How much does the PAMA Speedmat 3000 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc boring machine in this class — not a quote from PAMA. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The PAMA Speedmat 3000 is a horizontal boring and milling center built around a 130 mm (5.1 in) boring spindle and a rotary table that carries 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). The listed figures put spindle speed at 5 - 4,000 RPM and Z travel at 1,800 mm (70.9 in).
A 4,000 RPM top speed on a 130 mm (5.1 in) bar is the point of the design. A boring spindle of that diameter gives the stiffness for line boring and heavy face milling, while the speed range reaches high enough for carbide tooling in aluminium and for small drills and taps, so a housing can be roughed, bored and finished without moving to a second machine. The guideways are mixed: hydrostatic for the Y axis and column, roller for X and Z. Rapid traverse is 15 m/min (591 IPM).
The rotary table indexes to within 3 arc-seconds, which is what keeps bores on opposite sides of a part in line after the table has turned. The magazine holds 60 tools as standard and 120 as an option. A facing head of up to 1,000 mm diameter is optional, for flange faces and large recesses. Machine weight is 35,000 kg (77,162 lb).
The listed figures are not consistent on every point. X and Y travel, spindle power, table size and quill travel each appear with two different values, so they are not quoted here. Take those from the manufacturer's documentation for the machine you are quoting or inspecting.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 130 mm (5.1 in) boring spindle with a listed speed range of 5 - 4,000 RPM
- Rotary table listed for 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) with 3 arc-seconds indexing accuracy
- Hydrostatic guideways for the Y axis and column, roller guideways on X and Z
- 60-tool magazine as standard, 120 tools optional
- 1,800 mm (70.9 in) of Z travel
Limitations
- The facing head, up to 1,000 mm in diameter, is an option
- The listed figures give two different values each for X travel, Y travel, spindle power, table size and quill travel
- Rapid traverse is 15 m/min (591 IPM)
- At 35,000 kg (77,162 lb) the machine needs a prepared foundation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a 130 mm (5.1 in) boring spindle with a speed range of 5 - 4,000 RPM. Spindle power appears with two different values in the listed figures, so confirm it from the manufacturer's documentation before sizing cuts.
02
The maximum table load is listed as 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). The table is a rotary type with an indexing accuracy of 3 arc-seconds. Its dimensions are given inconsistently in the listed figures, so check the table size for the specific machine.
03
The listed figures give hydrostatic guideways for the Y axis and column and roller guideways for the X and Z axes. Hydrostatic ways run on an oil film, which adds damping under heavy cuts. Rapid traverse is listed at 15 m/min (591 IPM).
04
No. A facing head of up to 1,000 mm diameter is listed as optional. The tool magazine holds 60 tools as standard, with 120 tools as a further option, so both items need to be specified when the machine is configured.
