The price estimate for the AWEA BL-2018FM 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-bl-2018fm#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
It is the ram-type variant with a built-in spindle. AWEA's page titles it "Ram Type Spindle - Mold Processing" and gives 6,000 rpm, with 8,000 rpm as an option, and maximum torque of 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). The S variant, the BL-2018S, has a Ø120 mm quill with a 2-step gear box instead.
Two standards are quoted. Under JIS, positioning is ± 0.01 mm over full travel and repeatability is ± 0.003 mm. Under VDI the figures are P= 0.016 mm and Ps= 0.012 mm. Linear scales from HEIDENHAIN are standard on 3 axes.
The standard magazine is a 40T unit and a 60 tools magazine is an option. A tool may be Ø125 mm (Ø4.9 in) with neighbours in place or Ø250 mm (Ø9.8 in) with adjacent pockets empty, 400 mm (15.7 in) long from the gauge line and 25 kg (55 lb).
Machine height is 4,515 mm (177.8 in) and weight is 31,000 kg (68,342 lb). The table shows no floor dimensions, so the layout drawing has to come from AWEA. The operator room is fully enclosed and travels with the column.
