How much does the Accuway UV-55EC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Accuway UV-55EC 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
A BMT turret with servo mechanical drive is what the Accuway UV-55EC adds to the small vertical turning frame. The base model carries a hydraulic BOT turret. Here the tooling system row reads BMT, and the options list includes 0 degree and 90 degree rotary tool holders, which is the hardware for drilling and milling on a turned part without a second machine.
One caution belongs next to that. The spec table for this model prints no rotary tool speed or power, so the figures for live tooling have to come from Accuway before a milling operation is planned around them.
Capacity is 550 mm (21.7 in) in turning diameter and 550 mm (21.7 in) in length, on a 750 mm (29.5 in) swing. The A2-8 spindle turns 2,500 rpm on 15/18.5 kW (20.1/24.8 hp) with a belt drive, and the chuck is listed as 12 (15) in. X and Z travels are 295 mm (11.6 in) and 550 mm (21.7 in), with rapids of 20 m/min (787 in/min) and 7 m/min (276 in/min).
The turret has 12 stations for 25 mm (1.0 in) square and 40 mm (1.6 in) round shanks. Guideways are linear, the weight is 5,300 kg (11,684 lb), and the FANUC 0i-T control comes with a 10.4" monitor. Among the standard accessories are a chip conveyor with chip cart and a tool kit; an auto door and a Heidenhain linear scale are optional.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It has a BMT turret with servo mechanical drive, and 0 degree and 90 degree rotary tool holders are optional accessories. The specification table does not print a rotary tool speed or power for the UV-55EC, so ask Accuway for those figures.
02
A2-8 spindle nose, belt drive, 2,500 rpm and a 15/18.5 kW (20.1/24.8 hp) motor on continuous and 30 min ratings. The chuck diameter row reads 12 (15) in. A gearbox appears among the options.
03
12 stations. Square tool shanks are 25 mm (1.0 in) and round shanks 40 mm (1.6 in). The tooling system is BMT and the turret driven type is servo mechanical, against the hydraulic BOT turret of the UV-55E.
04
The machine dimension row gives 2.3 x 3.0 x 3.0 m (90.6 x 118.1 x 118.1 in), L x W x H, with a net weight of 5,300 kg (11,684 lb). The chip conveyor and chip cart are included as standard accessories.
