How much does the Weingärtner mpmc 900 L/S cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Weingärtner mpmc 900 L/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
Two weight classes and two spindle noses separate the Weingärtner mpmc 900 L/S from the smallest model of the range. With 900 mm (35.4 in) of swing over bed and slide, it is listed at 3,000 / 8,000 kg (6,614 / 17,637 lb) between chuck and tailstock, with an A11 or A15 nose to DIN 55026.
Its X figures match those of the mpmc 700 S and the mpmc 1200 L: 900 / 1,000 / 1,150 mm (35.4 / 39.4 / 45.3 in) of vertical travel, 50 mm (2.0 in) of it below center, at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). What grows with the swing is Y. The horizontal slide is printed as -275 / +275 (+475) mm, against -175 / +175 (+375) mm on the mpmc 700 S.
Milling is done by a tool spindle on a B axis that swivels ±110° and takes C6, C8 or HSK100 tooling. Weingärtner clamps the B axis hydromechanically instead of indexing it on a Hirth joint, so the head locks at any angle, and quotes a positioning accuracy of ±3 arc seconds from a direct measuring system. Further heads wait in a pick-up station and are swapped automatically. The maker names HSC milling, bottle boring, trochoidal milling, slot milling and grinding.
Which weight class goes with which nose is a matter of configuration that the table does not break down. Neither spindle power nor turning length is printed, since lengths are tailored to the customer. Z rapid is 40 m/min (1,575 ipm). SINUMERIK ONE is the control.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed in two weight classes, 3,000 and 8,000 kg (6,614 and 17,637 lb) between chuck and tailstock
- Spindle nose is A11 or A15 to DIN 55026
- Rapid traverse of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Y, with 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on Z
- Machining heads are exchanged automatically from a pick-up station
- The Y row, -275 / +275 (+475) mm, is wider than that of the mpmc 700 S
Limitations
- X travel stops at 1,150 mm (45.3 in), while the mpmc 1000 S lists up to 1,500 mm (59.1 in)
- 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) is the ceiling here; the mpmc 1000 S starts there and goes on to 16,000 kg (35,273 lb)
- No spindle power, torque or speed appears in the maker's table
- The table does not say which weight class is paired with which spindle nose

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Weingärtner lists two figures, 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) and 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). The table does not say what distinguishes the two, and it carries a note that special sizes and weights are available on request. Hydraulically actuated power chucks clamp the work, and a steady rest with CNC-controlled support movements is offered for heavy workpieces.
02
The two share the weight classes, the A11 or A15 nose, the X travels and the rapid rates. The mpmc 1200 L swings 1,200 mm (47.2 in) where this model swings 900 mm (35.4 in). The Y rows differ in shape: the mpmc 1200 L is printed as -425 / +275 mm, an uneven split, and this model as -275 / +275 (+475) mm.
03
The standard tool spindle uses a C6, C8 or HSK100 interface on a B axis with ±110° of swivel. Beyond that, Weingärtner stores several machining heads in a dedicated pick-up station and changes them with a quick-clamping system. HSC milling, bottle boring, trochoidal milling, slot milling and grinding are the processes it names for them.
04
Four things the table leaves open: the turning length, since lengths are tailored to the order; spindle power, torque and speed; which of the three X travels the machine gets; and what the bracketed +475 in the Y row means. The control, SINUMERIK ONE, is fixed for the whole range.
