How much does the Vision Wide MB-2516 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Vision Wide MB-2516 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 gear head of the Vision Wide MB-2516 is cast in one piece with the headstock, and its gears are a named grade. Vision Wide says it uses Japan-made JIS0 gears for the gear head to get high rigidity, high precision and low noise.
In a geared spindle the gearbox is the heart of the machine. It turns motor speed into torque across two ranges, and its quality decides how smoothly the spindle runs under load. Gears cut to a fine tolerance mesh quietly and transmit torque without the small speed ripple that shows as a pattern on a milled face. Casting the gear head and headstock as one keeps the shafts in line and gives the heat a single mass to spread through.
The maker adds that the Z-axis sits at the symmetrical position of the spindle motor, for smooth fine movement.
The MB-2516 has 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X travel, 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y, and a 2,500×1,300 mm (98.4×51.2 in) table rated for 9,000 kg (19,841 lb). The spindle runs 4,000 rpm in standard form, 6,000 rpm as an option. Power is 18.5/22 kW (24.8/29.5 hp). All three axes are box ways with a 15 m/min rapid.
