Accuway UV-55E

Q: How much does the Accuway UV-55E cost?

The price estimate for the Accuway UV-55E 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-uv-55e#price; the request is passed to Accuway or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Accuway UV-55E 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 UV-55E is the small frame of the maker's vertical turning centers: 550 mm (21.7 in) maximum turning diameter, 550 mm (21.7 in) turning length and a 750 mm (29.5 in) swing. With the chuck facing up, a heavy disc or ring is lowered onto the jaws and gravity seats it, which is the reason to choose a vertical lathe for short, wide parts.

The spindle has an A2-8 nose and runs to 2,500 rpm by belt from a 15/18.5 kW (20.1/24.8 hp) motor, continuous and 30 min ratings. The chuck row reads 12 (15) in, and the options confirm the larger one: an upgrade to a non-through hole 3-jaw 15" hydraulic chuck and cylinder. A gearbox is also on the options list for those who need more torque at low speed.

Tooling is a 12-station BOT turret with hydraulic drive, taking 25 mm (1.0 in) square shanks and 40 mm (1.6 in) round ones. A 12 station servo turret is optional. This is a 2-axis machine. For a BMT turret on this frame, Accuway lists the UV-55EC.

X travel is 295 mm (11.6 in) at 20 m/min (787 in/min); Z travel is 550 mm (21.7 in) at 7 m/min (276 in/min). The guideway type is Linear, where the larger UV frames list box ways. At 5,300 kg (11,684 lb) and 2.3 x 3.0 m of floor it is by far the lightest machine in the UV group. A single chain type chip conveyor with chip cart is a standard accessory.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

550 mm (21.7 in) turning diameter on a 2.3 x 3.0 m footprint
2,500 rpm spindle with a 15/18.5 kW (20.1/24.8 hp) motor
Chip conveyor with chip cart and a hydraulic power supply unit are standard accessories
Options include a 15" hydraulic chuck, a gearbox and a 12 station servo turret

Limitations

Hydraulic BOT turret as standard; the servo turret is an option
No rotary tool rows in the table, so no milling on this model
Z rapid traverse is 7 m/min (276 in/min)
Linear guideways, where the UV-75E lists Linear (Box way)

Best For

Discs, flanges and rings up to 550 mm in diameter Brake discs, hubs and similar short chucking parts Shops that need vertical turning in a small footprint 2-axis turning without live tooling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the turning capacity of the Accuway UV-55E?

Maximum turning diameter is 550 mm (21.7 in), maximum turning length 550 mm (21.7 in) and swing over bed 750 mm (29.5 in). X travel is 295 mm (11.6 in) and Z travel 550 mm (21.7 in).

02 What chuck does the UV-55E use?

The chuck diameter row reads 12 (15) in on an A2-8 spindle nose. The optional accessories include an upgrade to a non-through hole 3-jaw 15" hydraulic chuck and cylinder. A hydraulic power supply unit is standard.

03 What is the difference between the UV-55E and the UV-55EC?

The turret. The UV-55E lists a BOT tooling system with a hydraulic turret drive. The UV-55EC lists BMT tooling with a servo mechanical drive, and its options include rotary tool holders. Capacity, spindle, travels and weight are the same.

04 How heavy is the UV-55E?

Net weight is 5,300 kg (11,684 lb) and the machine measures 2.3 x 3.0 x 3.0 m (90.6 x 118.1 x 118.1 in). The next frame, the UV-75E, weighs 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), so the UV-55E is a much lighter installation.
