How much does the AWEA BL-4024FM cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA BL-4024FM 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
At 40,500 kg (89,286 lb), the AWEA BL-4024FM is the heaviest machine in the BL series and the one with the largest envelope: 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X, 2,400 mm (94.5 in) of Y, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Z and 600 mm (23.6 in) of ram travel on W.
Everything that scales in this series is at its maximum here. The coolant tank is 560 liter. Machine height is 5,115 mm (201.4 in). The VDI accuracy rows are P= 0.025 mm and Ps= 0.018 mm. What does not scale is the working table, 1,600 x 1,800 mm (63.0 x 70.9 in), or the 40T tool count, or the 70 kVA supply.
So the purchase question is whether the work really needs both long X and tall Y. If only height is needed, the BL-2024FM offers the same Y on a 2,000 mm (78.7 in) bed and holds P= 0.016 mm. If only length is needed, the BL-4018FM is a lower machine at 4,515 mm (177.8 in) of height. The quill-type BL-4024S matches this envelope and is the pick when torque matters more than the 6,000 rpm of the FM spindle.
AWEA names aerospace, transportation equipment, energy and mold machining as the target industries for the series. Large side faces of such parts are where a ram of 480 x 470 mm section and a BT50 built-in spindle with 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) are put to use. A 60 tools magazine can be ordered for long unattended cycles.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Largest BL envelope: 4,000 x 2,400 x 1,300 mm with 600 mm (23.6 in) of W
- 6,000 rpm built-in spindle across the full envelope
- 60 tools magazine available as an option for long cycles
- 560 liter coolant tank, the largest capacity in the series
- Castings designed with FEM analysis and made in MEEHANITE, per the maker
Limitations
- Heaviest of the series at 40,500 kg (89,286 lb)
- Table is 1,600 x 1,800 mm (63.0 x 70.9 in), far smaller than the X-Y travel
- VDI positioning of P= 0.025 mm over full travel, wider than the BL-2024FM at P= 0.016 mm
- Power requirement is 70 kVA and the height is 5,115 mm (201.4 in)
- Standard magazine holds 40T, modest for a machine of this envelope

01
By envelope the BL-4024FM and the BL-4024S are equal: 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X and 2,400 mm (94.5 in) of Y. By weight the BL-4024FM is larger at 40,500 kg (89,286 lb), against 39,500 kg (87,081 lb) for the BL-4024S.
02
The 1,600 x 1,800 mm (63.0 x 70.9 in) table, Z travel of 1,300 mm (51.2 in), the 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) spindle motor, the 40T magazine, the feed rates and the 70 kVA supply. Only X, Y, weight, height, coolant volume and the VDI accuracy rows change.
03
The series text names aerospace, transportation equipment, the energy industry's large parts and mold machining. The FM spindle section is headed mold processing.
04
Yes, as an option. AWEA lists a standard 40T ATC system and a 60 tools magazine as option. Each tool may weigh up to 25 kg (55 lb), and the magazine as a whole is rated for 600 kg.
