How much does the Tajmac-ZPS MCG2318i cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Tajmac-ZPS MCG2318i 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
Configured to order from three to six axes, the MCG2318i is a large upper-gantry machining centre with 2,300 mm (90.6 in) of X travel on the cross rail and 1,050 mm of Z on the ram. Y is 1,400 mm, or 1,500 mm on the 3-axis model. What sits under the gantry and what hangs from the ram are both chosen by the buyer.
Start with the table. A fixed table offers a 2,520 × 1,600 mm clamping surface rated at 15,000 kg/m2. A rotary table of Ø 1,800 mm carries 10,000 kg up to 50 rpm and 5,000 kg above that, runs at 250 rpm in spindle mode for turning, and produces 6,640 / 8,840 Nm. The third choice, a combined table, sets a Ø 1,500 mm rotary part into the fixed surface so that long prismatic parts and round turned parts share one machine.
Then the head. As a 3- or 4-axis machine without exchange heads, the ram holds a fixed electrospindle; the standard unit has an HSK-A100 taper, and the list runs from HSK-A63 at 18,000 rpm to an HSK-T100 turning spindle at 10,000 rpm with 48 / 71 kW and 300 / 452 Nm. As a 5- or 6-axis machine it carries a CyTec M21 exchange head, tilting ±110° on B and rotating ±270° on C. Head spindles are lighter at the top end, 21 / 27 kW for the 18,000 rpm HSK-A63 unit, but an HSK-A100 head unit with 42 / 53 kW and 200 / 250 Nm at 12,000 rpm is available.
The cross slide runs inside the cross rail, a box-in-box design, and the frame is described as fully symmetrical. Axes move at 50 m/min with 5 m/s2. Positioning error to ISO 230-2 is 0.009 mm with 0.004 mm repeatability, on HEIDENHAIN LC115 scales.
The tool changer holds 50 tools, 128 as an option, and has 5 positions for tools 615 mm long. Shipping weight is 32,000 kg without tool changer and accessories, and the machine is anchored to a concrete foundation.
