Frequently Asked Questions: AWEA VP-3012HS

How much does the AWEA VP-3012HS cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA VP-3012HS 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-3012hs#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Does the longer bed make the VP-3012HS less accurate than the VP-2012HS?

Not according to the published rows. Both machines list VDI positioning of P ≤ 0.02 mm over full travel and repeatability of Ps ≤ 0.015 mm, and both list ± 0.010 mm and ± 0.003 mm by the JIS method. The difference between them is the X rapid: 20 m/min (787 ipm) here against 24 m/min (945 ipm) on the VP-2012HS.

What weight can the VP-3012HS table support?

4,500 kg (9,921 lb) across a 3,000 x 1,100 mm (118.1 x 43.3 in) surface. If the job weighs more, the HD-3012 is rated at 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) on the same table size, though it runs a gear spindle at 6,000 rpm instead of this machine's 10,000 rpm.

What is the long nose spindle option for?

AWEA says an optional long nose spindle, combined with a shorter tool, increases rigidity and accuracy, and recommends it for groove milling and boring. The idea is to reach into a pocket with the spindle housing itself, so the cutter can be kept short. It is an option and should be confirmed at order.

How tall a part clears the spindle on the VP-3012HS?

Distance from spindle nose to table runs 200 ~ 960 mm (7.9 ~ 37.8 in), and Z travel is 760 mm (29.9 in). Tool length comes off that daylight, and the magazine accepts tools up to 350 mm (13.8 in). Between the columns there is 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of width for the workpiece to pass.

Which guide ways does the VP-3012HS use?

Roller type linear guide ways on X, Y and Z, per AWEA's description of the series. The Y-axis ways are arranged in a stepped offset, which the maker says raises structural integrity and brings the spindle center closer to the cross beam.
