Frequently Asked Questions: AWEA AF-1600II

How much does the AWEA AF-1600II cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA AF-1600II 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-1600ii#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

How many tools does the AWEA AF-1600II hold?

AWEA's table lists a tool magazine capacity of 30 T for the AF-1600II, where the other AF models list 24 T. Maximum tool length is 250 mm (9.8 in), maximum weight 8 kg (18 lb), and maximum diameter Ø75 mm, or Ø150 mm with adjacent pockets empty. The magazine is attached to the column.

Is the AF-1600II available with a BT50 spindle?

The specification table shows BT40 only for the AF-1600II, while the AF-1400II and the AF-1600MAX are shown as BT40 with BT50 optional. AWEA describes a 6,000 rpm BT50 gear spindle for the series and asks buyers to check applicable models with the sales representative, so confirm before assuming it can be ordered on this machine.

What are the table dimensions and load of the AF-1600II?

The table is 1,700 x 740 mm (66.9 x 29.1 in) with seven T-slots, 18 mm wide at a 100 mm pitch, and it carries 1,450 kg (3,197 lb). Travels are 1,600 mm (63.0 in), 740 mm (29.1 in) and 610 mm (24.0 in) in X, Y and Z.

How does the AF-1600II compare with the AF-1600MAX?

X travel is the same at 1,600 mm (63.0 in). The AF-1600MAX has 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and Z, a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) table load, 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) X and Y rapids and weighs 16,000 kg (35,273 lb). The AF-1600II is lighter at 8,600 kg (18,959 lb), moves at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) and has the 30-tool magazine.
