How much does the CHMER AW10L cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the CHMER AW10L 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
The CHMER AW10L is a linear motor wire EDM with a full metre of X travel: 1,000 x 600 mm (39.4 x 23.6 in) in X and Y, and 300 mm (11.8 in) in Z. It belongs to the AMStech AW series and shares its 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) workpiece limit with the AW8L.
So what does the bigger frame buy? Area, mostly. The maximum workpiece grows to 1,400 x 900 x 295 mm (55.1 x 35.4 x 11.6 in), against 1,200 x 800 x 295 mm on the AW8L, while the load rating, the 150 x 150 mm (5.9 x 5.9 in) U and V axes and the ± 21° / 180 mm taper rating stay as they are. The wire range is wider than on the AW8L, starting at 0.15 mm (0.006 in).
Water volume doubles. CHMER lists 2,800 L (740 gal) of water capacity and a machine weight of 9,600 kg + 2,800 kg. The services to fill, filter, deionise and chill that much water are a real part of the installation, as is the 4,150 x 4,750 mm (163.4 x 187.0 in) footprint.
Rapid traverse is 1,800 mm/min (70.9 ipm) on X and Y, which are the linear motor axes. Nothing on the model page lists the accessories supplied, so wire threading, chillers and filtration should be itemised in the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X 1,000 mm (39.4 in), Y 600 mm (23.6 in) and Z 300 mm (11.8 in). U and V axis travel is 150 x 150 mm (5.9 x 5.9 in). The largest workpiece listed is 1,400 x 900 x 295 mm (55.1 x 35.4 x 11.6 in).
02
No. Both list a maximum workpiece weight of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The AW10L adds travel, 1,000 x 600 mm against the AW8L's 800 x 500 mm, and holds 2,800 L (740 gal) of water where the AW8L holds 1,400 L (370 gal). The AW12L is the model with the higher 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) rating.
03
Outside dimensions are 4,150 x 4,750 x 2,500 mm (163.4 x 187.0 x 98.4 in). Machine weight is listed as 9,600 kg + 2,800 kg (21,164 lb + 6,173 lb).
04
The axis drive system row reads XY Linear Motor, and the maximum X, Y rapid traverse is 1,800 mm/min (70.9 ipm). The wire feeds at up to 300 mm/sec (11.8 in/sec) under 300-2,500 gf of tension.
