AWEA AF-800II

Q: How much does the AWEA AF-800II cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA AF-800II 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-800ii#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the AWEA AF-800II 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

With 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel on a frame that keeps the 510 mm (20.1 in) Y and Z strokes of the AF-650II, the AWEA AF-800II is the stretched version of the smallest AF-II vertical machining center. Its table grows to 860 x 510 mm (33.9 x 20.1 in). Everything else in AWEA's table is unchanged from the shorter machine, including the 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load.

That last point deserves attention. A longer table invites two vises or a longer fixture plate, yet the load rating has not grown with it. Add up workholding and parts before planning a multi-station setup. The machine itself weighs 5,000 kg (11,023 lb).

The spindle is a BT40 direct-drive unit, 12,000 rpm, with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor. Rapid traverse is 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) on X and Y and 32 m/min (1,260 ipm) on Z, and the cutting feed rate tops out at 15 m/min (591 ipm). Is there a reason to step up to the AF-1000 instead? The AF-1000 gives 1,020 mm (40.2 in) of X and 635 mm (25.0 in) of Z, but its X and Y rapids drop to 36 m/min (1,417 ipm). For small parts run in volume, the AF-800II is the quicker machine.

Accuracy figures are 0.006 mm for positioning and 0.005 mm for repeatability, both to ISO230-2. The 24-tool arm type changer takes tools up to 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 7 kg (15 lb). AWEA fits the FANUC Oi - MF PLUS control and lists 25 kVA and 6 kg/cm² of air as the services. Roller type linear guide ways are described for the series, with ball type guide ways selectable to suit the application.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel and an 860 x 510 mm (33.9 x 20.1 in) table without giving up the 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) X and Y rapids
12,000 rpm direct-drive BT40 spindle with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor
ISO230-2 positioning accuracy of 0.006 mm and repeatability of 0.005 mm, tighter than the 0.008 mm and 0.006 mm listed from the AF-1060II upward
Runs on 25 kVA, the lowest power requirement in the AF-II range
Guide ways can be specified as roller type or ball type to match the work

Limitations

Table load stays at 500 kg (1,102 lb) although the table is longer than the AF-650II's
Y travel is 510 mm (20.1 in); wider parts need the AF-1060II with 650 mm (25.6 in)
Z travel of 510 mm (20.1 in) and a 100 ~ 610 mm (3.9 ~ 24.0 in) nose-to-table range limit tall fixtures
No BT50 option appears in AWEA's table for this model

Best For

Two-vise or long-fixture setups for small parts, within 500 kg (1,102 lb) Volume work in aluminium where fast rapids matter more than envelope Plate-type parts up to 800 mm (31.5 in) long Finishing of small mold components at 12,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the work envelope of the AWEA AF-800II?

Travels are 800 mm (31.5 in) in X, 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. The table measures 860 x 510 mm (33.9 x 20.1 in) and is rated for 500 kg (1,102 lb). The distance from spindle center to column is 552 mm (21.7 in), and from spindle nose to table top 100 ~ 610 mm (3.9 ~ 24.0 in).

02 Does the AF-800II carry more weight than the AF-650II?

No. Both are rated for 500 kg (1,102 lb) on the table. The AF-800II offers a longer table, 860 x 510 mm (33.9 x 20.1 in), and 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel, but the load capacity in AWEA's table is the same. The next rating up is 700 kg (1,543 lb) on the AF-1000.

03 How fast are the axes on the AF-800II?

Rapid feed is 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) for X and Y and 32 m/min (1,260 ipm) for Z. The maximum cutting feed rate is 15 m/min (591 ipm). AWEA describes FANUC αi absolute AC servo motors driving the ball screws directly on all three axes.

04 Which control and tool changer come with the AF-800II?

The control is the FANUC Oi - MF PLUS. Tool storage is a 24-tool arm type changer; tools may be 250 mm (9.8 in) long, 7 kg (15 lb) in weight and Ø75 mm in diameter, or Ø150 mm with empty adjacent pockets. A shortcut tool change function is standard according to AWEA.
