Frequently Asked Questions: AWEA BL-3018S

How much does the AWEA BL-3018S cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA BL-3018S 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-3018s#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

How does the BL-3018S compare with the BL-3018FM?

Both have 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X. The BL-3018S has a Ø120 mm quill, 2,400 rpm and 1,308 Nm (965 lb-ft). The BL-3018FM has a 480 x 470 mm ram, 6,000 rpm and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft), and weighs 35,000 kg (77,160 lb) against 34,000 kg (74,956 lb) for the S.

What is the heaviest tool the BL-3018S can change automatically?

25 kg (55 lb) per tool, up to 400 mm (15.7 in) long from the gauge line. Diameter is Ø125 mm (Ø4.9 in), or Ø250 mm (Ø9.8 in) with the adjacent pockets empty. AWEA states a maximum tool magazine load of 600 kg.

What control and drives does the BL-3018S use?

The saved maker pages name FANUC αi series motors driving the ball screws of 3 axes directly and HEIDENHAIN linear scales on those axes. The specification table does not name a control model, so that should be confirmed with AWEA.

How much coolant does the BL-3018S hold?

480 liter. The tank size follows bed length in this series: the BL-2018S has 400 liter and the BL-4018S has 560 liter. The lubrication oil tank is 4.6 liter on all of them.
