The price estimate for the AWEA VP-3012 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-3012#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.
The table gives X positioning accuracy of 0.016 mm and X repeatability of 0.012 mm. Y and Z are listed at 0.012 mm and 0.010 mm. AWEA describes a semi-closed loop system in which the encoder is connected directly to the ball screw end.
Both weigh 20,000 kg (44,092 lb), so the question is the shape of the work. The VP-3012 has 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X on a 1,100 mm wide table and carries 4,500 kg (9,921 lb). The VP-2016 has 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X with 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y, a 1,500 mm wide table, 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) of load and a 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) motor.
The HD-3012 covers the same 3,000 mm (118.1 in) by 1,200 mm (47.2 in) area with a 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) gear spindle, a table load of 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) and a weight of 22,500 kg (49,603 lb). The Z rapid of the HD-3012 is 15 m/min (591 ipm), slower than the 20 m/min (787 ipm) here.
According to AWEA, the bridge and base are a one-piece casting with hand scraped contact surfaces, and the joint between columns and bed is hand scraped too. X and Y use linear guide ways, with the Y-axis ways offset from each other to shorten the distance between spindle and cross beam. Z runs on a hardened, ground box way.
