BBT40 are listed. The page does not say which interface goes with which spindle speed, so confirm the combination you want is offered. The magazine holds 32 - 60 tools depending on the version.
04
Robobox and Robobox Xtreme are the automation systems listed, and the controls are Siemens, Fanuc and Heidenhain. No capacities are given for either automation system, so match them to your part size and batch length with Spinner.
05
The U5-1530 is a 5-axis machine with a 650 mm rotary table and travels of 1,530 mm in X, 530 mm in Y and 465 mm in Z. The VC 1150 has less X at 1,150 mm but more Y and Z, at 620 mm and 600 mm, than the U5-1530 offers. The U5-1530 lists 32 - 122 tools and spindles from 12,000 to 20,000 rpm.
