How much does the Tongtai THA-5000P cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Tongtai THA-5000P 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
With a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) table and 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z travel, the Tongtai THA-5000P is a horizontal machining center that sits above the THA-4000P in Tongtai's THA line. X and Y each travel 730 mm (28.7 in). Z is the longest axis by a clear margin, which helps with deep parts, tombstone fixtures and long tools reaching into bores. A hydraulically driven APC exchanges the work.
Table load is 500 kg (1,102 lb) as standard and 700 kg (1,543 lb) as an option. Machine weight is listed as 11,700 kg (25,794 lb), or 12,400 kg (27,337 lb) as an option; the table does not say which option adds the mass. Rapids are 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on X, Y and Z.
Spindle speed is 15,000 rpm and power is 37/26/15 kW (49.6/34.9/20.1 hp). The taper is 7/24 No. 40 as standard and No. 50 as an option. Torque is 249 Nm (184 lb-ft) for the 15,000 rpm No. 40 spindle and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) for the optional No. 50 spindle. No separate speed or power is given for the No. 50 spindle, so those need to come from Tongtai. The smaller THA-4000P differs here: it lists a 20,000 rpm option and an optional 40/30 kW (53.6/40.2 hp) rating, on a standard table of 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) with a 400 kg (882 lb) load.
Tool storage is 40 as standard, with 60, 90, 120 and 240 as options. Tools may weigh 10 kg (22 lb), or 12 kg (26 lb) as an option.
Buyers weighing this machine against five-axis work can look at the HTT-500, which has the same 500 x 500 mm table size and 500 kg load and weighs 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). The THA-5000P table lists no control and no external dimensions, so both have to be requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels are 730 mm (28.7 in) in X, 730 mm (28.7 in) in Y and 830 mm (32.7 in) in Z. The table is 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in). Standard table load is 500 kg (1,102 lb), and 700 kg (1,543 lb) is listed as an option. The table does not give a maximum workpiece diameter or height.
02
The 15,000 rpm No. 40 spindle is listed at 249 Nm (184 lb-ft). The optional No. 50 spindle is listed at 420 Nm (310 lb-ft), roughly 69% more. Power is given as 37/26/15 kW (49.6/34.9/20.1 hp), with no separate rating shown for the No. 50 version.
03
11,700 kg (25,794 lb) as standard, with 12,400 kg (27,337 lb) listed as an optional figure. Tongtai's table does not identify which option the heavier figure refers to, and it gives no width, depth or height, so ask for a foundation drawing for the exact configuration.
04
Start from the part. The THA-5000P has a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) table and a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load as standard. The THA-4000P starts at 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) and 400 kg (882 lb), and lists a 20,000 rpm spindle option that the THA-5000P table does not. Larger or heavier parts point to the THA-5000P; small light-alloy parts at high spindle speed point to the THA-4000P.
05
The HTT-500 is Tongtai's five-axis machine with the same 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) table size and a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load. The HTT-500 spindle is a built-in BBT40 type with 15,000 rpm and 249 Nm (184 lb-ft), the same torque this machine lists for its No. 40 spindle. The HTT-500 also has a 60-tool standard magazine and weighs 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), against 11,700 kg (25,794 lb) for the THA-5000P.
