What is the cost of a special machine tool? Is it worth investing in?

13/05/2023
The cost of special purpose machine is generally higher than that of general-purpose machine tools, as they require special design and manufacturing, and production quantities are relatively small, thus requiring higher research and development and manufacturing costs.

The degree of worthwhile investment depends on demand and budget. If your production tasks require high precision, high efficiency, and large and stable long-term production needs, investing in special purpose machine is worth it. By using special purpose machine, manual operations and process losses can be reduced, production efficiency and product quality can be improved, and the profitability of the enterprise can be increased. 

However, if your production needs are small, or the machine usage frequency is low, or your budget is limited, using general-purpose machine tools may be more economically reasonable. The choice of machine tool type should be evaluated and decided based on actual needs.
