CHMER CM865C

Q: How much does the CHMER CM865C cost?

The price estimate for the CHMER CM865C 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-cm865c#price; the request is passed to CHMER or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the CHMER CM865C 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 CM865C CNC die sinker EDM offers 800 x 600 mm (31.5 x 23.6 in) of table travel on a 1,200 x 800 mm (47.2 x 31.5 in) table, with 500 mm (19.7 in) of ram travel. Its workpiece limit is 4,000 kg (8,800 lb).

Compared with the CM655C the ram end is unchanged. Electrode weight is still 300 kg (660 lb), ram travel still 500 mm and the generator range still 50N to 150N. What the CM865C adds is table travel in both axes and a further tonne of load, so two cavities of a family mould, or both halves of a mid-size tool, can be set up side by side. The CM655C lists 600 x 500 mm of travel and 3,000 kg (6,600 lb).

The weight of the casting shows where the capacity comes from. The machine is 5,800 kg (12,760 lb), against 3,500 kg (7,700 lb) for the CM655C, in stress-relieved cast iron that CHMER specifies as FC30. Ball screws and linear guides carry all three axes, with closed-loop linear scales for feedback.

The work tank is 1,600 x 1,000 x 550 mm and the D865 dielectric tank holds 1,600 L (423 gal). The ram platen is 290-790 mm (11.4-31.1 in) from the table. Overall height is 2,860 mm (112.5 in), so check the clear height where the machine will stand.

02 How much can the CM865C carry?

A workpiece of up to 4,000 kg (8,800 lb) and an electrode of up to 300 kg (660 lb). The distance between ram platen and table is 290-790 mm (11.4-31.1 in).

03 What is the machining speed of the CM865C?

Maximum machining speed depends on the generator: 350 mm3/min with the 50N, 550 with the 75N, 900 with the 125N and 1,050 mm3/min with the 150N. Electrode wear rate is listed at 0.2% for all of them.
