How much does the AWEA MEGA5 G6037 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA MEGA5 G6037 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
Six metres of X is where AWEA's two MEGA5 designs meet, and the AWEA MEGA5 G6037 is the gantry answer at that length: 6,000 mm (236.2 in) of X, 3,700 mm (145.7 in) of Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Z. The fixed-bridge MEGA5 P6032 has the same X travel but moves the table under the bridge. On the G6037 the table is fixed and the gantry travels.
The difference shows in the feed rows. X rapid is 20 m / min here against 10 m / min on the MEGA5 P6032, and the cutting feed rate is 10 m / min against 5 m / min, because a gantry on a rack and pinion drive does not have to accelerate the workpiece. VDI positioning is the same on both, P = 0.035 mm over full travel with Ps = 0.026 mm.
It is also the larger machine in every other direction. The table measures 6,000 x 3,800 mm (236.2 x 149.6 in), with 4,800 mm (189.0 in) between the columns, and it carries 2,500 kg/m². The weight is 84,500 kg (186,287 lb), compared with 60,500 kg (133,377 lb) for the MEGA5 P6032.
Spindle data in the table are for the TCH-30F head: HSK-A100, 12,000 rpm and 40 / 50 kW (53.6 / 67.1 hp). Tools change at a 20 T drum magazine placed outside the machining area, and AWEA offers 40 tools as an option.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X rapid of 20 m / min and a 10 m / min cutting feed rate, against 10 m / min and 5 m / min on the MEGA5 P6032
- Fixed 6,000 x 3,800 mm (236.2 x 149.6 in) table, so heavy parts are not accelerated in X
- Rack and pinion X drive with dual servo motors and dual linear scales
- Y travel of 3,700 mm (145.7 in), more than the 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of the MEGA5 P6032
- Tool change takes place outside the machining area, away from chips and cutting fluid
Limitations
- Weighs 84,500 kg (186,287 lb), well above the 60,500 kg (133,377 lb) of the MEGA5 P6032
- Standard magazine is 20 T where the P6032 lists 40 T
- VDI accuracy of P = 0.035 mm is wider than the P = 0.025 mm of the shorter MEGA5 G4037
- Tools are limited to 350 mm (13.8 in) in length and 15 kg (33 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The MEGA5 P6032 has a moving table of 6,020 x 2,400 mm (237.0 x 94.5 in) rated for 20,000 kg (44,092 lb), a 10 m / min X rapid and a 5 m / min cutting feed rate. The G6037 has a fixed 6,000 x 3,800 mm (236.2 x 149.6 in) table loaded at 2,500 kg/m², a 20 m / min X rapid and a 10 m / min cutting feed rate. Narrow parts within the bridge machine's table fit the P6032; wide or very heavy parts, and work that needs the higher feeds, point to the gantry.
02
20 m / min in X, 15 m / min in Y and 10 m / min in Z, with a cutting feed rate of 10 m / min. The X rapid is the same on every MEGA5 G length, since the gantry is driven by a rack and pinion system and not by a ball screw whose speed falls as it gets longer.
03
Width. The MEGA5 G6047 has 4,700 mm (185.0 in) of Y travel and a 6,000 x 4,800 mm (236.2 x 189.0 in) table, with a Y rapid of 12 m / min and a weight of 119,500 kg (263,448 lb). Against that MEGA5 G6047 figure, the G6037 has 3,700 mm (145.7 in) of Y, a Y rapid of 15 m / min and weighs 84,500 kg (186,287 lb). X and Z travel, spindle and accuracy figures are the same.
04
Yes. Standard Z travel is 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and AWEA lists 1,400 mm as an option. With the TCH-30F head that changes the spindle nose to table distance from 200 ~ 1,400 mm to 200 ~ 1,600 mm. The listed maximum workpiece height is 1,050 mm (41.3 in).
