Power, Air and Footprint Reference: 10 Benchmark Machines

By Michael Davis · Published November 2026

Last verified November 9, 2026 against the manufacturer documents listed below.

Answer: Before a machine arrives, your shop needs three numbers from the builder: electrical supply, compressed air, and floor space with weight. This page collects those figures for 10 widely used models, taken only from each manufacturer's own published spec sheet or catalog, and links each machine's MBB reference page. Where the builder does not publish a figure, the cell says so.

How did we build this table?

Every cell comes from a document published by the machine's manufacturer, fetched on November 9, 2026, and cited by number in the Sources section. We copied values exactly as the builder printed them, in the builder's own units and wording. We did not convert units, average options, or fill gaps from dealer listings, forums, or memory.

Three rules shaped the result:

  1. "Not published" means the manufacturer document we could retrieve does not state it. It does not mean the figure does not exist. The builder's installation manual or pre-installation drawing for your exact configuration will have it.
  2. Footprint labels differ by builder. Brother states floor space "with control unit door open." Hurco states "Max. Operating Floor Space." Okuma states "Floor space length x width." Citizen and Star state overall dimensions. Read the label in the notes before you plan a layout.
  3. Options change the numbers. FANUC's ROBODRILL catalog, for example, states that center-through coolant and a tool-taper cleaning unit each require "additional + 1kVA," and that center-through coolant needs "additional + 0.05m3/min" of air [3b]. Treat every figure here as the base configuration.

Haas machines are not in this table. Haas pre-installation figures already appear in the Site & utilities block on Haas model pages, for example the Haas VF-2. DMG MORI's NLX 2500 technical data sat behind an account registration, so it was left out.

Machines without a link do not yet have an MBB reference page for that exact designation (Brother S700X2 and M140X2, FANUC ROBODRILL α-D21MiB, Hurco VM10i and TM10i).

Notes by machine

What should I ask before a machine ships?

Ask the builder or dealer for the installation manual or pre-installation drawing for the exact serial number and option list, then confirm:

Our buying guide pages on electrical power readiness, footprint, layout and access and air, coolant and mist utilities cover each of these in more depth.

What should I ask an electrician about a phase converter?

Some small shops have only single-phase service, and where the builders on this list state phase at all (FANUC [3a] and Brother's current Xd2 series [1b]), they state three-phase. A phase converter is one way to bridge that gap, but it is an electrical installation question, not a buying decision, so the answer belongs to a licensed electrician who has the machine's documentation.

In the United States, phase converters fall under Article 455 of the National Electrical Code. EC&M's summary of the 2023 NEC article [11] describes requirements that are worth knowing so you can follow the electrician's reasoning:

Questions to bring to the electrician:

  1. Here is the builder's stated voltage, phase, tolerance and kVA. Can the proposed converter hold that tolerance on all three legs while the spindle accelerates and the coolant pump runs?
  2. Is a rotary, static, or digital converter appropriate for a CNC load, and why?
  3. Does the builder's documentation say anything about converters, voltage imbalance, or transformers? If not, will you ask the builder's service department?
  4. Which leg will be the manufactured phase, and how will it be marked?
  5. What will be measured at commissioning to prove the supply is within the builder's tolerance?

We do not publish converter sizing figures. Sizing depends on the converter maker's guidance, the code edition your jurisdiction has adopted, and the machine's real load, all of which your electrician should confirm. See also three-phase power.

FAQ

Why do some cells say "not published"? Because the manufacturer document we could retrieve did not state that figure. We would rather leave a blank than print a guess. The full installation manual usually has it.

Can I use the motor horsepower to size my electrical service? No. Spindle motor output is one load among several. Use the builder's supply figure in kVA or amps for your configuration.

Is the footprint the space I need on the floor? Often not. Check what the builder's label includes, and add room for doors, maintenance access and peripherals. Okuma, for example, publishes a larger "actual required footprint" for the M560-V than its machine size.

Why are there no Haas machines on this list? Haas pre-installation figures are already published on our Haas model pages, in the Site & utilities block, so this table covers other builders.
