How much does the Vision Wide SM-1613 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Vision Wide SM-1613 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
Torque, not speed, is what the Vision Wide SM-1613 is built around. The smallest SM double-column machining center has a 6,000 rpm 2-step gear spindle on a 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) motor, and Vision Wide gives the torque output of the full tooth spindle as 1,163Nm for that motor.
That is a large figure for a machine with 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X travel and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Y. It points the SM-1613 at steel: mold bases, die shoes, auto parts and mechanical hardware, which are the applications the maker names. Big face mills, large drills and rigid tapping all draw on low-speed torque, and a geared spindle delivers it where a direct-drive unit of the same power cannot.
The table is 1,800×1,100 mm (70.9×43.3 in) and carries 6,000 kg (13,228 lb). Z travel is 800 mm as standard, with 1,000 mm on the option list.
Unlike some geared double-column machines, the head here runs on linear ways; the standard accessory list calls it a linear way 6,000 rpm 2-step gear type spindle. If the work later shifts toward finishing, a linear way 12,000 rpm built-in spindle and direct driven spindles of 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm are offered as options.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Stated spindle torque of 1,163Nm with the 15 / 18.5kW motor
- Linear way head with a 2-step gear spindle at 6,000 rpm
- 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Y travel over a 1,100 mm (43.3 in) wide table
- Optional 12,000 rpm built-in and 10,000 / 15,000 rpm direct driven spindles
Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Vision Wide states a torque output of full tooth spindle 1,163Nm (15 / 18.5kW). The SM-1613 is one of the three SM models listed with the 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) motor, and its spindle speed is 6,000 rpm.
02
X travel is 1,600 mm (63.0 in), Y travel is 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and Z travel is 800 / 1,000 mm (31.5 / 39.4 in). The table measures 1,800×1,100 mm (70.9×43.3 in) and carries 6,000 kg (13,228 lb).
03
They cannot be read from the maker's table: the cutting feed and rapid traverse rows of the SM page repeat spindle figures instead of feed rates. The feature list mentions a 15m / min high-speed cutting feed for the series. Ask Vision Wide for the rapid traverse.
04
Yes. The option list has a linear way 12,000 rpm built-in spindle and linear way direct driven spindles at 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm. The standard unit is the 6,000 rpm 2-step gear type.
