Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Starrag. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Starrag Ecospeed F 1540 is a 5-axis machining center for aluminum structural components, with a 4,000 x 1,500 mm (157.5 x 59.1 in) table, a 120 kW spindle and the Sprint Z3 parallel kinematic head. It is a single-purpose machine: everything in the table is arranged around removing aluminum quickly from long, flat parts.

The Sprint Z3 head is what sets it apart from a conventional fork-head machine. A parallel kinematic head tilts the spindle by moving several drives together instead of stacking two rotary axes, which keeps the moving mass low and lets the head change angle quickly. The listed angular range is ±45°. That is ample for the pocket walls, flanges and chamfers of structural parts, but it is not enough to bring the spindle horizontal, so features on the side faces of a part beyond that angle need another setup.

Spindle power is listed as 120 kW of real sustained power, on either an HSK-A63 or an HSK-A80 interface. A power figure that high on tapers of that size only makes sense at high spindle speeds in aluminum; this is not a torque machine for steel or titanium. Starrag's table gives no spindle speed or torque, so ask for the spindle curve.

Workpiece weight is limited to 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), which is light for a table of this area and again fits aluminum plate. Tools are held in a WERO rack-type magazine with 129 or 300 pockets, and tool length is limited to 250 mm, which caps the depth of pocket that can be reached.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

120 kW spindle, listed as real sustained power
Sprint Z3 parallel kinematic head with ±45° angular range for fast 5-axis simultaneous motion
4,000 x 1,500 mm (157.5 x 59.1 in) table for long structural parts
WERO rack-type tool magazine with 129 or 300 pockets
Choice of HSK-A63 or HSK-A80 spindle interface

Limitations

Head angular range is ±45°, so the spindle cannot be brought horizontal for side-face work
Maximum workpiece weight is 3,000 kg (6,614 lb)
Maximum tool length is 250 mm, which limits pocket depth and reach
Listed for aluminum structural components; the table gives no torque figure to judge harder materials

Best For

Aluminum structural components up to 4,000 x 1,500 mm (157.5 x 59.1 in) High-volume pocketing where 120 kW of sustained power can be used Parts with angled walls and flanges within ±45° of the spindle axis Plate workpieces under 3,000 kg (6,614 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the Sprint Z3 head on the Ecospeed F 1540?

It is the machining head Starrag lists for this model, described as parallel kinematic, with an angular range of ±45°. The head provides the tilting motions of the machine's 5-axis simultaneous capability. The table does not give its speed or acceleration.

02 How large a part fits on the Ecospeed F 1540?

The table is 4,000 x 1,500 mm (157.5 x 59.1 in) and the maximum workpiece weight is 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). Axis travels are not listed separately, so confirm the area the tool can reach with the head tilted to ±45°.

03 How much spindle power does the Ecospeed F 1540 have?

120 kW, which Starrag describes as real sustained power. The spindle interface is HSK-A63 or HSK-A80. Spindle speed and torque are not in the published table.

04 What tool magazine does the Ecospeed F 1540 use?

A WERO rack-type magazine with either 129 or 300 pockets. The maximum tool length is 250 mm. Which pocket count is supplied is a configuration choice, so specify it when requesting a quotation.

05 What materials is the Ecospeed F 1540 intended for?

Starrag lists the primary material as aluminum structural components. The specification is consistent with that: 120 kW of sustained spindle power, a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) workpiece limit and no published torque figure.
