How much does the CMS Tracer 100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the CMS Tracer 100 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 CMS Tracer 100 is what CMS calls an all-in-one machining centre for plastics: 3 or 5 axes, a drilling unit and a flat extruded aluminium work surface on one mobile gantry. It is intended for technical articles and for trimming low-drawing thermoformed parts.
Thermoformed work explains the Z figures. The Z axis panel passage is 180 mm (7.1 in) as standard and 250 mm (9.8 in) as an option, enough to clear a shallow formed shell on its fixture. The JQX 5-axis operating unit, which CMS says is optimized for plastics, then follows the trim line around the part. Deep-drawn parts need a taller machine.
The routing unit is rated at up to 15 kW (20.5 hp) and 24000 rpm. Up to 57 places are available on the tool changer, and a 14-station FAST rack magazine travels inside the mobile cabin so that a tool change takes less than 15 seconds. The drilling unit has up to 21 independent vertical and 12 independent horizontal spindles, with an integrated blade in X of 125 mm (4.9 in).
Vectorial speed in X-Y is 78 m/min in the PRO-SPEED version and 56 m/min in PRO-SPACE, the version without perimeter protections. Plan the extraction for 4430 m3/h of exhaust air through an outlet of 250 mm (9.8 in).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
CMS describes it as an all-in-one machining center with 3 and 5 axes for plastic materials and advanced materials, with technical solutions dedicated to the technical article and to low-drawing thermoformed products.
02
The Z axis panel passage is 180 mm (7.1 in), with 250 mm (9.8 in) listed as an option. CMS summarises this as a wide workpiece passage in Z up to 250mm.
03
CMS states that the 14-station FAST rack magazine inside the mobile cabin keeps tools in front of the operating unit for change cycles in less than 15 seconds, and that working cycles are on average 9% faster with it. The tool changer has up to 57 places in total.
04
They are two safety layouts. PRO-SPACE has no perimeter protections and a vectorial speed in X-Y of 56 m/min. PRO-SPEED is listed at 78 m/min. CMS credits the PRO-SPACE layout with an average saving of 15% of occupied room in the workshop.
