How much does the Feeler FDM-7235 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler FDM-7235 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
Seven metres by three is the table of the Feeler FDM-7235: 7,000 × 3,000 mm (275.6 × 118.1 in), under 7,200 mm (283.5 in) of X travel and 3,400 mm (133.9 in) of Y.
Two things in its column deserve attention before the size does. First, load. The row reads 27 (30) ton, identical to the FDM-6235, so the additional metre adds no capacity. Second, the drive. Feeler states that for X-axis travel over 7200 mm a rack and pinion drive with reduction gearbox is used, and this model's travel equals that figure without exceeding it. Which side of the line it falls on is not stated.
Neither point is a defect. They are the questions that separate this model from its neighbours, and both have a practical side. If a planned mould approaches 30 ton, the bracketed rating must be ordered, and nothing longer will carry more: the FDM-8235 is also 30 ton. If positioning over the full stroke matters, the drive type and its compensation should be known before acceptance.
Y has a bracketed 4,000 mm (157.5 in). Z is 800 mm (31.5 in), or 1,000-1,400 mm. The spindle is listed at 6,000 rpm on BT/DIN/CAT 50, with 4,000-8,000 rpm and #40 bracketed. Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) on X and Z and 15 m/min (591 ipm) on Y, and the magazine holds 24 tools or 32-90.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Table of 7,000 × 3,000 mm (275.6 × 118.1 in), second only to the FDM-8235
- Load of 27 ton, with 30 ton bracketed
- Y travel of 3,400 mm (133.9 in), or 4,000 mm (157.5 in) bracketed
- Y rapid of 15 m/min (591 ipm) on a machine of this size
Limitations
- No more load than the shorter FDM-6235
- X travel of exactly 7,200 mm leaves the rack and pinion question open
- Rapid traverse on X and Z is 12 m/min (472 ipm)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
7,000 mm long and 3,000 mm wide (275.6 × 118.1 in). X travel is 7,200 mm (283.5 in) and Y travel 3,400 mm (133.9 in), with 4,000 mm in brackets.
02
For length only. The FDM-6235 has 6,200 mm of X travel and a 6,000 mm table; the FDM-7235 has 7,200 mm and 7,000 mm. Load, Y, Z, spindle, rapids and magazine rows are the same in both columns.
03
Not confirmed. The rack and pinion drive with reduction gearbox is described for X-axis travel over 7200 mm. The FDM-7235 travels 7,200 mm, and the FDM-8235, at 8,200 mm, is the model in this width that is clearly over it.
04
Y travel of 4,000 mm, Z travel of 1,000-1,400 mm, a 30 ton load, a 4,000-8,000 rpm spindle range, a #40 taper and 32-90 tools. The listed values are 3,400 mm, 800 mm, 27 ton, 6,000 rpm, BT/DIN/CAT 50 and 24 tools.
