The price estimate for the AWEA BL-3018FM 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-3018fm#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
X travel goes from 2,000 mm (78.7 in) on the BL-2018FM to 3,000 mm (118.1 in). Against the BL-2018FM, weight rises from 31,000 kg (68,342 lb) to 35,000 kg (77,160 lb), the coolant tank from 400 liter to 480 liter, and VDI positioning widens from P= 0.016 mm to P= 0.020 mm. Table, spindle, magazine and height are unchanged.
No. Every BL model has a 1,600 x 1,800 mm (63.0 x 70.9 in) table. The longer bed gives more X stroke past the table, not a bigger table surface.
AWEA's spindle page gives maximum torque output of 600 N-m under 350 rpm for the built-in spindle, with a top speed of 6,000 rpm and 8,000 rpm as an option. The specification table lists the torque as 600 Nm (443 lb-ft).
The maker states that the heavily ribbed bed, column, table, head stock and saddle are all MEEHANITE castings that go through annealing and aging. The structure was designed with Finite Element Method analysis.
