How much does the Starrag SIP 7000 Series cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Starrag. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Starrag SIP 7000 Series is listed as an ultra-precise horizontal machining center in two versions, the SIP 7000/7 4A with four axes and the SIP 7000/7 5A with five. The listed figures give a volumetric positioning accuracy below 3 µm over travels of 1,200 x 1,000 x 1,000 mm (47.2 x 39.4 x 39.4 in).
Accuracy is what the rest of the table is organised around. Glass scales are listed on all linear axes, and thermal compensation is listed as an active multi-sensor system; between them they address the usual sources of error over a long cycle, which are the drive screws and temperature drift in the structure. The machine weighs 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) against a maximum workpiece weight of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), so the structure is 18 times heavier than the heaviest part it carries.
The spindle is a finishing spindle. It runs to 20,000 rpm on HSK-A63 with 22 kW (30 hp), and no torque is listed, so this is not a machine for heavy stock removal and roughing is better done elsewhere. The table is 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) and the magazine holds 60 tools.
The control is listed as Heidenhain TNC 640. The table does not separate the two versions beyond the axis count, so the figures for the rotary axes of the five-axis version have to be requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed positioning accuracy is below 3 µm volumetric, that is, across the working volume and not along a single axis. Glass scales on all linear axes and an active multi-sensor thermal compensation system are listed in support of that figure.
02
The axis count. The SIP 7000/7 4A is the 4-axis version and the SIP 7000/7 5A is the 5-axis version. The listed travels, spindle and table figures are given once for the series and are not split between the two.
03
A 20,000 rpm spindle with an HSK-A63 interface and 22 kW (30 hp). Torque is not listed. The combination points to finishing and semi-finishing with small and medium tools, not to heavy roughing.
04
The table is 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) with a maximum workpiece weight of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). Travels are 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in X and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in both Y and Z.
05
The listed control is Heidenhain TNC 640. The magazine holds 60 tools and the machine weight is listed as 18,000 kg (39,683 lb).
