How much does the Victor Taichung Vcenter-AX380 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vcenter-AX380 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 Victor Taichung Vcenter-AX380 is a trunnion-table 5-axis machining center for small parts. The table is Ø380 mm (Ø14.96 in) and carries 200 kg (440.92 lb); it tilts on the A axis from -120 to 30 deg and rotates through 0 ~ 360 deg on C. Linear travels are 700 mm (27.55 in), 500 mm (19.68 in) and 540 mm (21.25 in).
The rotary drive is the feature Victor Taichung stresses. Both rotary axes use a roller-cam mechanism with no backlash, which the maker says turns faster and positions better than a worm gear and clamps more rigidly than a direct-drive motor. The stated benefit is heavy cutting in 4+1 mode, with the table locked at an angle.
That phrase is worth reading closely. Simultaneous 5-axis control is on the option list, by a Heidenhain, Siemens or Fanuc control named there. A buyer who needs full contouring, not just positioned five-sided work, has to order it.
The spindle is a 12,000 rpm BBT-40 with 30 tools. Motor power is 11 / 15 / 18.5 kW (15 / 20 / 25 HP) without coolant through the spindle and 7.5 / 11 / 15 kW (10 / 15 / 20 HP) with it. Weight is 6,000 kg (13,227.71 lb). The table has a 12H7 locating feature in place of a T-slot grid, and four hydraulic or pneumatic ports on the table are an option for fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The A axis tilts from -120 to 30 deg and the C axis rotates 0 ~ 360 deg. Both are driven by a roller-cam mechanism that Victor Taichung describes as non-backlash.
02
Simultaneous 5-axis control is listed as an option, with Heidenhain 640, Siemens 840D or Fanuc 31i-B5 Plus controls. Without it the machine works in 4+1 axis mode, positioning the table and then cutting.
03
The table is Ø380 mm (Ø14.96 in) and takes 200 kg (440.92 lb). Linear travels are 700 mm (27.55 in) in X, 500 mm (19.68 in) in Y and 540 mm (21.25 in) in Z.
04
11 / 15 / 18.5 kW (15 / 20 / 25 HP) in the Non CTS column and 7.5 / 11 / 15 kW (10 / 15 / 20 HP) in the CTS column, at up to 12,000 rpm on a BBT-40 taper.
