Q: How much does the Vision Wide HF-5035 / HF-5042 cost?

The price estimate for the Vision Wide HF-5035 / HF-5042 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/vision-wide-hf-5035-hf-5042#price; the request is passed to Vision Wide or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Vision Wide HF-5035 / HF-5042 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

Tool center point compensation is the feature that makes the Vision Wide HF-5035 / HF-5042 practical as an automatic five-face machine. Without it, every attachment head would need its own set of offsets, measured and entered each time a head is changed.

Vision Wide names three developments for the HF: tool center point compensation, an auto multi-angle head attachment, and an auto tool change system. Together they let one program move between the vertical spindle, a 90º head and angled positions while the control keeps track of where the tool tip is. The feature list adds an AC 3-axis mechanical coordinates system.

The machine under those functions is large. X travel is 5,100 mm (200.8 in). Y travel is 3,500 mm (137.8 in) on the HF-5035 and 4,200 mm (165.4 in) on the HF-5042. The table measures 5,000×3,000 mm (196.9×118.1 in) and carries 24,000 kg (52,910 lb).

A part that needs this machine is typically a gearbox case, a press frame or a large mold base with features on all sides. Rapid traverse in X/Y is 10 m/min, cutting feed 1-7,000 mm/min, and the spindle motor 22/26 kW (29.5/34.9 hp).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does tool center point compensation do on the Vision Wide HF-5035?

Vision Wide says it developed tool center point compensation, auto multi-angle head attachment and an auto tool change system to complete auto 5-face machining. In general terms it lets the control account for the head's geometry so the tool tip stays where the program expects.

02 What are the travels of the HF-5035 / HF-5042?

X travel is 5,100 mm (200.8 in). Y travel is 3,500/ 4,200 mm (137.8/ 165.4 in) for the HF-5035 and HF-5042. Z is 920 mm on the standard box way head, with longer strokes optional.

03 How much does the HF-5035 table carry?

24,000 kg (52,910 lb) on a 5,000×3,000 mm (196.9×118.1 in) table. The four-metre HF-4035 carries 20,000 kg (44,092 lb).

04 What control does the HF-5035 use?

The FANUC 0iMF PLUS controller is on the standard accessory list for the HF series. Ask Vision Wide which optional controls are offered with the five-face functions.
