The price estimate for the AWEA MCP-18040 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-mcp-18040#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
With the Z-axis fully raised the spindle nose is 2,200 mm (86.6 in) above the table top; fully lowered it is 800 mm (31.5 in) with the standard 1,400 mm (55.1 in) Z travel. The usable part height is less than 2,200 mm once tool length, and any attachment head, are subtracted. Tools can be up to 400 mm (15.7 in) long.
When the same machine has to cut both tall and low parts. The option extends the nose range to 600 ~ 2,200 mm from the standard 800 ~ 2,200 mm (31.5 ~ 86.6 in), so the gain is entirely at the bottom of the stroke. The top position stays the same.
It sits in a U-shaped saddle with reinforced front structures that fully surrounds it, guided by four linear guide ways with ten sliding blocks. AWEA states that the design reduces distortion and keeps accuracy when the headstock is fully extended. No stiffness or accuracy value is given in the specification table for this model.
The MCP-16040 has 16,000 mm (629.9 in) of X and the MCP-20040 has 20,000 mm (787.4 in). Y travel, Z travel, spindle, magazine, tanks and power requirement are identical on all three. For more width at the same length, the MCP-18050 has 5,400 mm (212.6 in) of Y and the MCP-18060 has 6,400 mm (252.0 in).
