Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA AF-1060II 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 AWEA AF-1060II opens the mid-size group of the AF-II vertical machining centers. Travels are 1,060 mm (41.7 in) in X, 650 mm (25.6 in) in Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) in Z over a 1,200 x 650 mm (47.2 x 25.6 in) table. It is the first AF model for which AWEA's table lists a BT50 spindle as an option beside the standard BT40.
Three machines share this casting size. The AF-1250II and AF-1400II keep the same Y, Z, column reach of 710 mm (28.0 in) and rapids, and only lengthen X. Of the three, the AF-1060II has the lowest table load at 700 kg (1,543 lb) and the lowest weight at 6,900 kg (15,212 lb). It also needs 30 kVA, where the AF-1250II and AF-1400II need 35 kVA.
Movement is quick for this class. X and Y traverse at 48 m/min (1,890 ipm), and Z at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), which is faster in Z than any other group in the range. Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.008 mm and repeatability as 0.006 mm to ISO230-2. The standard spindle is direct-drive, 12,000 rpm, 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp).
For heavier cutting AWEA describes gear spindles for the series: an 8,000 rpm BT40 unit with 280 Nm at 375 rpm, and a 6,000 rpm BT50 unit with a 15 kW motor and 382 Nm at 375 rpm. Gear spindles come with a box way Z-axis. AWEA asks buyers to confirm with the sales representative which models these apply to, so treat them as something to ask about, not as part of the base machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y travel matched to a 650 mm deep table, 100 mm more than the AF-1000
- Fastest Z rapid in the AF-II range at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), with 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) in X and Y
- BT50 listed as an option alongside the standard BT40 taper
- Needs only 30 kVA, less than the AF-1250II and AF-1400II on the same frame size
- Direct-drive 12,000 rpm spindle rated 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp)
Limitations
- Table load is 700 kg (1,543 lb); the AF-1250II on the same Y and Z carries 1,000 kg (2,205 lb)
- Positioning accuracy of 0.008 mm is looser than the 0.006 mm listed for the AF-1000
- Z travel of 610 mm (24.0 in) is shorter than the 635 mm (25.0 in) of the AF-1000
- Gear spindle availability for this model has to be confirmed with AWEA

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X, Y and Z travels are 1,060 mm (41.7 in), 650 mm (25.6 in) and 610 mm (24.0 in). The table is 1,200 x 650 mm (47.2 x 25.6 in) and carries 700 kg (1,543 lb). The spindle is a direct-drive 12,000 rpm unit, BT40 as standard with BT50 optional, and the machine weighs 6,900 kg (15,212 lb).
02
AWEA's table gives the taper as BT40 with BT50 as an option. For the series, AWEA describes a 6,000 rpm BT50 high torque gear spindle with a 15 kW motor and 382 Nm at 375 rpm, and states that gear spindles are equipped with a box way Z-axis. Which models can take it is something AWEA asks buyers to confirm with their sales representative.
03
The AF-1250II has 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of X travel, a 1,350 x 650 mm (53.1 x 25.6 in) table and a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) load rating. Y and Z travel, rapids, spindle and accuracy figures are the same as on the AF-1060II. The AF-1250II weighs 7,500 kg (16,534 lb) and needs 35 kVA.
04
Positioning accuracy is 0.008 mm and repeatability is 0.006 mm, both stated to ISO230-2. AWEA attributes the axis performance to roller type linear guide ways, dual-nut ball screws and FANUC αi absolute AC servo motors driving the screws directly.
