Vision Wide XMS-42

Q: How much does the Vision Wide XMS-42 cost?

The price estimate for the Vision Wide XMS-42 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-xms-42#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 XMS-42 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

Four Z strokes and four clearance rows make the Vision Wide XMS-42 the best documented of the maker's moving column machines for vertical space. The standard stroke is 2,000 mm (78.7 in); 1,500 mm, 1,800 mm and 2,200 mm are options.

The spindle nose to table distances are worth reading as a set. With 1,500 mm of Z it is 1,000~2,500 mm (39.4~98.4 in). With 1,800 mm, 700~2,500 mm (27.6~98.4 in). With the standard 2,000 mm, 500~2,500 mm (19.7~98.4 in). With 2,200 mm, 500~2,700 mm (19.7~106.3 in). In the first three the top stays put and the longer stroke reaches lower; only the longest one adds height.

The practical lesson is that the shorter strokes are for tall work only. A ram that cannot come below a metre above the table is no use for low parts unless they are packed up, and the standard stroke is the more flexible choice.

Y travel is 4,200 mm (165.4 in) and the maximum workpiece width 4,600 mm (181.1 in). The ram is 580x580 mm (22.8x22.8 in). A Z axis hydrostatic guideway is offered as an option. Power is 22/26 kW (29.5/34.9 hp), and the table load is 5,000 kg/m2. X travel is 8,200(+1m)~60,200 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the clearance figures for the Vision Wide XMS-42?

Spindle nose to table: 1,000~2,500 mm (39.4~98.4 in) with 1,500 mm of Z, 700~2,500 mm (27.6~98.4 in) with 1,800 mm, 500~2,500 mm (19.7~98.4 in) with the standard 2,000 mm, and 500~2,700 mm (19.7~106.3 in) with 2,200 mm.

02 Which Z stroke should I choose on the XMS-42?

The standard 2,000 mm (78.7 in) stroke brings the spindle nose to 500 mm above the table. The 1,500 mm and 1,800 mm options stop higher, so they suit tall parts only.

03 What are the Y travel and workpiece width of the XMS-42?

Y travel is 4,200 mm (165.4 in) and the maximum workpiece width is 4,600 mm (181.1 in). The ram is 580x580 mm (22.8x22.8 in).

04 Does the XMS-42 offer a hydrostatic Z axis?

A Z axis hydrostatic guideway is on the optional accessory list. An X dual linear scale and a Z axis linear scale are standard.
