Energy Savings

The Datron Model M7 with a 1.8 kwatt spindle draws approximately 1.0 kwatt hour. Calculated on 60% power consumption, a continuous 40 hour work week at an average state rate of $0.1472 per kwatt; the M7 costs approximately $197 a month to power. Compare this to a similar, small 20hp conventional cnc machine rated at 7 kwatt hours; it would cost approximately $1,385 per month to power. Based on these numbers, you would save approximately $72,480 in just five years.
