Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA MEGA5 G8037 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 G8037 is a gantry type 5-axis machining center with 8,000 mm (315.0 in) of X travel, a length AWEA's fixed-bridge MEGA5 P range does not reach: its longest model, the MEGA5 P6032, stops at 6,000 mm (236.2 in). Y travel is 3,700 mm (145.7 in) and Z is 1,200 mm (47.2 in).
What does the cutting is a two-axis head, and the choice of head shapes the machine more than its length does. The TCH-30F is the high torque version. Its B-axis fork is cast in GGG40 iron, the spindle is HSK-A100 at 12,000 rpm with a 40 / 50 kW (53.6 / 67.1 hp) built-in motor, and AWEA quotes 314 Nm at 1,540 rpm. That is a roughing head for steel and cast iron. The TCH-20F is the compact version with a 55 kW motor and up to 24,000 rpm, the better match for aluminium structures and finishing with small cutters. Both swing B and C on direct drive motors, with two motors on the B axis, and both clamp hydraulically for cuts at a fixed angle.
Head choice also changes the daylight. The spindle nose sits 200 ~ 1,400 mm above the table with the TCH-30F and 355 ~ 1,555 mm with the TCH-20F.
Over 8,000 mm the VDI figures are P = 0.040 mm for full travel and Ps = 0.030 mm. The table is 8,000 x 3,800 mm (315.0 x 149.6 in), and the machine weighs 104,500 kg (230,379 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 8,000 mm (315.0 in) of X travel, beyond the 6,000 mm (236.2 in) of the longest fixed-bridge model, the MEGA5 P6032
- TCH-30F head with a GGG40 B-axis fork and 314 Nm at 1,540 rpm for heavy cutting
- Alternative TCH-20F head with a 55 kW motor and up to 24,000 rpm
- Direct drive B and C axes with hydraulic clamping and absolute encoders as standard equipment
- Spindle reaches its working temperature within 10 minutes from a cold start, by AWEA's statement
Limitations
- P = 0.040 mm and Ps = 0.030 mm under VDI, wider than the P = 0.035 mm and Ps = 0.026 mm of the MEGA5 G6037
- The table gives figures for the TCH-30F only; data for other head options have to be requested from AWEA
- Z rapid is 10 m / min, half the X rapid of 20 m / min
- At 104,500 kg (230,379 lb) it needs a substantial foundation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It depends on the material. AWEA calls the TCH-30F its high torque series and states a maximum of 314 Nm at 1,540 rpm; the specification table lists it with HSK-A100, 12,000 rpm and 40 / 50 kW (53.6 / 67.1 hp). The TCH-20F is the compact structure series with a 55 kW motor and a maximum speed up to 24,000 rpm. Heavy cuts in ferrous material favour the first, light alloys and fine finishing the second.
02
By direct drive motors, which AWEA describes as zero backlash. The B axis has two motors. A hydraulic clamping system locks the axes for heavy cutting at fixed angles, cross roller bearings carry the load, absolute encoders are standard equipment, and the head has an integrated water cooling circuit.
03
Under VDI, P = 0.040 mm over full travel and Ps = 0.030 mm. Under JIS, ± 0.010 mm over full travel and ± 0.003 mm repeatability. For comparison, the MEGA5 G6037 lists P = 0.035 mm and the MEGA5 G10037 lists P = 0.050 mm, so the VDI figure follows the X length.
04
No. AWEA lists coolant through spindle (CTS) as optional on the MEGA5 heads. The coolant tank of the G8037 holds 1,600 liter, and the machine needs an air supply of 6 ~ 8 kg/cm².
05
8,000 x 3,800 mm (315.0 x 149.6 in) with 28 x 200 mm T-slots, rated at 2,500 kg/m². The largest workpiece AWEA lists is 8,000 mm (315.0 in) long, 3,700 mm (145.7 in) wide and 1,050 mm (41.3 in) high.
