AWEA LP-5016

Q: How much does the AWEA LP-5016 cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA LP-5016 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-5016#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the AWEA LP-5016 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

Longest of the four LP-16 machines, the AWEA LP-5016 has 5,000 mm (196.9 in) of X travel over a table that is exactly as long: 5,000 x 1,500 mm (196.9 x 59.1 in). Y travel is 1,600 mm (63.0 in) and Z is 760 mm (29.9 in).

Speed along that length is modest. X rapid is 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm), which is also the top of the 1 ~ 10,000 mm/min (0.04 ~ 394 ipm) cutting feed range, so in X the machine positions no faster than it can cut. Y still moves at 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm) and Z at 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm). On a part with features spread from one end to the other, air moves add up. Programs that finish all the work at one X station before moving on will run noticeably shorter.

Length shows in the accuracy rows as well. VDI positioning is P ≤ 0.040 mm over full travel with Ps ≤ 0.030 mm repeatability; at the short end of the group the LP-2516 lists P ≤ 0.020 mm. The JIS figure of ± 0.015 mm over full travel is the same for all four. AWEA offers spindle thermal compensation as an option on the control, which is worth asking about for long cycles.

The table carries 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) and the machine weighs 36,000 kg (79,365 lb). AWEA's SP line ends with the SP-4016 at 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X, so for a 1,600 mm bridge of this length the LP is the only listing. If the parts are wider than they are heavy, the LP-5021 has 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of Y and weighs 41,000 kg (90,388 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

5,000 mm (196.9 in) of X travel, the longest stroke in the LP-16 group
Table length equals X travel, so the whole 5,000 x 1,500 mm (196.9 x 59.1 in) surface is within reach lengthwise
14,000 kg (30,864 lb) table load
Y rapid remains 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm) despite the long bed
Tools up to 400 mm (15.7 in) long, more than the 350 mm (13.8 in) of the LP-5021

Limitations

X rapid of 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm) is no faster than the maximum cutting feed
P ≤ 0.040 mm positioning under VDI, the widest figure of the four LP-16 models
36,000 kg (79,365 lb) to move, place and support on a foundation
Just 1,500 mm of table width for 5,000 mm of length

Best For

Guide rails, beams and machine beds close to 5,000 mm long Gang setups of repeated parts along the X axis Long weldments up to 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) Work where 6,000 rpm and BT50 tooling are enough

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How fast does the LP-5016 travel in X?

Rapid traverse in X is 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm). The LP-4016 lists 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) and the LP-3016 lists 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm), so X speed falls step by step as the bed gets longer. Y at 20,000 mm/min and Z at 15,000 mm/min are unchanged through the group.

02 Is there an SP model with the same travel as the LP-5016?

No. The longest SP in AWEA's list is the SP-4016, which has 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel and a 4,200 x 1,500 mm (165.4 x 59.1 in) table. For 5,000 mm (196.9 in) of X with 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y, the LP-5016 is the model AWEA lists.

03 How does the LP-5016 compare with the LP-5021?

Same X travel, different width. The LP-5021 has 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of Y, a 5,020 x 2,010 mm (197.6 x 79.1 in) table and a 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) load, and weighs 41,000 kg (90,388 lb). The LP-5016 has 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y, carries 14,000 kg (30,864 lb), weighs 36,000 kg (79,365 lb) and has the faster Y rapid, 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm) against 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm).

04 What keeps a 5,000 mm X axis accurate?

AWEA describes a one-piece base with 4 guide ways that is enlarged in proportion to the travel, an X-axis ball screw placed in the centre of the axis, and a vibration absorber on the long ball screw. The stated result for this length is P ≤ 0.040 mm over full travel and Ps ≤ 0.030 mm under VDI.

05 Which tools fit the LP-5016 magazine?

The magazine has 32 pockets as standard and 40 as an option. Tool diameter is limited to Ø127 mm (Ø5.0 in), or Ø215 mm (Ø8.5 in) when the neighbouring pockets are left empty. Length may reach 400 mm (15.7 in) and weight 20 kg (44 lb). The taper is BT50 (ISO50), with DIN69871-A as the alternative.
