The price estimate for the AWEA VP-1612HS 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-1612hs#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
The castings share their dimensions: both list 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X, a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table load and 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) of machine weight. The spindle differs. The VP-1612 has a gear spindle of 6,000 rpm with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor and a BT50 taper as standard. The VP-1612HS has a direct-driven 10,000 rpm spindle, 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) and BBT50.
AWEA states that the modular design accepts either direct-driven or built-in motorized spindles. The maker gives a range of 8,000 ~ 15,000 rpm for direct-driven units and 12,000 ~ 20,000 rpm for built-in ones. The specification table lists the 10,000 rpm direct-driven spindle with BBT50 and names BBT40 as the optional taper.
There is a little room. The table is 1,100 mm (43.3 in) wide and the columns stand 1,300 mm (51.2 in) apart, so a plate or fixture can overhang the table edges slightly before it meets the uprights. Y travel of 1,200 mm (47.2 in) covers the full table width.
The table lists 32 T as standard with 24 or 40 T as options. A tool may be up to Ø125 mm (Ø4.9 in) in diameter, or Ø229 mm (Ø9.0 in) by the second figure the maker prints, up to 350 mm (13.8 in) long and up to 15 kg (33 lb). AWEA describes the changer as an arm type unit inside a full enclosure.
Electrical supply is AC 220 ± 10 %, 60 / 50 Hz, rated at 40 kVA. Compressed air must be held at 5 ~ 7 kg/cm². The lubrication tank holds 4.5 liter. Plan the foundation and rigging for 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) of machine before any workpiece is loaded.
