The price estimate for the AWEA BL-2018S 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-2018s#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
1,308 Nm (965 lb-ft). AWEA states that the 2-step gear box provides this maximum under 189 rpm, and that top speed is 2,400 rpm. The motor behind it is rated 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP).
The BL-2018S. It has the Ø120 mm quill and 1,308 Nm (965 lb-ft), and AWEA labels the S spindle for parts processing. The BL-2018FM uses a ram with a built-in 6,000 rpm spindle and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft), which the maker labels for mold processing. Travels, table and magazine match.
W is the quill extension: 600 mm (23.6 in) of travel at a rapid rate of 5,000 mm/min (197 ipm). Its feed system combines a ball screw with linear guide ways. AWEA notes that the extension can be set to suit the kind of processing.
Two augers and a caterpillar type chip conveyor are standard, and the coolant tank holds 400 liter. A splash guard enclosure is offered as an option. The operator room is fully enclosed as standard and moves with the column.
Yes. The rotary table is 1,600 x 1,800 mm (63.0 x 70.9 in) and its B-axis has a closed loop rotary encoder with an indexing resolution of 0.001˚. A disc type holding mechanism locks the position, per AWEA's feature page.
