Q: How much does the Tajmac-ZPS MCV1260i cost?

The price estimate for the Tajmac-ZPS MCV1260i is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/tajmac-mcv1260i#price; the request is passed to Tajmac-ZPS or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Tajmac-ZPS MCV1260i 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

The MCV1260i is a three-axis vertical machining centre of C-frame layout with travels of 1,300 x 640 x 800 mm (51.2 x 25.2 x 31.5 in) and a 1,500 × 620 mm table rated for 1,350 kg. Tajmac-ZPS sells it under the ZPS name and offers it with six spindle units, so the same casting can be a heavy 50-taper roughing machine or an 18,000 rpm finishing machine.

Choosing the spindle is the main decision. With a planetary gearbox there are three units: ISO 40 or HSK-A80 at 10,000 rpm with 244 / 342 Nm, ISO 50 at 6,000 rpm with 519 / 779 Nm, and ISO 50 at 8,000 rpm with 306 / 458 Nm. A belt-driven ISO 40 unit reaches 12,000 rpm on 95 / 143 Nm. Two electrospindles, ISO 40 at 15,000 rpm and HSK-A63 at 18,000 rpm, both give 25 / 31 kW and 160 / 200 Nm. The maker adds that more variants are available on inquiry.

The structure is two stationary castings, base and column, with linear rails with rollers on all axes and direct position measurement by linear absolute rulers. Rapid traverse and maximal working feed are both 40 m/min, with 5 m/s2 of acceleration. Listed accuracy to ISO 230-2 is a bidirectional positioning error of 0.008 mm and a repeatability of 0.0034 mm. Electronic compensation of thermal dilatations is a standard accessory.

Tool capacity follows the taper: 30 tools for the 40-size tapers and 24 for the 50-size, with a second magazine as an option that doubles each. An automatic pallet changer is optional too. It swaps 1,320 × 620 mm pallets carrying 900 kg in 15 s, depending on the application, and reduces Z travel to 775 mm.

In its basic version the machine has chip buckets; a steel-belt chip conveyor is the upgrade for higher chip volumes. Controls offered are Heidenhain, Sinumerik and Fanuc. The floor plan without chip conveyor is 3,200 × 2,120 mm and the weight 8,300 kg.
