AWEA AF-1250II

Q: How much does the AWEA AF-1250II cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA AF-1250II 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-af-1250ii#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the AWEA AF-1250II 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 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) table rating is the reason to look at the AWEA AF-1250II. This BT40 vertical machining center has 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of X travel, 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) of Z, and its 1,350 x 650 mm (53.1 x 25.6 in) table carries more than the 700 kg (1,543 lb) of the AF-1060II, which shares its Y and Z dimensions.

From this size upward AWEA mounts the tool magazine directly on the column. The maker's stated reason is stability: a column-mounted magazine keeps tool change precision and reduces vibration. The changer itself is a 24-tool arm type, with tools limited to 250 mm (9.8 in) in length and 7 kg (15 lb).

Despite the heavier table the machine stays fast. Rapid feed is 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) in X and Y and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z, identical to the AF-1060II. The direct-drive spindle turns 12,000 rpm on an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor, and BT50 is listed as an option. Accuracy is 0.008 mm positioning and 0.006 mm repeatability under ISO230-2.

Installation figures move up a step compared with the smaller machine: 35 kVA of power, a 380 liter coolant tank and a weight of 7,500 kg (16,534 lb). Air is 6 kg/cm². The control is the FANUC Oi-MF PLUS.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Table load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) on a 1,350 x 650 mm (53.1 x 25.6 in) table
1,250 mm (49.2 in) of X travel with 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) X and Y rapids
Tool magazine attached directly to the column, which AWEA says steadies tool changes from this model upward
BT50 offered as an option to the standard BT40 direct-drive 12,000 rpm spindle
Z rapid of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm)

Limitations

Y travel remains 650 mm (25.6 in); only the AF-1600II and the MAX models go wider
Power requirement rises to 35 kVA from the 30 kVA of the AF-1060II
The 24-tool magazine limits tools to 7 kg (15 lb), light for a machine with a one-tonne table
Spindle motor is the same 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) as on the smallest AF model

Best For

Steel fixtures and parts up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) Long plates and rails within 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of X Mold bases needing fast positioning between features Multi-vise production setups along a 1,350 mm table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much weight can the AWEA AF-1250II table carry?

AWEA lists a table load capacity of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). The table is 1,350 x 650 mm (53.1 x 25.6 in) with five T-slots, 18 mm wide on a 100 mm pitch. The AF-1060II, with the same Y and Z travel, is rated for 700 kg (1,543 lb).

02 What are the travels of the AF-1250II?

X is 1,250 mm (49.2 in), Y is 650 mm (25.6 in) and Z is 610 mm (24.0 in). The spindle center sits 710 mm (28.0 in) from the column, and the spindle nose to table distance is 125 ~ 735 mm (4.9 ~ 28.9 in).

03 Where is the tool magazine mounted on the AF-1250II?

On the column. AWEA states that on models from the AF-1250II to the AF-1800MAX the tool magazine is directly attached to the column, which increases stability and keeps tool change precision while reducing vibrations. The magazine holds 24 tools and a shortcut tool change function is standard.

04 What does the AF-1250II need for installation?

A 35 kVA power supply and compressed air at 6 kg/cm². The machine weighs 7,500 kg (16,534 lb) and the coolant tank holds 380 liter. AWEA describes the coolant tank as independent of the machine base for easier maintenance.
