The price estimate for the AWEA VP-2012 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-2012#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
All four share 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Y. The VP-2012 has a gear spindle at 6,000 rpm and 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp). The VP-2012HS has a direct-driven spindle at 10,000 rpm. The VP-2012HSS has a BT 40 spindle listed at 10 ~ 15,000 rpm. The HD-2012 keeps 6,000 rpm with 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) and a 4,500 kg (9,921 lb) table.
3,500 kg (7,716 lb) on a 2,000 x 1,100 mm (78.7 x 43.3 in) table. AWEA describes the working table as rib reinforced to restrain vibration. For heavier pieces on the same footprint, the HD-2012 is rated for 4,500 kg (9,921 lb).
The VP-2012 column of AWEA's table lists only the gear spindle at 6,000 rpm, with BT50 standard and BBT50 optional. The maker's spindle page for the series shows three heads: the 6,000 rpm gear spindle and direct drive units at 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm. The faster heads appear in the tables of the HS and HSS models.
Up to Ø125 mm (Ø4.9 in) with neighbouring pockets filled, or Ø229 mm (Ø9.0 in) with them empty. Length is limited to 350 mm (13.8 in) and weight to 15 kg (33 lb). Long boring bars need checking against that length before the job is quoted.
It depends on part width. The VP-2016 has 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y, a 2,000 x 1,500 mm (78.7 x 59.1 in) table and 1,800 mm (70.9 in) between columns, with a 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) motor and 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) of machine weight. If the work stays within a 1,100 mm wide table, the VP-2012 covers it on a lighter machine.
