Based on the previously introduced definitions, working principles, and types of automatic machine tools, there is a wide price spectrum, with significant differences across equipment categories:
Entry-level / Economical
Small, standard automatic instrument lathes and simple automatic drilling machines generally range from **5,000 to 30,000 RMB**; these are suitable for the low-cost, mass production of simple, small parts.
Mid-range / Mainstream
Conventional CNC automatic lathes and automatic wire-cut EDM machines (medium-speed) typically range from **50,000 to 200,000 RMB**; these represent the mainstream choice for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.
High-end / Precision
Large CNC vertical lathes and high-end machining centers with full closed-loop control can range from **200,000 to over 1 million RMB**; these are suited for high-end manufacturing applications such as aerospace and high-precision mold making.
