The price estimate for the AWEA AH-500 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-ah-500#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
The maximum workpiece is Ø700 / 800 mm (Ø27.6 / 31.5 in), diameter and height, on a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) table with a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load capacity. Travels are 780 mm (30.7 in), 670 mm (26.4 in) and 650 mm (25.6 in) in X, Y and Z.
A BBT50 direct drive spindle with 10,000 rpm and a 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) motor is listed in the table. AWEA also describes a 6,000 rpm high torque gear spindle with a 26 kW motor and a maximum torque of 705 N-m at 352 rpm. Coolant through the spindle at 20 bar is optional.
The AH-630 has a 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) table, a 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) load, travels of 1,020 mm (40.2 in), 900 mm (35.4 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in), and weighs 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). The AH-500 is the smaller and faster machine, with 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) X and Z rapids against 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) on the AH-630. Spindle and magazine are the same.
AWEA describes a servo motor driven 180˚ index table that changes pallets in 16 seconds. Pallets are clamped by four hydraulic cylinders on cone seats, and the cone seats are cleaned by air blow with air pressure detection to confirm seating.
Positioning accuracy is P ≤ 0.010 mm over full travel and repeatability is Ps ≤ 0.008 mm, both stated to the VDI standard. The B-axis has a minimum index of 0.001°.
