AWEA BM-2100 MAX

Q: How much does the AWEA BM-2100 MAX cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA BM-2100 MAX 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-bm-2100-max#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Overview

With the AWEA BM-2100 MAX the BM series reaches one metre in Y and Z. This box-way vertical machining center travels 2,100 mm (82.7 in) in X and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in each of the other two axes, on a 2,300 x 1,000 mm (90.6 x 39.4 in) table that carries 3,000 kg (6,614 lb).

A saddle with a metre of stroke under a three-tonne table is a hard thing to keep supported on a C-frame. AWEA equips the table base of this model and the BM-2500 MAX with 6 guideways, which the maker says solves the overhang problem and keeps the table fully supported. The spindle center sits 1,100 mm (43.3 in) from the column.

The spindle changes too. BT50 is the only taper listed, and the gear spindle's motor is 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp), the largest in the BM line, at 6,000 rpm. Axis speeds drop again: 15 m/min (591 ipm) for X and Y rapids and 12 m/min (472 ipm) for Z. On a machine built to take long, heavy cuts, positioning time is a small part of the cycle.

Chip handling scales up as well, with five screw type augers on the two largest models according to AWEA's chart. The coolant tank holds 950 liter. Machine weight is 20,000 kg (44,092 lb), and the supply requirement is 40 kVA. The spindle nose can stand between 200 and 1,200 mm (7.9 ~ 47.2 in) above the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How large is the AWEA BM-2100 MAX work envelope?

Travels are 2,100 mm (82.7 in) in X, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Y and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Z. The table is 2,300 x 1,000 mm (90.6 x 39.4 in) with a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) rating. Spindle nose to table top distance is 200 ~ 1,200 mm (7.9 ~ 47.2 in).

02 How is the table supported on the BM-2100 MAX?

AWEA states that on the BM-2100MAX and BM-2500MAX the table base is equipped with 6 guideways to solve the overhang problem and provide full support for rigidity. The maker also describes a double ribbed table design and Bessel-point support of the Y-axis saddle for the series.

03 What spindle power does the BM-2100 MAX have?

The gear spindle motor is rated 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) and the top speed is 6,000 rpm. The taper is BT50. The BM-1800 MAX below it has an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor.

04 What size tools does the BM-2100 MAX accept?

Up to 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 15 kg (33 lb), with a diameter of Ø105 mm in a full magazine or Ø210 mm with the adjacent pockets empty. The standard arm type magazine holds 24 tools; AWEA offers 30T and 40T magazines for the series.
