How much does the Weingärtner mpmc 1000 S cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Weingärtner mpmc 1000 S 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 Weingärtner mpmc 1000 S opens the middle group of the mpmc range. Its swing over bed and slide is 1,000 mm (39.4 in), less than the 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of the mpmc 1200 L, yet it is the heavier machine of the two: 8,000 / 16,000 kg (17,637 / 35,273 lb) between chuck and tailstock, and an A15 or A20 spindle nose to DIN 55026.
The step up shows in the vertical slide. X travel is listed as 1,100 / 1,250 / 1,500 mm (43.3 / 49.2 / 59.1 in), with 100 mm (3.9 in) below the workpiece center. The longer slide is slower. X and Y rapid at 25 m/min (984 ipm), where the mpmc 900 L/S runs 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). Z stays at 40 m/min (1,575 ipm).
Y is printed as -325 / +325 (+625) mm, an even split with a bracketed extra that the table leaves unexplained. The swivel axis covers ±110° and the tool interface is C6, C8 or HSK100, the same choice as on the smaller models.
Behind those figures sits a headstock that Weingärtner drives with two AC main spindle motors and an automatic switching gearbox, a twin-drive layout used for turning and for milling. Power and torque are not in the table, though, and neither is the turning length. At 16,000 kg the mpmc 1000 S moves from screw work toward the heavier shafts the maker lists for the series, such as turbine shafts and crankshafts. SINUMERIK ONE controls it.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X travel of up to 1,500 mm (59.1 in), with 100 mm (3.9 in) below the workpiece center
- Weight classes of 8,000 and 16,000 kg (17,637 and 35,273 lb) between chuck and tailstock
- A15 or A20 spindle nose to DIN 55026
- Z rapid of 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on a rack-and-pinion drive with master-slave motors
- Twin-drive headstock: two AC main spindle motors with an automatic switching gearbox
Limitations
- X and Y rapid at 25 m/min (984 ipm), down from 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on the mpmc 900 L/S
- Swing is 1,000 mm (39.4 in); the mpmc 1300 L/S has the same X travels with 1,300 mm (51.2 in)
- Spindle power, torque and speed are missing from the maker's table
- No third weight class: the mpmc 1300 L/S goes on to 30,000 kg (66,138 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Swing does not set the rating in this range. The mpmc 1200 L has the larger swing, 1,200 mm (47.2 in), but is listed at 3,000 / 8,000 kg (6,614 / 17,637 lb) with an A11 or A15 nose. This model swings 1,000 mm (39.4 in) and is listed at 8,000 / 16,000 kg (17,637 / 35,273 lb) with A15 or A20, plus the longer X slide.
02
X, the vertical slide, is listed with three totals: 1,100, 1,250 or 1,500 mm (43.3, 49.2 or 59.1 in), of which 100 mm (3.9 in) is below the workpiece center. Y, the horizontal slide, reads -325 / +325 (+625) mm. No Z travel is printed, because bed length follows the customer's workpiece.
03
Rapid feed is 25 m/min (984 ipm) on X and on Y, and 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on Z. Weingärtner drives Z through a rack and pinion with a master-slave system in place of a ball screw, and uses the same master-slave principle on the B and C axes for positioning accuracy.
04
Weingärtner describes an integrated counter-spindle system for the mpmc that allows complete machining in a single setup, and a steady rest with CNC-controlled support movements for heavy workpieces, which takes either support rollers or hydrostatic pads. The table for this model does not show which of these a given machine includes, so confirm it in the offer.
