How much does the AWEA LP-5025 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA LP-5025 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-5025 stretches the LP bridge to 5,000 mm (196.9 in) of X travel while holding Y at 2,500 mm (98.4 in). Its table measures 5,020 x 2,400 mm (197.6 x 94.5 in) and is rated for 18,000 kg (39,683 lb).
Length costs speed at this size. X rapid traverse is 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm), against 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) on the LP-4025 and 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm) on the LP-3025. Y and Z stay at 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm). On a part that needs many moves along the full table, the non-cutting time is therefore noticeably longer than on the shorter machines, and it is worth ordering the programs so that work is finished zone by zone.
Tooling follows the same logic. A 32-tool magazine is standard, with 60, 90 and 120 tool magazines as options. Each tool may be up to 350 mm (13.8 in) long and 20 kg (44 lb), with a diameter of Ø127 mm, or Ø215 mm when the adjacent pockets are empty. Large face mills for a 5 m plate therefore take neighbouring pockets out of use, which is a reason to look at the bigger magazines.
AWEA's i console software is aimed at long unattended cuts. A tool loading monitor watches each tool and detects breakage. Adoptive feed control ( AFC ), which adjusts the feed rate from the spindle load, is an option, as are CNC parameter optimization and spindle thermal compensation. An optional automatic tool length measurement routine handles up to 12 tools from one button.
The machine weighs 45,000 kg (99,206 lb) and uses a BT50 spindle on a 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) motor, 6,000 rpm as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
AWEA's table lowers the X rapid as the travel grows: 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm) on the LP-3025, 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) on the LP-4025 and 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm) on the LP-5025 and LP-6025. The maker fits a ball screw vibration absorber to reduce the vibration of the long screw. Y and Z rapids are 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm) on all of them.
02
The standard magazine holds 32 tools; 60, 90 and 120 tool versions are optional. Maximum tool diameter is Ø127 mm with neighbouring pockets filled and Ø215 mm with them empty (Ø5.0 / Ø8.5 in). Maximum tool length is 350 mm (13.8 in) and maximum tool weight is 20 kg (44 lb).
03
The i console includes a tool loading monitor that checks each tool setting and detects breakage. Adoptive feed control ( AFC ) reads the spindle load in real time and adjusts the axial feed rate; AWEA lists it as an option together with CNC parameter optimization and spindle thermal compensation. Automatic tool length measurement for up to 12 tools is also optional.
04
Both carry 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) on a 5,020 x 2,400 mm (197.6 x 94.5 in) table. The LP-5025 has 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y and 2,700 mm (106.3 in) between columns, and weighs 45,000 kg (99,206 lb). The LP-5033 has 3,300 mm (129.9 in) of Y and 3,500 mm (137.8 in) between columns, and weighs 49,000 kg (108,025 lb).
