Vision Wide SE-1612

Q: How much does the Vision Wide SE-1612 cost?

The price estimate for the Vision Wide SE-1612 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-se-1612#price; the request is passed to Vision Wide or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The Vision Wide SE-1612 is the smallest of the SE high-speed double-column machining centers, a portal machine with 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X travel, 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Y and a 15,000 rpm spindle as its standard build.

Speed is the point of the series. Vision Wide says the SE was released in 2017 for mold processing, aluminum alloy machining and mass removal machining, and the standard spindle is a direct driven 15,000 rpm unit with a BBT-40 taper. Cutting feed runs from 1-24,000 mm/min. Rapid traverse is 24 m/min, with 30 m/min offered as an option.

For a machine of this footprint the table is strong. It measures 1,800x1,100 mm (70.9x43.3 in) and carries 8,000 kg (17,637 lb), so a steel mold base that fills it is within the rating. The table is longer than the X travel, which leaves clamping room at the ends.

A 40-taper spindle on 15/ 18.5 kW (20.1/ 24.8 hp) is a finishing and light-roughing tool, though. Buyers who want to hog steel should look at the #50 spindle options before ordering, and those who need more room across the table should compare the SE-1618, which has 1,800 mm (70.9 in) of Y on the same X stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle is standard on the Vision Wide SE-1612?

A direct driven spindle at 15,000 rpm with a BBT-40 taper, according to the standard accessory list. The specification table gives spindle power as 15/ 18.5 kW (20.1/ 24.8 hp), continuous and short-time.

02 How big is the SE-1612 work area?

X travel is 1,600 mm (63.0 in) and Y travel is 1,200 mm (47.2 in). Z travel is 800 mm, or 1,000 mm as an option. The table measures 1,800x1,100 mm (70.9x43.3 in).

03 How fast are the SE-1612 feeds?

Cutting feed is listed as 1-24,000 mm/min. Rapid traverse is given as 24/30 m/min (Opt.), which means 24 m/min on the standard machine and 30 m/min when the option is ordered.

04 Which controls are available for the SE-1612?

The Fanuc 0iMF PLUS controller is standard. The option list names the FANUC 31iB Controller and the HEIDENHAIN TNC 620/640 Controller, and some spindle options are tied to one control or the other.
