How much does the Amada EM 3612 ZRTe 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 EM 3612 ZRTe is a 300 kN servo-driven turret punch press on a bridge frame, with 3050 x 1525 mm of axis travel and a Tool Storage Unit feeding its turret. The travel is enough to take a 3050 mm sheet at its full 1525 mm width without repositioning.
Tooling works differently here than on a conventional turret press. Amada lists a 32-station ZR turret, 4 of which are Auto Index stations, and names a Tool Storage Unit as the tool changer. A plain turret has to hold every tool a shift will need. This one is supplied from storage, so its station count is lower than the 45 stations of the AE-NT 2510 without that count being the ceiling on the tools a job can call. Amada's table does not say how many tools the storage unit holds.
The press runs on AC servo motors in what Amada calls a direct twin drive, and punching accuracy is stated as ± 0.1 mm. With 300 kN available it has half as much capacity again as the 200 kN AE-NT 2510, which widens the range of tool perimeter and sheet thickness a single hit can handle.
That capability takes room. The machine is 7415 mm long, 6220 mm wide and 2666 mm high and weighs 25000 kg, twice the 12500 kg of the AE-NT 2510. Floor loading, the route into the building and space for sheet and tool handling around the footprint need to be settled before an order. The table gives no hit rate, sheet thickness limit, axis speed or control.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Axis travel is 3050 x 1525 mm, so a sheet of that size is punched in one clamping. Amada states the punching accuracy as ± 0.1 mm. The table does not list a maximum sheet thickness or sheet weight.
02
Amada lists a Tool Storage Unit as the tool changer and a 32-station ZR turret with 4 Auto Index stations. Tools are held in storage as well as in the turret, so the turret does not have to carry everything a run of jobs needs. The capacity of the storage unit is not given in the table.
03
It is the larger and stronger machine. The EM 3612 ZRTe has a 300 kN press capacity, 3050 x 1525 mm of travel and weighs 25000 kg. The AE-NT 2510 has 200 kN, 2500 x 1270 mm of travel, a 45-station turret and weighs 12500 kg. Both are bridge-frame machines.
04
The machine itself measures 7415 mm long, 6220 mm wide and 2666 mm high and weighs 25000 kg. Add working room for sheet loading and tool handling, and have the floor assessed for that weight before installation.
