CHMER CM1265C

Q: How much does the CHMER CM1265C cost?

The price estimate for the CHMER CM1265C is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chmer-cm1265c#price; the request is passed to CHMER or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the CHMER CM1265C 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 CM1265C is the largest of CHMER's C-frame-style CNC die sinkers before the series moves to its 75 and 76 frames. It has 1,200 x 600 mm (47.2 x 23.6 in) of table travel, a 1,500 x 800 mm (59.1 x 31.5 in) table and a workpiece limit of 7,500 kg (16,500 lb).

That load rating is the highest among the models up to this size and exceeds several of the larger machines above it: the CM1475C, with more X travel, is rated for 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). A buyer with short, dense mould blocks should therefore look here first.

The work tank measures 2,500 x 1,350 x 700 mm (98.4 x 53.1 x 27.5 in), and the D1265 dielectric tank holds 3,500 L (925 gal). Ram travel is 500 mm (19.7 in) and electrode weight is limited to 300 kg (660 lb), so the burning end is the same as on the CM865C; only the table and structure are scaled up. The machine weighs 8,500 kg (18,700 lb).

Generators from 50N to 150N are available. At 150 A the 150N reaches 1,050 mm3/min, and the 50N or 75N can finish to 0.25 μm Ra. Two rows on CHMER's page are unusable for this model, because the metric and inch figures contradict each other: the outside dimensions and the ram-to-table distance. Get both from CHMER before planning the bay.
