Accuway UL-20M

Q: How much does the Accuway UL-20M cost?

The price estimate for the Accuway UL-20M 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/accuway-ul-20m#price; the request is passed to Accuway or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Accuway UL-20M that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Accuway UL-20M is a box-way lathe with live tools and half a metre of turning length. Its figures: 625 mm (24.6 in) of Z travel, a 500 mm (19.7 in) turning length, a 180 mm (7.1 in) turning diameter and rotary tools at 6,000 rpm.

Among the four UL models this is the one for shaft-like parts with milled detail, such as a motor shaft with a keyway, a spindle with cross-drilled oil holes or a threaded rod with wrench flats. The tailstock, with 400 mm (15.7 in) of body travel and a 150 mm (5.9 in) quill stroke, can hold the free end while the live tool cuts. All such features lie on the centreline, because no Y axis is listed.

The turning diameter deserves a check against the work. At 180 mm (7.1 in) it is much less than the 455 mm (17.9 in) swing over bed suggests, since the BMT/VDI turret and its tools set the limit. Chucks of 6 in and 8 in are tabled, with bar capacity of 44 mm (1.7 in), 52 mm (2.0 in) or 65 mm (2.6 in).

Power is 11/15 kW (14.8/20.1 hp) at the spindle and 3.7/5.5 kW (5.0/7.4 hp) at the rotary tools. The machine weighs 3,500 kg (7,716 lb), the heaviest of the UL group, and measures 2.7 x 1.5 x 1.75 m (106.3 x 59.1 x 68.9 in). Rotary tool holders for the UL-20M are on the optional list.
