The price estimate for the AWEA AF-1000 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/awea-af-1000#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
Z travel is 635 mm (25.0 in), and the distance from spindle nose to table top ranges over 100 ~ 735 mm (3.9 ~ 28.9 in). Maximum tool length is 250 mm (9.8 in), so with the longest tool in the spindle there is still room for a tall part or fixture underneath.
They overlap in X travel but differ elsewhere. The AF-1000 has 550 mm (21.7 in) of Y, 635 mm (25.0 in) of Z, 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) X and Y rapids and 0.006 mm positioning accuracy. The AF-1060II has 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y, 610 mm (24.0 in) of Z, 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) rapids, 0.008 mm positioning accuracy and a BT50 option. Pick by part width, height and tolerance.
AWEA rates the 1,200 x 550 mm (47.2 x 21.7 in) table at 700 kg (1,543 lb). The table has five T-slots, 18 mm wide on a 100 mm pitch. The AF-800II below it carries 500 kg (1,102 lb) and the AF-1250II above it carries 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).
The listed power requirement is 30 kVA, with a pneumatic supply of 6 kg/cm². The coolant tank holds 360 liter. AWEA says an optional high pressure coolant chips flush system is available, and that chip augers are fitted across the series in single or triple configurations depending on the model.
