Willemin-Macodel 808S2

Q: How much does the Willemin-Macodel 808S2 cost?

The price estimate for the Willemin-Macodel 808S2 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/willemin-macodel-808s2#price; the request is passed to Willemin-Macodel or an authorised dealer.

Q: What are the travels and speeds of the 808S2?

X is 370 mm, Y is 120 mm and Z is 210 mm, driven by linear motors at up to 60 m/min. Continuous feed forces are 720 N in X, 720 N in Y and 480 N in Z, and the linear axes resolve 0.0125 µm.

Q: How does the 808S2 turn parts?

Through its C-axis divider, which is driven by a torque motor and reaches 6,000 min-1. The table gives 8 Nm of continuous torque from 0 to 3,000 min-1 and a power of 2.5 kW, so turning on this machine means light cuts on small diameters.

Q: What tools fit the 808S2 magazine?

HSK-A25 tools up to Ø35 mm in diameter, or Ø70 mm when the adjacent places are left free, weighing up to 1 kg each. There are 74 tool positions, with 137 as the bracketed alternative, and chip-to-chip change takes under 5 sec.

Q: How is the 808S2 different from the 808MT2?

The 808MT2 is the bar version: it has a horizontal A axis with a Ø27 mm bar passage turning at 10,000 rpm, and 250 mm of X. The 808S2 has 370 mm of X and holds parts on a C-axis divider that reaches 6,000 min-1. Both have 120 mm of Y, 210 mm of Z and the same HSK-A25 spindle interface.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Willemin-Macodel 808S2 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 Willemin-Macodel 808S2 packs linear motors and direct-drive rotary axes into a cabinet 980 mm wide. It is a 5-axis machining center for complex, high-precision parts up to 120 mm in diameter, with 370 mm of X, 120 mm of Y and 210 mm of Z at 60 m/min.

Unlike most of the maker's pages, this one publishes motor data. Continuous feed forces are 720 N in X and Y and 480 N in Z. The B axis delivers 24 Nm of continuous torque across -90° to +120°. The C-axis divider gives 8 Nm from 0 to 3,000 min-1 with 2.5 kW, and its top speed of 6,000 min-1 is what makes turning possible on the same fixture.

The milling spindle is small and fast: HSK-A25, 8.3 kW, 3 Nm of S1 torque held from 0 to 27,000 min-1, and 42,000 min-1 as standard with 60,000 min-1 in brackets. Tooling has to match. The magazine accepts Ø35 mm tools, Ø70 mm when the adjacent places are free, and 1 kg per tool. It has 74 tool positions, or 137 as the bracketed figure, and the maker describes it as a combined tool, part and pallet magazine. Chip-to-chip time is under 5 sec.

Services are specified in the table as well: a 50 L chip bin with 200 µm filtration, an 80 L oil pan, 40 L/min of coolant flow and programmable high pressure from 0 to 80 bar at 4 L/min. Floor area is 1.4 m². The page names no numerical control.

Y travel is 120 mm, a third of the 370 mm X travel
Spindle S1 torque is 3 Nm, which rules out heavy roughing
No numerical control is named on the maker's page
