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 40 FX is described in the listed figures as a moving-gantry 5-axis CNC machining center with travels of up to 7,000 mm (276 in) in X, up to 2,200 mm (86.6 in) in Y and up to 750 mm (29.5 in) in Z. SCM does not show the model in its current lineup under this name, so use the page as a reference for an existing machine.

What sets it apart is the height of the envelope and the reach of the head. Z travel of up to 750 mm (29.5 in) is paired with an A axis of +/- 110° and a C axis of 360° continuous, so the spindle can come at a tall part from the side and tilt past horizontal. That is the geometry for trimming moulded shells and cutting patterns, and the materials row agrees: carbon fiber, fiberglass, foam, aluminum composite panel and Renshape.

The spindle is listed at 14 – 22 kW (18.7 – 29.5 hp) with an HSK-63F taper and up to 24,000 RPM. Power is a range, so the motor fitted to a given machine needs checking. The same goes for the automatic tool changer, listed with 12-20 positions, and for X travel, which is stated as depending on configuration. Rapid traverse is up to 40 m/min (1,575 ipm). On the longest version, with 7,000 mm (276 in) of X, moves from one end of the part to the other will show up in the cycle time.

The frame is a welded steel moving gantry. The control row names SCM Maestro alongside a second, third-party CNC, so confirm which one a particular machine runs before planning post-processors and training.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Z travel of up to 750 mm (29.5 in) for tall patterns and formed parts
A axis of +/- 110° with a 360° continuous C axis
Spindle of 14 – 22 kW (18.7 – 29.5 hp) with an HSK-63F taper and up to 24,000 RPM
X travel of up to 7,000 mm (276 in) and Y of up to 2,200 mm (86.6 in), depending on configuration
Welded steel moving gantry frame

Limitations

Rapid traverse of up to 40 m/min (1,575 ipm), half the up to 80 m/min listed for the Accord 30 FX
Tool changer holds 12-20 positions, a small magazine for long 5-axis programs with many cutters
Travels, spindle power and tool positions are stated as maximums or ranges, so the capacity of a specific machine has to be confirmed

Best For

5-axis trimming of carbon fiber and fiberglass parts Foam and Renshape patterns up to 750 mm (29.5 in) tall Long parts within 7,000 mm (276 in) of X travel Aluminum composite panel work across up to 2,200 mm (86.6 in) of Y

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What materials is the Accord 40 FX intended for?

The materials row lists carbon fiber, fiberglass, foam, aluminum composite panel and Renshape. Those are trimming and pattern-making materials, which fits the tall Z travel of up to 750 mm (29.5 in) and the 5-axis head.

02 What are the rotary axis ranges?

The A axis is listed at +/- 110° and the C axis at 360° continuous. With the A axis swinging past horizontal, the tool can reach the sides of a part and slightly under an overhang without a second setup, within the Z travel of up to 750 mm (29.5 in).

03 Which spindle taper and power does it have?

The taper is HSK-63F. Power is listed as 14 – 22 kW (18.7 – 29.5 hp) with a speed of up to 24,000 RPM. Because power is given as a range, check the spindle plate on the machine in question.

04 How does it differ from the Accord 30 FX?

The Accord 30 FX is listed with a 9 kW (12 HP) spindle and an approximate weight of 4,800 kg (10,582 lb). The Accord 40 FX has a 14 – 22 kW (18.7 – 29.5 hp) spindle, an HSK-63F taper and Z travel of up to 750 mm (29.5 in), so it is the larger and stronger of the two.
