Frequently Asked Questions: AWEA BL-4018S

How much does the AWEA BL-4018S cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA BL-4018S 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-4018s#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Which AWEA BL models have 4,000 mm of X travel?

Four: the BL-4018S and BL-4018FM with 1,800 mm (70.9 in) of Y, and the BL-4024S and BL-4024FM with 2,400 mm (94.5 in). S models have the quill and 2,400 rpm gear spindle. The BL-4018FM and BL-4024FM have the ram and a 6,000 rpm built-in spindle.

Why choose the BL-4018S over the BL-4024S?

If parts stay under the 1,800 mm (70.9 in) Y travel, the BL-4018S is 4,515 mm (177.8 in) high and weighs 38,000 kg (83,774 lb). The BL-4024S stands 5,115 mm (201.4 in) and weighs 39,500 kg (87,081 lb). Spindle, table and magazine are alike.

What positioning accuracy does AWEA state for the BL-4018S?

± 0.01 mm over full travel under JIS, with ± 0.003 mm repeatability. Under VDI, P= 0.025 mm over full travel and Ps= 0.018 mm. The VDI values are the widest in the series because this is the longest bed.

What is the distance from spindle nose to table on the BL-4018S?

The table lists 885 mm (34.8 in) from spindle nose to table top. Z travel is 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and the quill extends a further 600 mm (23.6 in) on W.

Where does the operator stand?

In a fully enclosed operator room that AWEA fits as standard and that moves along with the column. An enclosure splash guard around the work area is a separate option.
