How much does the AWEA MEGA5 G4037 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA MEGA5 G4037 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 MEGA5 G4037 is the shortest of the MEGA5 G gantry type 5-axis machining centers: 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel, 3,700 mm (145.7 in) of Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Z above a 4,000 x 3,800 mm (157.5 x 149.6 in) table. The workpiece stays still. A gantry carries the two-axis B and C milling head over it.
That nearly square table is what sets this size apart. The longer G models stretch X and keep the same Y, which suits beams and spars; this envelope fits compact, bulky parts that fill the table in both directions, such as large mould halves or machine bases. Loading is rated per area at 2,500 kg/m², and the maximum workpiece height is 1,050 mm (41.3 in).
Short travel also brings the tightest positioning figures in the G range. Under VDI AWEA lists P = 0.025 mm over full travel and Ps = 0.018 mm, and both widen with each step up in X length. The JIS values, ± 0.010 mm over full travel and ± 0.003 mm repeatability, do not change with size.
AWEA's table describes the machine with the TCH-30F high torque head: HSK-A100, 12,000 rpm, a 40 / 50 kW (53.6 / 67.1 hp) built-in motor and, by the maker's statement, 314 Nm at 1,540 rpm. The compact TCH-20F head is the alternative, with a 55 kW motor and up to 24,000 rpm. Rapids are 20 m / min in X, 15 m / min in Y and 10 m / min in Z.
At 72,000 kg (158,730 lb) it is the lightest MEGA5 G, yet it is far heavier than the fixed-bridge MEGA5 P4032, which offers the same X travel at 51,500 kg (113,536 lb) with 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of Y.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Tightest VDI figures of the MEGA5 G range: P = 0.025 mm over full travel and Ps = 0.018 mm
- A 4,000 x 3,800 mm (157.5 x 149.6 in) fixed table, close to square, with 3,700 mm (145.7 in) of Y travel
- Choice of two heads: TCH-30F with 314 Nm at 1,540 rpm, or TCH-20F with a 55 kW motor and up to 24,000 rpm
- X rapid of 20 m / min, where the MEGA5 P4032 with the same X travel lists 15 m / min
- Lightest machine of the G series at 72,000 kg (158,730 lb)
Limitations
- Maximum workpiece height is 1,050 mm (41.3 in), less than the 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Z travel
- The standard magazine holds 20 T; the MEGA5 P4032 lists 40 T, which is an option here
- Weighs 72,000 kg (158,730 lb) where the MEGA5 P4032 weighs 51,500 kg (113,536 lb), so the foundation is a larger job
- Coolant through spindle (CTS) is optional, not part of the base machine

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Both have 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel and the HSK-A100 12,000 rpm spindle. The MEGA5 P4032 is a fixed bridge with 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of Y and a 4,020 x 2,400 mm (158.3 x 94.5 in) table rated for 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). The G4037 moves the gantry instead, reaches 3,700 mm (145.7 in) in Y over a 4,000 x 3,800 mm (157.5 x 149.6 in) table and rates the load per area at 2,500 kg/m². It suits parts too wide or too heavy for the bridge machine.
02
AWEA lists ± 0.010 mm positioning over full travel and ± 0.003 mm repeatability under JIS. Under VDI the figures are P = 0.025 mm over full travel and Ps = 0.018 mm. The X axis uses a rack and pinion drive with dual servo motors and dual linear scales, and the head carries absolute encoders as standard equipment.
03
Two B and C axis heads with direct drive motors. The TCH-30F is the high torque head; AWEA states 314 Nm at 1,540 rpm for it, and the specification table is written for this head at 12,000 rpm with HSK-A100. The TCH-20F is the compact head with a 55 kW motor and up to 24,000 rpm. A hydraulic clamping system locks the axes for cutting at fixed angles.
04
With the TCH-30F head the spindle nose to table distance is 200 ~ 1,400 mm, or 200 ~ 1,600 mm with the optional 1,400 mm Z travel. With the TCH-20F it is 355 ~ 1,555 mm. The distance between columns is 4,800 mm (189.0 in), and the listed maximum workpiece height is 1,050 mm (41.3 in).
