Q: How much does the Machitech Fiber Prime S 8x20 cost?

The price estimate for the Machitech Fiber Prime S 8x20 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/machitech-fiber-prime-s-8x20#price; the request is passed to Machitech Automation or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Machitech Fiber Prime S 8x20 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

Plate 98 in (2,500 mm) wide goes onto the Machitech Fiber Prime S 8x20, the first Fiber Prime S size in the wide format. Sheet length is 244 in (6,200 mm). The step from the 6x12 is large in one figure above all: workpiece weight jumps to 26,100 lbs (12,000 kg).

That rating, stated for a 3 in steel plate, shows what the size is for. This is a plate machine for heavy fabrication, where a single piece of material weighs many tons and the shuttle table has to lift and exchange it. The hydraulic lifting mechanism and the bed isolated from the motion platform are the two design points Machitech names for that duty.

Sources run from 12 to 60 kW. With 40 kW the table lists 3 in (80 mm) for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum; with 60 kW, 4 in (100 mm). In that thickness range the laser competes with plasma and oxyfuel, and Machitech positions its bevel head as a replacement for 5-axis plasma tables, cutting V, X, Y and K preparations.

Despite the mass on the table, acceleration is 2.8 G and rapid speed 7,875 ipm (200 m/min), unchanged from the 6x12. The machine is 655 in (16,640 mm) long, a length that includes the exchange position, 157 in (4,000 mm) wide and 105 in (2,680 mm) high. It weighs 45,200 lbs (20,500 kg) without source, chiller and dust collector, so foundation and access for delivery need planning early.
