Frequently Asked Questions: AWEA VP-4012

How much does the AWEA VP-4012 cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA VP-4012 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-4012#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Why is the X rapid of the VP-4012 so much lower than on the VP-3012?

AWEA's table simply lists it that way: 10 m/min (394 ipm) for the VP-4012 against 20 m/min (787 ipm) for the VP-3012. The maker gives no reason on the page. What a buyer can take from it is that long X moves on this machine run at feed speed, so cycle estimates should count repositioning time.

How much weight does the VP-4012 table hold?

6,000 kg (13,228 lb), spread over a 4,000 x 1,100 mm (157.5 x 43.3 in) surface. The VP-5012 goes to 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). The table is described by AWEA as rib reinforced.

What is the wider alternative to the VP-4012?

Inside the VP series there is none at this length: the 1,600 mm (63.0 in) Y models end with the VP-3016. The SP-4016 pairs 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X with 1,600 mm of Y, a 4,200 x 1,500 mm (165.4 x 59.1 in) table and a 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) load rating.

Does the VP-4012 share its tool magazine with the shorter models?

Yes. It is listed with 32 tools, optionally 24 or 40, and the same limits: Ø125 mm (Ø4.9 in), or Ø229 mm (Ø9.0 in) next to empty pockets, 350 mm (13.8 in) in length and 15 kg (33 lb) per tool.

Is there a faster-spindle version of this size?

The VP-4012HS has the same travels, table load and 24,000 kg (52,910 lb) weight with a direct-driven spindle at 10,000 rpm and 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp). Its X rapid is also 10 m/min (394 ipm), so the change is in the spindle, not in axis speed.
