How much does the AWEA BM-1020II cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA BM-1020II 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
One metre of X travel on box ways: the AWEA BM-1020II moves 1,020 mm (40.2 in) in X, 650 mm (25.6 in) in Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) in Z. The table measures 1,120 x 650 mm (44.1 x 25.6 in) and is rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).
A useful way to read this machine is against the AF-1060II. Both weigh 6,900 kg (15,212 lb), both place the spindle center 710 mm (28.0 in) from the column, and both have the same Y and Z strokes. What differs is how they move and cut. The AF-1060II rides on linear guide ways, rapids at 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) and spins a 12,000 rpm direct-drive spindle. The BM-1020II slides on box ways at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) and is listed with a belt-drive 8,000 rpm spindle. It also carries more on the table than the 700 kg (1,543 lb) of the AF-1060II.
So the BM-1020II is the pick for heavier parts and harder cuts in the one-metre class. AWEA lists the spindle motor at 7.5 / 11 kW (10.1 / 14.8 hp) and the taper as BT40 with BT50 optional. Cutting feed is 1 - 15 m/min (39 - 591 ipm).
The rest is common to the BM-II models: a 24-tool arm type changer, tools up to 250 mm (9.8 in) long, positioning accuracy of 0.008 mm, repeatability of 0.006 mm, a FANUC Oi -MF Plus control and a 25 kVA supply. AWEA offers 30T and 40T arm type magazines for the series as well.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) table rating in a one-metre-class machine
- Box way construction on X, Y and Z for heavy-duty cutting
- 1,020 mm (40.2 in) by 650 mm (25.6 in) of X and Y travel
- 30T and 40T arm type magazines offered for the series beside the standard 24-tool unit
- BT50 spindle taper available as an option
Limitations
- Belt-drive spindle limited to 8,000 rpm, against 12,000 rpm on the AF-1060II
- X and Y rapids of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) lengthen cycles with many short moves
- Standard magazine limits tools to 7 kg (15 lb) and Ø75 mm with full pockets
- Spindle motor rated 7.5 / 11 kW (10.1 / 14.8 hp), modest for heavy roughing

02
1,020 mm (40.2 in) in X, 650 mm (25.6 in) in Y and 610 mm (24.0 in) in Z. The distance from spindle nose to table top is 125 ~ 735 mm (4.9 ~ 28.9 in) and from spindle center to column 710 mm (28.0 in).
03
The specification table lists a 24 T magazine. AWEA states that the BM-II series uses a 24T arm type ATC and that 30T and 40T arm type tool magazines are also offered. Tool limits in the table are 250 mm (9.8 in) in length and 7 kg (15 lb) in weight.
04
The FANUC Oi -MF Plus, with FANUC αi absolute AC servo motors driving the axes directly. AWEA's i Console functions for the series include adaptive feed control, which monitors spindle load to adjust feed rate, and an optional spindle thermal compensation.
