Q: How much does the Vision Wide MSE-1618 cost?

The price estimate for the Vision Wide MSE-1618 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-mse-1618#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 MSE-1618 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 MSE-1618 has a table close to square, 1,800x1,600 mm (70.9x63.0 in), under 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X and 1,800 mm (70.9 in) of Y travel. It carries 8,000 kg (17,637 lb).

Spindle options on this series are sorted by control, and the built-in spindles show the split most clearly. With the FANUC control: 12,000 rpm on #50 / HSK-A100, or 20,000 / 24,000 / 28,000 rpm on #40 / HSK-A63. With the HEIDENHAIN control: 15,000 rpm on #50 / HSK-A100, or 18,000 / 20,000 / 24,000 / 28,000 rpm on #40 / HSK-A63. So a HEIDENHAIN machine gains a faster large-taper spindle and an extra step in the small-taper range.

A built-in spindle has its motor inside the spindle cartridge, with no coupling or belt. It runs smoother at high speed than a direct driven unit, which is the reason to choose one for fine surface work, and it is why this choice comes up on a machine sold for mold finishing.

The standard build is simpler: a Fanuc 0iMF PLUS controller and a direct driven 15,000 rpm BBT-40 spindle with 15/ 18.5 kW (20.1/ 24.8 hp). Feed is 1-24,000 mm/min. No magazine is listed.
