How much does the Vision Wide FA-5033 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Vision Wide FA-5033 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
Heat is the enemy of a five-metre five-axis machine, and the Vision Wide FA-5033 is sold with figures on the subject. Vision Wide says the FA is not affected by spindle thermal variation and environment temperature change, with thermal elongation less than 0.02mm, and that spindle vibration stays lower than 1 mm/sec.
Consider what those claims are set against. X travel is 5,100 mm (200.8 in) and Y is 3,300 mm (129.9 in). The published positioning accuracy is ±0.010 mm (±0.0004 in) over full travel. A tool that grew by even a few hundredths of a millimetre during a shift would use up that tolerance by itself, so limiting thermal elongation is what makes the accuracy figure usable in practice. Linear scales on X, Y and Z, standard on the FA, take ballscrew growth out of the result as well.
The table is 5,000×2,450 mm (196.9×96.5 in) and takes 20,000 kg (44,092 lb). The spindle is the 12,000 rpm HSK-A100 type with 34 / 43 kW (45.6 / 57.7 hp).
Speed falls with length. X rapid is 12.5 m/min, Y and Z 15 m/min. Vision Wide describes the series, released in 2014, as its first bridge type 5-axis double column machining center.
