How much does the Campro CPL-20MC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Campro CPL-20MC 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
With an 8 in chuck, an 11 / 15 kW (20 HP) spindle and a VDI-40 live turret, the Campro CPL-20MC is the mid-size turning and milling center of the CPL-MC series. It turns up to 260 mm (10.2 in) in diameter and 470 mm (18.5 in) in length, and mills over 432 mm (17 in).
For most shops this is the practical size. The spindle is the A2-6, 4,200 rpm unit of the CPL-208, with a Ø52 mm (Ø2 in) hole through the draw tube, so a wide range of bar and chucked parts fits. The step from the CPL-10MC is mainly in the tooling: the larger VDI-40 holders, and a turret servo motor of 3.7 / 5.5 kW in place of the 2.2 / 3.7 kW of the CPL-10MC. Driven tools turn at up to 4,000 rpm.
What the machine does is combine operations. With the C axis indexing in 0.001° steps and every one of the 12 turret positions able to hold a rotating tool, a flange can be turned, drilled on a bolt circle and tapped without leaving the chuck. A shaft can have its keyway milled after turning, held by the tailstock, whose quill is Ø80 mm (Ø3.1 in) with 120 mm (4.7 in) of travel.
The axes are X 200 + 5 mm and Z 475 mm (18.7 in), both at 24 m/min. Campro lists linear guideways for this model and a one-piece 45° box type casting. A 10 in chuck is an option.
Weight is 4,500 kg (9,920 lb), the floor plan with chip conveyor 3,455 x 1,785 mm (136 in x 70 in), power capacity 25 kVA and coolant capacity 110 L (29 gal).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 11 / 15 kW (20 HP) spindle with an 8 in chuck and Ø52 mm (Ø2 in) draw tube hole
- 12-position servo live turret on VDI-40, with any position able to drive a tool
- Turret servo motor of 3.7 / 5.5 kW and 4,000 rpm driven tools
- C axis indexing of 0.001°
- Tailstock with Ø80 mm (Ø3.1 in) quill for shaft work
Limitations
- Maximum turning diameter is 260 mm (10.2 in); the 2-axis CPL-208 turns Ø400 mm (15.7 in)
- Driven tool speed of 4,000 rpm is lower than the 5,000 rpm of the CPL-10MC
- No Y axis or sub-spindle in the table
- Needs 25 kVA, against 20 kVA for the CPL-208
