How much does the AWEA LP-4033YF cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA LP-4033YF 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
The AWEA LP-4033YF is the shortest of the wide 5-face bridge machines in the LP-F range: 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel, 3,900 mm (153.5 in) of Y and 760 mm (29.9 in) of Z, with 3,500 mm (137.8 in) between the columns. The F in the name stands for the equipment that makes it a 5-face machine. An automatic head storage magazine with two cabinets holds a horizontal head and the spindle cap, and a vertical / horizontal ATC system loads tools into either.
Compare it with the LP-4033 to see what the 5-face version changes. The LP-4033 lists 3,300 mm (129.9 in) of Y travel as standard; here the figure is 3,900 mm. The table is the same 4,020 x 2,400 mm (158.3 x 94.5 in), so the ram can run far past both long edges of the table, which is where a horizontal head has to stand to cut the flanks of a part. Coolant capacity rises too, from the LP-4033's 750 liter tank to 1,000 liter.
Of the three YF sizes on this bridge width, the 4,000 mm machine is the quick one. X rapid is 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm), where the LP-5033YF and LP-6033YF drop to 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm). The cutting feed range, 1 ~ 10,000 mm/min (0.04 ~ 394 ipm), is also double the upper limit of its two longer brothers. Accuracy follows the same order: P ≤ 0.030 mm over full travel and Ps ≤ 0.025 mm under the VDI standard are the tightest figures in the group.
The spindle is a BT50 unit with a 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) motor and 6,000 rpm. Direct drive spindles of 8,000 rpm or 10,000 rpm are the listed alternatives. Table load is 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), and the machine itself weighs 44,000 kg (97,002 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X rapid of 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm), against 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm) on the LP-5033YF
- Cutting feed up to 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm), the highest in the 33YF group
- 3,900 mm (153.5 in) of Y travel over a 2,400 mm (94.5 in) wide table leaves room for a horizontal head on both sides
- Positioning accuracy P ≤ 0.030 mm over full travel under VDI, the tightest of the three YF sizes
- 1,000 liter coolant tank, where the LP-4033 carries 750 liter
Limitations
- Z travel is 760 mm (29.9 in) and the spindle nose reaches no higher than 960 mm (37.8 in) above the table; the LP-4033YZF gives 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z
- Y rapid is 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm), slower than the 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) of the LP-4033YZF
- Table load stops at 15,000 kg (33,069 lb); the LP-5033YF takes 18,000 kg (39,683 lb)
- Only direct drive spindles appear as options in the table, with 165 N-m at 1,500 rpm, so there is no listed step up in torque

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The head changer and the vertical / horizontal tool changer are part of the machine, and the travels are set for them. Y travel is 3,900 mm (153.5 in) against 3,300 mm (129.9 in) standard on the LP-4033, and the coolant tank is 1,000 liter against 750 liter. The table, 4,020 x 2,400 mm (158.3 x 94.5 in) for 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), and the 3,500 mm (137.8 in) between columns are the same on both.
02
AWEA describes an automatic head storage magazine with two cabinets, one for the horizontal head and one for the spindle cap. The heads slide on linear guide ways for the exchange. Each cabinet has its own swing door that opens only during a change, which keeps chips and coolant out of the stored head.
03
The distance from spindle nose to table runs from 200 mm to 960 mm (7.9 ~ 37.8 in), with 760 mm (29.9 in) of Z travel. Tool length, up to 350 mm (13.8 in), and any fixture height come off that. For taller work the LP-4033YZF has 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z and a nose-to-table distance of 200 ~ 1,200 mm (7.9 ~ 47.2 in).
04
The standard ATC holds 32 tools, with 60, 90 and 120 positions listed as options. A tool may be up to 350 mm (13.8 in) long and 20 kg (44 lb). Diameter is Ø127 mm (Ø5.0 in) with neighbouring pockets filled and Ø215 mm (Ø8.5 in) with them empty.
05
If the parts fit, the shorter machine moves faster and holds tighter figures. Its X rapid is 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) and its positioning accuracy P ≤ 0.030 mm, where the LP-5033YF lists 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm) and P ≤ 0.040 mm. At 44,000 kg (97,002 lb) it is also lighter than the LP-5033YF, which weighs 48,000 kg (105,820 lb).
