A 5'X10' AXYZ Automation machine sells for that approximate price range. They are in Canada and their quality machines are simple, robust and very capable. www.axyz.com 1-800-361-3408. ....good folks to deal with.

Sorry but they build a piece of crap. I own one and for 3 years (yes YEARS) they have been promising to fix the problems and by problems I mean things like air drills that have never operated from day one, not minor details...NEVER OPERATED!!
The staff for the most part are good, their hands are tied by one of the managing owners who is the shady used car saleman type. Once you've paid he couldn't care less.
The main problem is their controllers are antiquated and the firmware for them is a joke. Every time the programmers want to change or add a feature they have to take something else out because the firmware ROM is full.
I finally gave up and had all new aftermarket hardware and software installed (PC based controller) now the machine works fine. 3 Years and AXYZ couldn't (or wouldn't) fix it...3 months and it's working...now that AXYZ is no longer involved.
Take my advice...avoid AXYZ...or at the very least, holdback 50% until the machine is completely working the way you want it to...
