The price estimate for the AWEA AF-1600MAX 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-1600max#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
Both travel 1,600 mm (63.0 in) in X. The AF-1600MAX has 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and Z, weighs 16,000 kg (35,273 lb), carries 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) and lists a BT50 option. The AF-1600II has 740 mm (29.1 in) of Y, 610 mm (24.0 in) of Z, weighs 8,600 kg (18,959 lb), carries 1,450 kg (3,197 lb) and has a 30-tool magazine.
The table load capacity is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on a 1,700 x 800 mm (66.9 x 31.5 in) table with five 18 mm T-slots at a 150 mm pitch. The AF-1400MAX is rated for 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) and the AF-1800MAX for 1,800 kg (3,968 lb).
Z travel is 800 mm (31.5 in) and the spindle nose to table distance is 160 ~ 960 mm (6.3 ~ 37.8 in). A footnote on AWEA's specification page gives a different range for BT50, so ask for the exact figures when ordering the 50-taper spindle. Maximum tool length is 250 mm (9.8 in).
AWEA lists the FANUC Oi - MF PLUS. The three axes are driven by FANUC αi absolute AC servo motors coupled directly to dual-nut ball screws, according to the maker's description of the series. Positioning accuracy is 0.008 mm and repeatability 0.006 mm (ISO230-2).
