The price estimate for the AWEA AF-1800MAX 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-1800max#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
X travel is 1,800 mm (70.9 in), Y travel 800 mm (31.5 in) and Z travel 800 mm (31.5 in). The table is 1,900 x 800 mm (74.8 x 31.5 in). Spindle nose to table top distance is 160 ~ 960 mm (6.3 ~ 37.8 in), and the spindle center is 903 mm (35.6 in) from the column.
1,800 kg (3,968 lb), the highest in the AF series. The AF-1600MAX is rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). The table has five T-slots, 18 mm wide and 150 mm apart, for clamping long fixtures.
The frame is: 18,000 kg (39,683 lb), four saddle guideways, an extended bed. The standard spindle is less so, a direct-drive 12,000 rpm BT40 unit with 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp). AWEA lists BT50 as an option and describes a 6,000 rpm BT50 gear spindle with a 15 kW motor and 382 Nm at 375 rpm for heavy cutting. Check with AWEA that it applies to this model.
The listed power requirement is 40 kVA and the pneumatic pressure requirement is 6 kg/cm². The coolant tank holds 660 liter. With a machine weight of 18,000 kg (39,683 lb), the foundation and the route into the building need checking before delivery.
