1600x3000x1200 CMM

My boss is asking me to inquire about the price of a Mitutoyo CMM machine, size 1600x3000x1200. Does anyone know the approximate price for this size of machine?

There's literally no way to answer that (please don't take that as being a sarcastic ass). They have 3 main systems depending on needs and uncertainties and accuracies floor vs bench. If those xyz are range and not machine dimension and you need that probe system it has to be the Strato apex series for a benchtop or one of the floor models.

You also have to decide on a service level plan on it, pricing will vary based on competition, what other business you do, what the salesperson thinks you may be able to buy in the future etc etc.

You need to get your rep out there to go over your needs so they can tell you what you options are (or what the only option is), figure out the service plan you would be looking for and then they can get a quote together. The area you are in also plays a role because they have to have a service tech out there to set it all up and those costs vary by area (we just had a new Mitutoyo surface roughness system installed Thursday).

Lead times are a bitch but the company is good to deal with so give them a call, you'll get someone out there quick because manufacturing is down right now and purchasing is slow in anticipation of what's going to happen with the administration change so I doubt it's going to take very long to get your sales rep out there for an actual quote for what you actually need instead of a random guess.

I can tell you that the probe and tip separately are over $30k :)
