How much does the Vision Wide HF-6042M cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Vision Wide HF-6042M 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 Vision Wide HF-6042M opens the HFM series, which the maker describes as designed for ultra-large workpiece machining. Its Z travel is 1,500 mm (59.1 in), with 6,100 mm (240.2 in) of X, 4,200 mm (165.4 in) of Y and a 6,000×3,000 mm (236.2×118.1 in) table rated for 28,000 kg (61,728 lb).
The head is what distinguishes it from the HF-6042, which has the same table and X and Y travels. Vision Wide says the HFM head adopts a hydrostatic transmission design that provides better rigidity, low friction and stability for large Z-axis travel machines. The crossbeam is a box-in-box structure, intended to reduce the deformation that a Z axis hung on one side of a beam would cause, and the head's centre of gravity sits on the centreline of that symmetric structure.
Spindle torque output is stated as 1,500~2,000Nm. The standard spindle is a 2-step gear type at 4,000rpm with 22/26 kW (29.5/34.9 hp), and Z axis linear scale feedback is standard.
It is also quicker across the table than the HF: the rapid traverse row reads 15/15/12 m/min, where the HF-6035 / HF-6042 lists 8 m/min for X/Y. Cutting feed is 1~7,000 mm/min.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Z travel of 1,500 mm (59.1 in)
- Stated spindle torque output of 1,500~2,000Nm
- Hydrostatic head design and box-in-box crossbeam, per the maker
- Rapid traverse of 15/15/12 m/min
- Z axis linear scale feedback is standard
Limitations
- X/Y-axis linear scale feedback is an option
- Standard spindle speed is 4,000rpm
- The accessory lists name the controller as both standard and optional, so the base control needs confirming

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The HF-6042M lists 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of Z travel and 15/15/12 m/min rapids. The HF-6035 / HF-6042 lists 920 mm of Z on its standard head and 8 m/min in X/Y. Both have a 6,000×3,000 mm (236.2×118.1 in) table for 28,000 kg (61,728 lb).
02
Vision Wide states 1,500~2,000Nm spindle torque output for the HFM series. Spindle power is 22/26 kW (29.5/34.9 hp), with 30/37 kW (40.2/49.6 hp) as an option; the page does not say which motor gives which torque.
03
According to the maker, the head adopts a hydrostatic transmission design for rigidity, low friction and stability over a long Z travel, and its centre of gravity lies on the centreline of a symmetric box-in-box crossbeam.
04
X is 6,100 mm (240.2 in), Y is 4,200 mm (165.4 in) and Z is 1,500 mm (59.1 in). Cutting feed is 1~7,000 mm/min.
