AWEA VP-1612 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: AWEA VP-1612

How much does the AWEA VP-1612 cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA VP-1612 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-vp-1612#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

How big a workpiece fits on the VP-1612?

The table measures 1,600 x 1,100 mm (63.0 x 43.3 in) and is rated for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The columns stand 1,300 mm (51.2 in) apart, which sets the widest part that can pass under the bridge. Travels are 1,600 mm in X, 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in Y and 760 mm (29.9 in) in Z.

Is the VP-1612 faster than the longer VP machines?

In X, yes against the long ones. The VP-1612 rapids at 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X, which the VP-2012 matches. The VP-3012 drops to 20 m/min (787 ipm) and the VP-5012 to 8 m/min (315 ipm). Y and Z rapids are the same across those models.

What separates the VP-1612 from the VP-1612HS?

The spindle. The VP-1612 has a gear spindle at 6,000 rpm with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor and a BT50 taper. The VP-1612HS is listed with a direct-driven spindle at 10,000 rpm, 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) and BBT50. Travels, table and the 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) weight are the same on both.

Which guide ways does the VP-1612 use?

AWEA states linear guide ways on the X and Y axes and a box way on Z that is hardened and precisely ground for heavy-duty cutting. Roller type linear guide ways on Z are named as an option tied to the high speed direct drive spindle.

What does the VP-1612 need from the shop?

A three-phase supply of 40 kVA and compressed air at 5 ~ 7 kg/cm². The coolant tank holds 465 liter and the hydraulic unit 8 liter. The floor has to take a machine weight of 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) plus up to 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) on the table.
