Price estimate
We do not have a price for the CHMER RV1065L 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 RV1065L combines 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X travel with 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z, making it the tall-workpiece version of the metre-class RV fixed-table wire EDM. Its workpiece rating is 5,000 kg (11,023 lb).
A caution about the published data comes first. CHMER's specification table and the summary box on the same page give different Y travels and different workpiece sizes for this model, so neither is carried in the table on this page. The figures that agree are X, Z, the load, and the U and V travel of 160 x 160 mm (6.3 x 6.3 in), which is slightly more than the 150 x 150 mm of the RV1063L. Get the Y travel in writing from CHMER.
Mechanically the machine is an RV: fixed table, FEA-designed column on three large span linear guideways, linear motors on X and Y with feed up to 1,800 mm/min (70.9 ipm), and the i8 power supply. The taper rating is ±21°/80mm with the wide-angle nozzle.
The long Z makes for a tall machine. Outside dimensions are 4,300 x 3,445 x 2,780 mm (169.3 x 135.6 x 109.4 in), the same plan area as the RV1063L but more than half a metre higher, and weight is 8,200 kg (18,078 lb). Wire is 0.15-0.3 mm, 0.25 mm standard, at up to 300 mm/sec.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
CHMER's page gives two different figures, one in the specification table and another in the summary box, so this page does not list one. X travel is 1,000 mm (39.4 in) and Z travel 500 mm (19.7 in) in both places. Ask CHMER to confirm Y and the maximum workpiece size.
02
Z travel is 500 mm (19.7 in) against 300 mm (11.8 in) on the RV1063L, and the machine is 2,780 mm high against 2,250 mm. U and V travel is 160 x 160 mm against 150 x 150 mm. Both are rated for 5,000 kg (11,023 lb).
03
Machine weight is 8,200 kg (18,078 lb). Outside dimensions are 4,300 x 3,445 x 2,780 mm (169.3 x 135.6 x 109.4 in), width by depth by height.
04
X and Y axes by linear motor, U, V and Z by AC servo, with an X Y feed rate up to 1,800 mm/min (70.9 ipm). Wire diameter is 0.15-0.3 mm (0.006-0.012 in), tension 300-2,500 gf and wire feed up to 300 mm/sec (11.8 in/sec).
