How much does the SCM Accord 40 FX CNC Router cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from SCM Group. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The SCM Accord 40 FX is a 5-axis CNC router with 3600 mm (142 in) of X travel, 1300 mm (51 in) of Y and 250 mm (10 in) of Z, built around a 12 kW (16 HP) electrospindle. It is not in SCM Group's current lineup, so the listed figures are a reference for a used machine and should be confirmed on it.
The 5-axis head defines the machine. The listed figures give the A axis ±135° and the C axis ±120°, interpolated, which lets the tool lean into bevels, angled bores and shaped edges without a separate aggregate. The C range matters for programming. A head that turns ±120° cannot spin through a full circle, so a toolpath that wraps all the way around a part needs a retract and a reposition somewhere along the way.
Work is held on a pod-and-rail vacuum system. Pods lift the part clear of the rails so the tool can run past its edges, which suits single components machined on their sides and faces. It is a poor fit for cutting many small parts from a full sheet.
Z travel of 250 mm (10 in) has to cover the pods, the part and the tool, so tall workpieces need checking against real clearances. The spindle runs up to 24,000 RPM, the automatic tool changer has up to 24 positions, and every axis is driven by a brushless servo. The control is listed as SCM Maestro CNC.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Interpolated 5-axis head, listed with A axis ±135° and C axis ±120°
- 3600 mm (142 in) of X travel for long components
- 12 kW (16 HP) electrospindle running up to 24,000 RPM
- Automatic tool change with up to 24 positions
- Brushless servo drives on all axes
Limitations
- C axis is limited to ±120°, so the head cannot rotate through a full circle
- Z travel of 250 mm (10 in) restricts part height once pods and tool length are counted
- The pod-and-rail table is not suited to nesting small parts from full sheets
- Not in SCM Group's current lineup; the listed figures give no rapid rates, machine weight or electrical data

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures describe a 5-axis head with the A axis at ±135° and the C axis at ±120°, both interpolated. Because C stops at ±120°, the head cannot turn continuously, and paths that go all the way around a part have to be split.
02
X travel is listed as 3600 mm (142 in), Y as 1300 mm (51 in) and Z as 250 mm (10 in). The Z figure has to accommodate the vacuum pods, the workpiece and the tool length, so the usable part height is less than the travel.
03
The table row reads pod-and-rail vacuum system. Parts sit on vacuum pods that are positioned along rails, which leaves the edges of the part open to the tool. The listed figures do not give the number of rails or pods.
04
A 12 kW (16 HP) electrospindle with speeds up to 24,000 RPM, and an automatic tool changer with up to 24 positions. The listed figures do not name the tool holder type, so confirm it on the machine before buying tooling.
