Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there such a wide price range?
Price differences reflect automation level, build quality (materials, components), speed, and brand premium. A $50K Chinese machine uses domestic components; a $500K German machine uses premium servo motors, sensors, and hardened steel throughout.
Are Chinese machines worth buying?
Yes. Mid-range and premium Chinese machines (TECON, Nanjiang, Joyda) offer excellent value for their price. Budget Chinese machines ($5K–$25K) are suitable for small operations but may have reliability issues.
How often do prices change?
Prices typically adjust annually based on raw material costs (steel, electronics), currency fluctuations, and competitive pressure. Steel price increases of 20% typically raise machine prices by 5–10%.
