How much does the AccuteX AL-500SA cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AccuteX AL-500SA 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
Long in X and short in Y: the AccuteX AL-500SA travels 500 mm (19.7 in) by 300 mm (11.8 in), with a 300 mm (11.8 in) Z stroke. That shape suits strip-like work such as progressive die plates and long punches, where length is needed and width is not.
The frame is shared. AccuteX lists the same footprint, 2,480 x 2,980 x 2,210 mm (97.6 x 117.3 x 87.0 in), and the same 900 L water system for this model and the AL-600SA, and the weights are close: 3,600 kg (7,937 lb) here, 3,700 kg (8,157 lb) for the AL-600SA. So the floor space is identical, and the choice between the two comes down to whether 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y is enough. The maximum workpiece is 990 x 560 x 295 mm (39.0 x 22.0 x 11.6 in) at 500 kg (1,102 lb).
Standard equipment follows the rest of the AL series. Auto Wire Threading (AWT), a water chiller and the SD Master board are included. AccuteX says its discharge unit copes with changing workpiece thickness and flushing conditions without wire breaks, which is the situation a stepped die plate creates.
U and V travel is 100 x 100 mm (3.9 x 3.9 in) and the taper limit ±21° (H=100). The spool is 10 kg (22 lb). Options include X/Y linear scales, MST, PCD and graphite cutting, the 0.1mm Wire Application and a 6th Axis Package (W axis).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 500 mm (19.7 in) of X travel on a machine with a 300 mm (11.8 in) Z stroke
- Auto Wire Threading (AWT), water chiller and SD Master are in the standard accessory list
- Discharge unit described by AccuteX as handling changing workpiece thickness and flushing conditions
- Takes workpieces up to 990 x 560 x 295 mm (39.0 x 22.0 x 11.6 in) and 500 kg (1,102 lb)
Limitations
- Y travel is 300 mm (11.8 in); the AL-600SA gives 400 mm (15.7 in) on the same footprint
- X/Y Linear Scale and MST are optional accessories
- The 900 L water system and 2,480 x 2,980 x 2,210 mm (97.6 x 117.3 x 87.0 in) footprint are those of the larger AL-600SA
- Wire spool limited to 10 kg (22 lb) without the optional 45Kg Wire Jumbo Feeder

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X is 500 mm (19.7 in), Y is 300 mm (11.8 in) and Z is 300 mm (11.8 in). U and V each travel 100 mm (3.9 in), and the maximum cutting taper is ±21° (H=100). The largest workpiece AccuteX lists is 990 x 560 x 295 mm (39.0 x 22.0 x 11.6 in) at 500 kg (1,102 lb).
02
The two share a footprint of 2,480 x 2,980 x 2,210 mm (97.6 x 117.3 x 87.0 in) and a 900 L water system. The AL-600SA has 600 mm (23.6 in) by 400 mm (15.7 in) of travel and takes 550 kg (1,213 lb). The AL-500SA only makes sense when its 500 mm (19.7 in) by 300 mm (11.8 in) covers the work, so compare the two quotations side by side.
03
Yes, as an option. AccuteX's optional accessory list names MST for the AL-400SA, 500SA, 560SA and 600SA. PCD and graphite cutting, the 0.1mm Wire Application and X/Y linear scales are options too, while the SD Master discharge board is standard.
04
The listed footprint is 2,480 x 2,980 x 2,210 mm (97.6 x 117.3 x 87.0 in) as width, depth and height, and the machine weighs 3,600 kg (7,937 lb). Allow for the 900 L water system when working out the filled weight on the floor, and for access around the machine.
