How much does the Weingärtner mpmc 1200 L cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Weingärtner mpmc 1200 L 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
A 1,200 mm (47.2 in) swing on the lightest ratings of the range: that is the Weingärtner mpmc 1200 L. It is listed at 3,000 / 8,000 kg (6,614 / 17,637 lb) between chuck and tailstock with an A11 or A15 spindle nose to DIN 55026, the same ratings as the mpmc 900 L/S, which swings 900 mm (35.4 in).
The horizontal slide is what sets this model apart. Its Y row reads -425 / +275 mm (-16.7 / +10.8 in). The stroke is uneven, longer on the minus side, and there is no bracketed extension of the kind the mpmc 900 L/S shows. For milling across a wide face that means more reach to one side of the spindle axis than to the other, which is worth checking against the part before settling on this model.
X is unchanged from the smaller machines. The vertical slide travels 900 / 1,000 / 1,150 mm (35.4 / 39.4 / 45.3 in), with 50 mm (2.0 in) below the workpiece center, and rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Y and 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on Z. The B axis swivels ±110° and the tool spindle accepts C6, C8 or HSK100.
So the mpmc 1200 L suits work that is large in diameter but modest in weight. Anything heavier belongs on the mpmc 1300 L/S, which swings 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and is listed up to 30,000 kg (66,138 lb). Loading large parts is eased by a soft-landing system with prismatic support pads that Weingärtner describes for the series. SINUMERIK ONE is the control, and spindle power and turning length are left to the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of swing over bed and slide, the largest among the models with 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) X and Y rapids
- Y reaches 425 mm (16.7 in) to the minus side of the spindle axis
- Keeps the 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) Z rapid of the small models
- C6, C8 or HSK100 tool interface on a ±110° B axis
- Soft-landing system with prismatic support pads for loading large workpieces
Limitations
- Weight stops at 8,000 kg (17,637 lb), although the swing is larger than that of the mpmc 1000 S, which carries 16,000 kg (35,273 lb)
- Y travel is uneven, 425 mm one way and 275 mm (10.8 in) the other
- X travel is at most 1,150 mm (45.3 in), with only 50 mm (2.0 in) below center
- Neither spindle power nor turning length is stated in the maker's table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The horizontal slide moves 425 mm (16.7 in) to the minus side of the workpiece axis and 275 mm (10.8 in) to the plus side. The smaller mpmc 900 L/S has an even split, -275 / +275 mm, with a bracketed +475. Weingärtner's table gives no reason for the uneven stroke, so check which side your off-center features fall on.
02
The table lists 3,000 and 8,000 kg (6,614 and 17,637 lb) between chuck and tailstock, and notes that special sizes and weights are available on request. For loads above that the mpmc 1300 L/S is listed at 8,000, 16,000 and 30,000 kg (17,637, 35,273 and 66,138 lb).
03
No. It keeps 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Y and 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on Z. The drop to 25 m/min (984 ipm) on X and Y comes with the longer vertical slide of the mpmc 1000 S and the mpmc 1300 L/S.
04
The tool spindle interface is C6, C8 or HSK100. Tools come from a chain magazine by way of an independent shuttle that can hand over at any Z position. Boring bars and other long or heavy tools have their own storage stations above the headstock or behind the tailstock, and how many fit depends on the machine size.
