How much does the Starrag SIP 5000 cost?
Estimated price range
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 SIP 5000 is a 5-axis precision machining center whose listed figures centre on accuracy: positioning to 0.002 mm (0.00008 in) and repeatability of 0.001 mm (0.00004 in). Travels are 700 mm (27.6 in) in X, 530 mm (20.9 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z over a 630 x 500 mm (24.8 x 19.7 in) table. Starrag's current pages do not carry this model, so the figures below are the listed ones and have no manufacturer page to confirm them.
Two rows explain how numbers like that are reached. The bed is natural granite, and all linear axes run on hydrostatic guideways. Granite reacts slowly to temperature change. A hydrostatic guideway carries the slide on an oil film, so nothing sticks and slips when an axis reverses over a very small distance. The trade is mass: 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) of machine for a 500 kg (1,102 lb) workpiece.
The fourth and fifth axes are an A axis tilting from +30° to -120° and a C axis with 360° continuous rotation, so the sides of a housing and its angled bores can be reached in one clamping. The spindle runs to 20,000 RPM on an HSK-A63 taper with 28 kW (37.5 hp); no torque figure is listed. The magazine holds 40 tools as standard and up to 120 as an option. The control is a Heidenhain TNC 640.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed positioning accuracy of 0.002 mm (0.00008 in) with repeatability of 0.001 mm (0.00004 in)
- Hydrostatic guideways on all linear axes over a natural granite bed
- A axis tilting from +30° to -120° with a 360° continuous C axis
- 20,000 RPM spindle on an HSK-A63 taper with 28 kW (37.5 hp)
- 40 tools as standard, up to 120 optional
Limitations
- Workpiece weight is limited to 500 kg (1,102 lb) on a 630 x 500 mm (24.8 x 19.7 in) table
- The machine weighs 14,000 kg (30,865 lb), so floor loading and rigging need checking
- No spindle torque or rapid traverse is listed, and the model is not on Starrag's current product pages

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed positioning accuracy is 0.002 mm (0.00008 in) and the repeatability 0.001 mm (0.00004 in). The machine has a natural granite bed and hydrostatic guideways on all linear axes. No current Starrag page confirms the figures, so ask for the measurement record of the individual machine.
02
700 mm (27.6 in) in X, 530 mm (20.9 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z. The table is 630 x 500 mm (24.8 x 19.7 in) and the maximum workpiece weight is 500 kg (1,102 lb).
03
An A axis that tilts from +30° to -120° and a C axis with 360° continuous rotation. Together with the three hydrostatic linear axes they make it a 5-axis machine.
04
A 20,000 RPM spindle with an HSK-A63 taper and 28 kW (37.5 hp), with no torque figure given. The magazine holds 40 tools as standard, with up to 120 optional. The control is a Heidenhain TNC 640.
