AWEA LP-4016

Q: How much does the AWEA LP-4016 cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA LP-4016 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-lp-4016#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the AWEA LP-4016 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 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel, the AWEA LP-4016 is the point where the LP-16 line begins to trade axis speed for length. X rapid drops to 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm), down from the 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm) of the LP-3016. Y keeps 20,000 mm/min and Z runs at 15,000 mm/min.

The working envelope is long and narrow. Y travel is 1,600 mm (63.0 in), Z is 760 mm (29.9 in), and the columns stand 1,700 mm (66.9 in) apart. The table measures 4,200 x 1,500 mm (165.4 x 59.1 in) and takes 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).

A screw this long needs help, and AWEA names two measures. The X-axis ball screw sits in the centre of the axis within a wide span symmetrical layout, which the maker says avoids yawing and uneven guide way wear. A ball screw vibration absorber damps the long screw. The accuracy table shows what length still costs: P ≤ 0.030 mm over full travel and Ps ≤ 0.025 mm under VDI. The JIS statement stays at ± 0.015 mm and ± 0.003 mm.

Two siblings are worth checking against the same part drawings. The LP-3021 weighs exactly the same 33,000 kg (72,751 lb) as this machine but puts the mass into width, with 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of Y and a 3,020 x 2,010 mm (118.9 x 79.1 in) table. The SP-4016 has identical travels, table and load in a 28,000 kg (61,728 lb) machine. Part shape decides the first choice; how hard the cuts are decides the second.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel with a 4,200 x 1,500 mm (165.4 x 59.1 in) table
12,000 kg (26,455 lb) table load
Centre-driven X axis with a ball screw vibration absorber for the long screw
33,000 kg (72,751 lb) machine weight, against 28,000 kg (61,728 lb) for the SP-4016 with the same travels
Cutting feed range of 1 ~ 10,000 mm/min (0.04 ~ 394 ipm)

Limitations

X rapid is 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm); the LP-3016 reaches 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm)
VDI positioning widens to P ≤ 0.030 mm over full travel
Only 1,700 mm (66.9 in) between the columns, so wide parts belong on the LP-4021
The magazine is limited to 32 tools, or 40 as an option

Best For

Long, narrow workpieces such as machine beds, rails and press plates Several fixtures set in a row along a 4,200 mm table Steel weldments up to 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) BT50 roughing at up to 6,000 rpm on 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why is the X rapid slower than on the LP-3016?

AWEA lists 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) for the LP-4016 and 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm) for the LP-3016 without giving a reason. A longer ball screw has a lower critical speed, and that is the usual cause on machines of this kind. Y is unaffected and stays at 20,000 mm/min on both models.

02 Should I choose the LP-4016 or the LP-3021?

They weigh the same, 33,000 kg (72,751 lb), so the question is the shape of the work. The LP-4016 gives 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X on a 1,500 mm wide table and carries 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). The LP-3021 gives 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X, 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of Y and 2,300 mm (90.6 in) between the columns, and carries 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).

03 What does the SP-4016 share with the LP-4016?

Nearly the whole capacity block. The SP-4016 lists the same 4,000 mm X, 1,600 mm Y and 760 mm Z travels, the same 4,200 x 1,500 mm table, the same 12,000 kg load and the same 15,000 mm/min X rapid. The SP-4016 weighs 28,000 kg (61,728 lb) against 33,000 kg (72,751 lb), and its spindle nose sits 200 ~ 960 mm (7.9 ~ 37.8 in) above the table.

04 How much room is there between the spindle nose and the table?

The distance runs from 240 mm to 1,000 mm (9.4 ~ 39.4 in), matching the 760 mm Z stroke. Tools may be up to 400 mm (15.7 in) long, so a long boring bar over a tall fixture uses up that height quickly. Check the stack of fixture, part and tool before quoting a job.
