In a machine tool quotation, how much price difference do CNC system, ATC and spindle brands cause, and how to break down the quote to avoid hidden markups?
• CNC system accounts for 15-25% of machine cost; FANUC/Siemens cost 30-50% more than domestic systems.
• ATC brand difference can reach 5-10% of machine price; imported cam ATC costs double a cheap domestic one.
• Motorized spindle costs 20-40% more than mechanical spindle but offers higher speed and accuracy.
• Quote must itemize system model, ATC stations, spindle power and torque; reject vague 'standard configuration'.
• Require itemized pricing: machine, system, ATC, fixtures, installation and commissioning for comparison.
