How much does the AWEA HVM-4018 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA HVM-4018 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
Long, narrow work is the case for the AWEA HVM-4018. This five-face bridge type machining center pairs 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel with the narrowest cross-section in the HVM series: a 4,020 x 1,500 mm (158.3 x 59.0 in) table, 1,800 mm (70.9 in) between the columns and 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y travel. Z is 1,000 mm (39.3 in).
Two siblings bracket it. The HVM-3018 shares the cross-section but stops at 3,060 mm (120.5 in) of X and carries 10,000 kg (22,000 lb); the 4018 raises the table rating to 12,000 kg (26,400 lb). The HVM-4025 has an identical X stroke and table rating, with a 4,020 x 2,010 mm (158.3 x 79.1 in) table and 2,500 mm (98.4 in) between the columns. For beams, rails and frames that never approach 1,800 mm in width, the wider machine adds nothing they can use.
Bed length costs traverse speed. X rapid is 15,000 mm/min (590.6 IPM), against 20,000 mm/min (787.4 IPM) on the HVM-3018, while Y and Z keep 15,000 / 10,000 mm/min (590.6 / 393.7 IPM). Positioning accuracy is listed as ± 0.015 mm (± 0.0006 in) over full travel, with repeatability of ± 0.003 mm (± 0.0001 in).
Plan the installation around a listed length of 11,000 mm (433 in), a width of 6,100 mm (240 in), a height of 5,600 mm (220 in) and a machine weight of 49,000 kg (107,800 lb). The magazine holds 60 tools and can be ordered with 90 or 120.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel in the narrow 1,800 mm (70.9 in) column frame
- 12,000 kg (26,400 lb) table load, up from 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) on the HVM-3018
- Y rapid of 15,000 mm/min (590.6 IPM); the HVM-4032 lists 12,000 mm/min for Y
- Positioning accuracy of ± 0.015 mm (± 0.0006 in) stated over full travel
- Width of 6,100 mm (240 in), the narrowest footprint among the 4,000 mm machines
Limitations
- Table is only 1,500 mm (59.0 in) wide; the HVM-4025 gives 2,010 mm (79.1 in) on equal X travel
- X rapid of 15,000 mm/min (590.6 IPM) is slower than the 20,000 mm/min (787.4 IPM) of the HVM-3018
- Listed length of 11,000 mm (433 in) is greater than the 10,480 mm (413 in) of the HVM-4025
- Weighs 49,000 kg (107,800 lb), which the foundation and the delivery route both have to carry

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Both have 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel and a 12,000 kg (26,400 lb) table rating. The HVM-4018 has a 4,020 x 1,500 mm (158.3 x 59.0 in) table, 1,800 mm (70.9 in) between the columns and is 6,100 mm (240 in) wide. The HVM-4025 has a 4,020 x 2,010 mm (158.3 x 79.1 in) table, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) between the columns and is 6,775 mm (267 in) wide. If no part exceeds the smaller opening, the 4018 takes less bay width.
02
X rapid is 15,000 mm/min (590.6 IPM). Y and Z rapids are 15,000 / 10,000 mm/min (590.6 / 393.7 IPM). The cutting feed range is 1 ~ 10,000 mm/min (0.04 ~ 393.7 IPM).
03
Positioning accuracy is ± 0.015 mm (± 0.0006 in) over full travel and repeatability is ± 0.003 mm (± 0.0001 in). The positioning figure covers the whole stroke, so it applies to the full 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X as well as to Y and Z.
04
A BT 50 (7 / 24) spindle driven by a 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) motor. The distance from spindle nose to table is 200 ~ 1,200 mm (7.9 ~ 47.2 in) as standard, with 400 ~ 1,400 mm (15.7 ~ 55.1 in) as an option. The table on this page carries no spindle speed row, so ask AWEA for the speed ranges.
