The price estimate for the AWEA BL-4018FM 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-4018fm#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
Under VDI, yes: P= 0.025 mm positioning and Ps= 0.018 mm repeatability, against P= 0.016 mm and Ps= 0.012 mm on the BL-2018FM. Under JIS the stated values are identical for all lengths, ± 0.01 mm over full travel and ± 0.003 mm.
39,000 kg (85,979 lb). That is heavier than the quill-type BL-4018S at 38,000 kg (83,774 lb) and lighter than the taller BL-4024FM at 40,500 kg (89,286 lb). Machine height is 4,515 mm (177.8 in).
No. The table gives 12,000 mm/min (472 ipm) for X, Y and Z on every BL model, and 5,000 mm/min (197 ipm) for W. AWEA describes ball screws driven directly by FANUC αi series motors on 3 axes.
The foundation for a 39,000 kg (85,979 lb) machine, a 70 kVA supply, air at 5 ~ 8 (5) kg/cm², and headroom for 4,515 mm (177.8 in). Also confirm the table rating: the specification table shows 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), while the feature page states 12,000 kg with 15,000 kg as an option.
