How much does the Amada VIPROS 368 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
With a hydraulic ram and 30 tons (267 kN) of listed punching force, the Amada VIPROS 368 is a turret punch press for long sheet: up to 1,270 x 4,000 mm (50 x 157 in, with auto-repositioning). It is not in Amada's current lineup. What follows is written from the listed figures for a buyer looking at a used one.
The two axes are not equally fast. X is listed at 100 m/min and Y at 60 m/min, so nests that string their long moves along X spend less time between hits. The maximum hit rate is 400 hits/min. Positioning accuracy is ±0.05 mm (±0.002 in), which sets the floor for hole-to-hole tolerances straight off the machine.
The 4,000 mm sheet length is reached by auto-repositioning, meaning the clamps let go and take a new grip part-way through the program. Features on either side of that regrip are the place to look when judging a used machine, so ask for a test part that spans it. Thickness capacity is 6.35 mm (0.25 in) in mild steel and 4.5 mm (0.18 in) in stainless. No aluminum figure is given.
The turret has 58 stations, and indexing is listed as full-station servo rotation with ±0.001° resolution on all stations. If the machine on offer matches that, any tool can be turned to the angle a part needs and fewer duplicate shapes have to be held. Verify it station by station, because it changes the tooling budget. The control is Amada AMNC with auto tool selection, and the machine weighs 11,000 kg (24,251 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Handles sheet up to 1,270 x 4,000 mm (50 x 157 in, with auto-repositioning)
- X axis speed of 100 m/min and Y axis speed of 60 m/min, with a maximum hit rate of 400 hits/min
- Positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm (±0.002 in)
- 58 turret stations, with indexing listed as full-station servo rotation at ±0.001° resolution on all stations
- Amada AMNC control with auto tool selection
Limitations
- The 4,000 mm sheet length depends on auto-repositioning, which adds a regrip in the middle of the program
- Y axis speed is 60 m/min against 100 m/min on X, so nests with long Y moves run slower
- Stainless capacity is 4.5 mm (0.18 in) against 6.35 mm (0.25 in) in mild steel, and no aluminum thickness is listed
- At 11,000 kg (24,251 lb) with a hydraulic ram, it needs a suitable floor and a hydraulic system in good order

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum sheet size is 1,270 x 4,000 mm (50 x 157 in, with auto-repositioning). The repositioning is what gives the full length: the clamps release and regrip the sheet during the program. Thickness is limited to 6.35 mm (0.25 in) in mild steel and 4.5 mm (0.18 in) in stainless.
02
The maximum hit rate is 400 hits/min. Axis speeds are 100 m/min on X and 60 m/min on Y, so the sheet moves quicker along X. These are top figures; the rate on a real part depends on the distance between hits and on the material.
03
The listed figures say so: 58 stations, with full-station servo rotation and ±0.001° resolution on all stations. On a used machine, confirm this on the turret itself before buying tooling, since the answer decides how many angled duplicates of a shape are needed.
04
The machine weighs 11,000 kg (24,251 lb), so the floor and the lifting plan come first. The ram drive is hydraulic, which makes the condition of the hydraulic unit part of any inspection. The control is Amada AMNC with auto tool selection. A test part measured against the ±0.05 mm (±0.002 in) positioning accuracy shows how the axes have held up.
