The price estimate for the AWEA MCP-18060 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-18060#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
Rapid feed rate is 10 / 10 / 10 m/min (394 / 394 / 394 ipm) for X, Y and Z. Cutting feed rate is 1 ~ 10 m/min (39 ~ 394 ipm). The figures are identical on every length of the 6,400 mm group, so the 18,000 mm (708.7 in) machine is no slower per metre than the MCP-8060; it simply has further to go.
No. AWEA states that the tool magazine is attached to the column, which eliminates the need to move the X-axis for tool changes. The magazine holds 40T as standard, 60T as an option, with tools up to 400 mm (15.7 in) long and 20 kg (44 lb).
The table is 18,000 x 4,800 mm (708.7 x 189.0 in) and does not move, so there is room for more than one fixture along its length. Whether an operator may work at one end while the columns cut at the other is a safety and enclosure question that the specification table does not address. Raise it with AWEA before planning a process around it.
Not quite. The MCP-20060 has 20,000 mm (787.4 in) of X travel and a 20,000 x 4,800 mm (787.4 x 189.0 in) table. The MCP-18060 is the second longest of the group. Narrower machines of equal length exist too: the MCP-18050 with 5,400 mm (212.6 in) of Y and the MCP-18040 with 4,400 mm (173.2 in).
