How much does the AWEA LP-6021 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA LP-6021 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
With 6,000 mm (236.2 in) of X travel, the AWEA LP-6021 is the longest machine of the LP-21 group. Its table is 6,020 x 2,010 mm (237.0 x 79.1 in) and takes 18,000 kg (39,683 lb), and the machine itself weighs 45,000 kg (99,206 lb).
At this size the base becomes a transport question. AWEA describes a one-piece base with 4 guide ways and adds that a base for X-axis travel longer than 6,000 mm may be made in two sections because of transport limits. The LP-6021 sits exactly on that mark, not past it. Ask the maker in writing how the base of your machine ships, and plan the foundation and the rigging route for a 45,000 kg delivery either way.
Accuracy over such a stroke is stated openly. P ≤ 0.050 mm over full travel and Ps ≤ 0.035 mm under VDI are the widest values in the group; the LP-3021 lists P ≤ 0.025 mm. Under JIS the figures are ± 0.015 mm over full travel and ± 0.003 mm repeatability. A vibration absorber on the long ball screw and optional spindle thermal compensation are the maker's answers to length and heat.
X rapid is 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm), the same as on the LP-5021, while Y and Z move at 15,000 mm/min (591 ipm). Y travel is 2,100 mm (82.7 in) with 2,500 mm optional, and Z is 760 mm (29.9 in) with longer strokes optional.
The spindle is the series standard: 6,000 rpm, 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP), BT50, with gear, built-in and direct drive alternatives up to 10,000 rpm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 6,000 mm (236.2 in) of X travel on a 6,020 x 2,010 mm (237.0 x 79.1 in) table
- 18,000 kg (39,683 lb) table load, the highest in the LP-21 group
- X rapid holds at 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm), no lower than on the LP-5021
- Ball screw vibration absorber and a centre-driven X axis for the long stroke
- Work-piece and tool length measurement functions on the control, the automatic tool length routine being optional
Limitations
- P ≤ 0.050 mm and Ps ≤ 0.035 mm under VDI, the widest accuracy figures of the group
- 45,000 kg (99,206 lb) machine weight, with foundation and rigging to match
- Travel sits at the 6,000 mm mark AWEA names for possible two-section bases
- Y is 2,100 mm (82.7 in) as standard; the LP-6025 gives 2,500 mm (98.4 in) without an option

Frequently Asked Questions
01
AWEA describes the LP base as a one-piece structure with 4 guide ways, enlarged in proportion to the travel so the table does not overhang. It adds that X-axis travel longer than 6,000 mm may be built in two sections because of transport limits. The LP-6021 has 6,000 mm (236.2 in) of X travel, right at that limit, so confirm the construction when ordering.
02
The VDI values widen with every step in X. The LP-3021 lists P ≤ 0.025 mm, the LP-4021 P ≤ 0.030 mm, the LP-5021 P ≤ 0.040 mm and the LP-6021 P ≤ 0.050 mm over full travel. Repeatability on the LP-6021 is Ps ≤ 0.035 mm. The JIS rows are the same for all four.
03
If parts are wider than the 2,010 mm table or heavier than 18,000 kg, yes. The LP-6025 has 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y as standard, a 6,020 x 2,400 mm (237.0 x 94.5 in) table, a 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) load and a weight of 50,000 kg (110,229 lb). X travel and X rapid are the same on both machines.
04
AWEA's control screens include work-piece measurement and tool length offset. For a circular work-piece, three measured points give the centre point. An automatic tool length measurement routine that handles up to 12 tools from one button is an option. A tool loading monitor checks each tool and detects breakage.
