How much does the Amada ARIES 244 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc punch presse in this class — not a quote from Amada. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Amada ARIES 244 is listed as a 22 tons (220 kN) turret punch press with 44 stations and a servo-electric drive that uses no hydraulics. The model is absent from Amada's current lineup, so treat this page as a reference for a machine found second-hand, built on the listed figures.
The turret is the notable part of the table. All 44 stations are listed as CNC-rotatable, across A, B, C and D station sizes. Where only a few stations of a turret rotate, shaped tools have to be duplicated at each angle a part needs. With every station able to index, one obround or rectangle covers any angle, and the turret holds more distinct shapes for the same number of stations.
Material limits are 6.35 mm in mild steel and in aluminum and 4 mm in stainless steel, with a maximum sheet weight of 150 kg. The stainless figure is the one most likely to decide whether a job fits, because 220 kN has to cover hole perimeter, thickness and material strength together. Sheet repositioning runs at 80 m/min.
The control is the Amada AMNC 3i, with Amada AP100 as the CAM software. Machine weight is approximately 6,500 kg, roughly half the 12000 kg of the AE 255 NT.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- All 44 stations are listed as CNC-rotatable, so a shaped tool can be used at any angle
- Servo-electric punch drive with no hydraulics
- Punches mild steel and aluminum to 6.35 mm with 22 tons (220 kN)
- Amada AMNC 3i control with Amada AP100 CAM software
- Machine weight of approximately 6,500 kg
Limitations
- Stainless steel is limited to 4 mm
- Maximum sheet weight is 150 kg
- 220 kN of punching force restricts large-perimeter tools in thicker sheet
- Station sizes run A to D; no larger station size is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 44 stations in A, B, C and D sizes, and state that all stations are CNC-rotatable. A shaped punch can therefore be turned to the angle a part needs without loading a second copy of the tool.
02
Up to 6.35 mm in mild steel, 6.35 mm in aluminum and 4 mm in stainless steel, with 22 tons (220 kN) of punching force. Maximum sheet weight is 150 kg.
03
The control is listed as the Amada AMNC 3i and the CAM software as Amada AP100. When looking at a particular machine, confirm which software version and post it was supplied with.
04
Machine weight is listed as approximately 6,500 kg. The punch drive is servo-electric with no hydraulics, and sheet repositioning speed is 80 m/min.
