How much does the SCM Accord 42 FX cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the SCM Accord 42 FX 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
The SCM Accord 42 FX is a mobile-gantry machining center with a combined head: a 5-axis routing unit of up to 12 kW (16.1 hp) at the front and a 3- or 4-axis unit of up to 21 kW (28.2 hp) at the rear. SCM builds it for doors, windows, stairs and other solid wood elements, and describes it as designed for heavy duty operations.
Only long frames are offered. The four working areas are 5020x1680x350 mm, 6360x1680x350 mm, 5020x1905x350 mm and 6360x1905x350 mm, so there is no short version for a small workshop. X-Y-Z axis speeds are 95-90-30 m/min.
The two routing units take turns. SCM states that while one is working the other changes its tool in masked time, and that heavy profiling is done with the rear unit and its 21 kW electrospindle. That leaves the lighter 5-axis spindle for inclined cuts and finishing. Tools sit in a 12-position store on the machining head, a 48-position rear store and a 16-position front store.
A drilling unit with up to 26 vertical and horizontal spindles at 8000 rpm completes the head. The MATIC bars worktable sets itself up with independent drive units, which SCM says takes seconds. For 5-axis work that needs more height, the Accord 50 FX lists working areas with 500 mm of Z, such as 3680x1680x500 mm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Combined head with two routing units: 5-axis up to 12 kW (16.1 hp) and 3- or 4-axis up to 21 kW (28.2 hp)
- Tool change in masked time while the other routing unit is cutting
- Rear tool store with 48 positions, plus 12 positions on the head and 16 positions at the front
- MATIC bars worktable with independent drive units for automatic set-up
- X-Y-Z axis speeds of 95-90-30 m/min
Limitations
- No frame shorter than 5,020 mm (197.6 in) in X
- 5-axis electrospindle is limited to 12 kW (16.1 hp); the Accord 50 FX lists 17 kW (5 axes electrospindle, max.)
- Z of 350 mm (13.8 in) and a Z-axis speed of 30 m/min, a third of the X and Y figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The machining head combines a unit with 5 axes and a unit with 3 axes that work independently. SCM states that their alternate use reduces the cycle time: while one unit is working, the other performs the tool change in masked time.
02
The 5-axis electrospindle is listed at up to 12 kW (16.1 hp) and the 3- or 4-axis electrospindle at up to 21 kW (28.2 hp). Both reach a maximum of 24000 rpm. SCM assigns heavy duty profiling to the rear unit with the 21 kW electrospindle.
03
Four: 5020x1680x350 mm, 6360x1680x350 mm, 5020x1905x350 mm and 6360x1905x350 mm. There are two X lengths and two Y depths, all with 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z.
04
SCM lists three stores: 12 positions on the machining head, 48 positions in the rear tool store and 16 positions in the front tool store. The drilling unit adds up to 26 vertical and horizontal spindles that need no tool change.
