How much does the AWEA MCP-8040 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA MCP-8040 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 MCP-8040 is the shortest machine in the MCP moving column range: a bridge type five-face machining center with 8,000 mm (315.0 in) of X travel, 4,400 mm (173.2 in) of Y and 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of Z above a stationary 8,000 x 2,800 mm (315.0 x 110.2 in) table. The part never moves. Both columns carry the cross beam along it.
AWEA sells three machines with an 8,000 mm X stroke in about this width, and the choice starts there. The MVP-8040 is also a five-face machine, with 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of Y, a W axis of 1,250 mm (49.2 in) and a stated table load of 25,000 kg (55,115 lb). The LG-8040 is a gantry with 4,000 mm of Y, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z and an X rapid of 20 m/min (787 ipm). Against both, the MCP-8040 has the longest Y stroke and the tallest standard Z, and it traverses at 10 m/min (394 ipm) on every axis.
Its spindle takes BBT50 tooling and is driven by a 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) motor. An automatic head changer and a two positions ATC system are standard equipment, so side faces can be reached without turning the part over. The 40T magazine rides on the column.
One thing to settle early: the specification sheet for this model gives no table load, no positioning accuracy and no machine weight. Ask AWEA for all three before a foundation is drawn.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,400 mm (173.2 in) of Y travel, more than the 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of the MVP-8040 and the LG-8040
- Automatic head changer and two positions ATC system are standard, not options
- 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of Z as standard, with 1,600 mm listed as an option
- Stationary 8,000 x 2,800 mm (315.0 x 110.2 in) table, so the part's weight is never accelerated
- Tool magazine attached to the column, so X does not have to move for a tool change
Limitations
- No table load is published; the MVP-8040 states 25,000 kg (55,115 lb)
- X rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm) is half the 20 m/min (787 ipm) of the LG-8040
- The table is 2,800 mm (110.2 in) wide under 4,400 mm of Y travel, so the outer Y stroke serves side faces more than table area
- No accuracy or repeatability row in the maker's table for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Both are five-face AWEA machines with 8,000 mm (315.0 in) of X travel. The MCP-8040 has 4,400 mm (173.2 in) of Y and 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of Z over an 8,000 x 2,800 mm table. The MVP-8040 has 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of Y, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z plus a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) W axis, an 8,040 x 3,010 mm (316.5 x 118.5 in) table and a published load of 25,000 kg (55,115 lb).
02
No. The MCP-8040 lists 10 / 10 / 10 m/min (394 / 394 / 394 ipm) for X, Y and Z. The LG-8040 lists 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 15 m/min (591 ipm) in Y. The MCP's case is five-face capability and a Z stroke of 1,400 mm against the 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of the LG-8040, not traverse speed.
03
The vertical spindle row is printed without a unit. It reads 4,000 for the standard gear spindle, 5,000 / 6,000 for the optional gear spindles and 8,000 / 12,000 for the optional built-in spindles. Taper is BBT50 and the motor is 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) in every case shown.
04
The table lists a power requirement of 220 ± 10 % Vac / 80 kVA and pneumatic pressure of 5 ~ 8 (5) kg/cm². The coolant tank holds 3,400 liter, the hydraulic tank 100 liter and the lubrication tank 6 liter. Machine weight and footprint are not in the specification table, so they have to come from AWEA with the foundation drawing.
