How much does the Tajmac-ZPS MCG1000i cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Tajmac-ZPS MCG1000i that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Unlike the smaller ZPS gantries, the MCG1000i is a five-axis machine as delivered. A rotary-tilting table with torque motors is part of the standard equipment, giving a C axis of 360° and a B axis that tilts from -120° to +30°, under a gantry with 1,200 x 1,000 x 700 mm (47.2 x 39.4 x 27.6 in) of linear travel. Fit an HSK-T100 spindle and it also turns.
The standard table is Ø 800 mm and takes 1,300 kg for milling or 700 kg for turning when level, and 700 kg tilted to ±90°. A Ø 1,000 mm table is optional; it carries slightly less, 1,100 kg for milling. Either way the workpiece envelope is Ø 1,000 × 550 mm. The asymmetric tilt range is worth understanding: 120° one way lets the spindle reach past horizontal for undercuts, while 30° the other way is enough for draft angles and tool clearance.
Turning is the reason for the torque-motor C axis. It delivers 1,580 / 2,080 Nm and spins at up to 1,200 rpm on the Ø 800 mm table, or 800 rpm on the Ø 1,000 mm table. The maker is explicit that turning operations can only be performed with the HSK-T100 spindles, of which there are two: 12,000 rpm with 25 / 30 kW and 119 / 143 Nm, or 10,000 rpm with 48 / 71 kW and 300 / 452 Nm. The standard spindle is the 18,000 rpm HSK-A63 electrospindle, a milling unit.
Linear axes are the fastest in the ZPS gantry family at 60 m/min, with 5 m/s2 of acceleration and a HEIDENHAIN LC115 direct measuring system. Rotary positioning error is 12 arc sec on B and 6 arc sec on C.
The tool changer holds 50 tools in HSK63 or 30 in HSK100 and changes in 2.3 s. An automatic pallet changer with 630 × 630 mm pallets is described for 2, 3 or 4 pallets. The machine weighs 23,000 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes, with the right spindle. The C axis is a rotary table with a built-in torque motor that enables turning operations, at up to 1,200 rpm on the Ø 800 mm table. The maker states that turning operations can only be performed with the HSK-T100 spindles; the standard equipment is an HSK-A63 electrospindle with a maximal speed of 18,000 rpm.
02
The standard rotary-tilting table is Ø 800 mm: 1,300 kg for milling and 700 kg for turning at α=±0°, and 700 kg at α=±90°. The optional Ø 1,000 mm table takes 1,100 kg for milling, 700 kg for turning and 600 kg at α=±90°. Maximum workpiece is Ø 1,000 × 550 mm on both.
03
For milling: HSK-A63 at 18,000 rpm with 25 / 31 kW and 160 / 200 Nm, and HSK-A100 at 14,000 rpm with 25 / 37 kW and 160 / 236 Nm. For milling and turning: HSK-T100 at 12,000 rpm with 25 / 30 kW, and HSK-T100 at 10,000 rpm with 48 / 71 kW and 300 / 452 Nm.
04
An automatic pallet change system with a setting-up station and the machine (2 pallets), or with one or two storage stations added (3 or 4 pallets). Pallets are 630 × 630 mm, the workpiece on a pallet is limited to Ø 1,000 × 400 mm and 400 kg, and pallet to pallet transfer time is 25 s.
05
The standard equipment list names a Sinumerik, Heidenhain or FANUC control system. Position feedback in all axes comes from a Heidenhain direct measuring system, with electronic compensation of thermal dilatations and spindle thermal stabilization also standard.
