Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from SCM. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The SCM Accord 30 FX is a 5-axis CNC router with a work area of up to 2,600 mm (102 in) in X, 1,400 mm (55 in) in Y and 300 mm (11.8 in) in Z, and a 9 kW (12 HP) spindle that reaches 24,000 RPM. SCM's current lineup does not show a machine under this exact name, so treat this page as a reference for an older model and check any machine on offer against its own documentation.

The axes row describes 5-axis simultaneous motion: X, Y and Z, plus a B-tilt and a C-rotation. On a 300 mm (11.8 in) Z stroke that needs some thought, because a tilted head and a long tool both eat into the same vertical travel. The envelope suits shaped edges, angled bores and shallow three-dimensional profiles on parts that lie fairly flat; deep forms worked from the side will run out of clearance first. The control is listed as SCM Maestro Watch with five-axis TCP programming.

Among the listed figures the spindle is the one to weigh against the work. At 9 kW (12 HP) it is the smallest of the Accord pages here: the Accord 40 FX is listed at 14 – 22 kW (18.7 – 29.5 hp) and the Accord 50 FX at 17 kW. Rapid traverse goes the other way, with up to 80 m/min on this machine against up to 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on the Accord 40 FX, so the Accord 30 FX reads as a quick machine for light cuts and not as a heavy stock remover.

Weight is given as approximately 4,800 kg (10,582 lb). One row is incomplete: the tool changer entry carries no number of positions, so magazine capacity has to be counted on the machine itself.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

5-axis simultaneous motion, with a B-tilt and a C-rotation on top of X, Y and Z
24,000 RPM spindle speed, suited to small-diameter router tooling
Rapid traverse of up to 80 m/min, double the up to 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) listed for the Accord 40 FX
SCM Maestro Watch control, listed with five-axis TCP programming

Limitations

9 kW (12 HP) spindle, against 14 – 22 kW (18.7 – 29.5 hp) on the Accord 40 FX, limits large-diameter tooling and heavy roughing passes
Z work area of 300 mm (11.8 in) is shared between part height, tool length and the tilted head
The tool changer row gives no number of positions, so magazine capacity is unconfirmed

Best For

5-axis trimming and shaping of parts within 2,600 mm (102 in) by 1,400 mm (55 in) Light, fast cuts with small tools at up to 24,000 RPM Angled drilling and edge profiling on parts well under 300 mm (11.8 in) tall

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the work area of the Accord 30 FX?

The listed figures give up to 2,600 mm (102 in) in X, 1,400 mm (55 in) in Y and 300 mm (11.8 in) in Z. The X figure is stated as a maximum, so a particular machine may have been built shorter; measure the table of the one you are looking at.

02 Is the Accord 30 FX a true 5-axis machine?

The axes row lists 5-axis simultaneous motion with X, Y, Z, a B-tilt and a C-rotation, and the control row lists SCM Maestro Watch with five-axis TCP programming. Both point to continuous 5-axis work rather than indexed positioning alone.

03 How does its spindle compare with the Accord 40 FX?

The Accord 30 FX is listed with a 9 kW (12 HP) spindle at 24,000 RPM. The Accord 40 FX is listed with 14 – 22 kW (18.7 – 29.5 hp) and an HSK-63F taper. For this model the table names no tool interface, so check the spindle nose before buying tool holders.

04 How many tools does the Accord 30 FX hold?

The table does not say. Its tool changer row has no number of positions, so the capacity of the magazine cannot be stated from the listed figures. Count the positions on the machine or ask the seller for the original configuration sheet.
