How much does the AWEA LP-6033 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA LP-6033 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
A 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) workpiece, 6,000 mm (236.2 in) long and too wide for the narrower LP bridges: that is the job the AWEA LP-6033 is sized for. It has 3,300 mm (129.9 in) of Y travel, 3,500 mm (137.8 in) between the columns and a 6,020 x 2,400 mm (237.0 x 94.5 in) table.
20,000 kg is where the LP table rating stops. The LP-5033 is rated for 18,000 kg (39,683 lb), this machine for 20,000 kg, and the LP-7033 for the same 20,000 kg on a table a metre longer. Machine weight keeps climbing regardless: 49,000 kg (108,025 lb) for the LP-5033, 57,000 kg (125,661 lb) here, 66,000 kg (145,503 lb) for the LP-7033. Foundation planning has to add the part to those figures.
The base carries that load on 4 guide ways in a one-piece casting that AWEA enlarges with the travel, so the table stays supported along its whole stroke. Drive comes from a ball screw in the centre of the X axis, fitted with a vibration absorber. X rapid traverse is 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm).
One detail of the accuracy table deserves attention. The LP-6033 is listed at P ≤ 0.050 mm positioning accuracy over full travel and Ps ≤ 0.035 mm repeatability under VDI. The longer LP-7033 is listed tighter, at P = 0.040 mm and Ps = 0.030 mm. If positioning over the full length decides the order, ask AWEA what feedback system each figure assumes.
The head is the series' BT50 unit with a 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) motor and 6,000 rpm as standard.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) table load, the highest rating in the LP series
- 6,000 x 3,300 mm (236.2 x 129.9 in) of X and Y travel with 3,500 mm (137.8 in) between columns
- One-piece base on 4 guide ways, enlarged in proportion to the travel
- 57,000 kg (125,661 lb) machine weight, against 66,000 kg (145,503 lb) for the LP-7033 with the same table load
- Optional Y travel of 4,000 mm
Limitations
- VDI positioning accuracy of P ≤ 0.050 mm over full travel, wider than the P = 0.040 mm listed for the LP-7033
- 57,000 kg (125,661 lb) machine weight before the workpiece is added
- X rapid traverse of 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm) over a 6,000 mm (236.2 in) stroke
- The table is 2,400 mm (94.5 in) wide although the Y travel is 3,300 mm (129.9 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
20,000 kg (44,092 lb) on a 6,020 x 2,400 mm (237.0 x 94.5 in) table. The LP-5033 is rated for 18,000 kg (39,683 lb); the LP-7033 and the LP-6025 match the LP-6033. AWEA supports the table on a one-piece base with 4 guide ways to avoid overhang at the ends of the travel.
02
The table gives P ≤ 0.050 mm and Ps ≤ 0.035 mm (VDI) for the LP-6033, and P = 0.040 mm and Ps = 0.030 mm for the LP-7033. The LP-6033 page does not explain the difference, so it should be raised with AWEA before ordering if full-travel positioning is critical.
03
The LP-6033 weighs 57,000 kg (125,661 lb); the LP-6025 weighs 50,000 kg (110,229 lb). Table size and table load are the same on both. The extra weight belongs to the wider bridge: 3,500 mm (137.8 in) between columns against 2,700 mm (106.3 in) on the LP-6025.
04
By a ball screw placed in the centre of the axis. AWEA calls this a wide span symmetrical center-driven design and says it avoids yawing and uneven guide way wear. A ball screw vibration absorber is fitted to reduce the vibration of the long screw. X and Y run on roller type linear guide ways.
