How much does the AWEA RG5-3225 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the AWEA RG5-3225 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 RG5-3225 has the biggest table of the maker's AG5 and RG5 gantry five-axis machines: 3,200 x 2,500 mm (126.0 x 98.4 in), fixed to the base, under travels of 3,200 mm (126.0 in) in X, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) in Y and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Z. Nothing under the workpiece moves. The cross beam travels along a U-shaped base with dual linear guide ways on each side.
Because the table is fixed, its rating is given per area, 2,500 kg/m², and the T-slots (28 x 200 mm) are finished at the factory after the machine has been set up and its geometry adjusted. For large fixtures that is useful: the slots are aligned to the axes as built.
Stretching the X axis has two effects on the figures. X rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm), down from 24 m/min (945 ipm) on the RG5-1625, while Y and Z keep 24 m/min (945 ipm). And X accuracy under the VDI standard is P = 0.025 mm with Ps = 0.018 mm repeatability, where the RG5-1625 is listed at P = 0.016 mm and Ps = 0.012 mm. AWEA fits one linear scale on each column so the two sides of the gantry are measured separately and kept parallel.
The head is a fork type two axes unit in GGG40 cast iron, offered as the TCH-20F with an HSK-A63 spindle at 24,000 rpm and 42 / 55 kW, or as the TCH-20F-A with an HSK-A100 spindle at 15,000 rpm and 50 / 65 kW. On a table this size the heavier head is worth a look, since big steel dies and structural parts are what fill it. The machine weighs 45,000 kg (99,206 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,200 x 2,500 mm (126.0 x 98.4 in) fixed table, the largest of the AG5 and RG5 models
- T-slots are finished after machine set up and geometric adjustment, so they are aligned to the axes
- One linear scale on each column keeps the long X axis parallel
- HSK-A100 head with 50 / 65 kW at 15,000 rpm available for heavier cutting
- Up to Ø180 mm (Ø7.1 in) tool diameter and 400 mm (15.7 in) tool length in the 24 T magazine
Limitations
- X rapid of 20 m/min (787 ipm) is a third of the 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on the linear motor AG5-3220
- X positioning accuracy widens to P = 0.025 mm, from P = 0.016 mm on the RG5-1625
- 45,000 kg (99,206 lb) machine weight calls for a prepared foundation
- Z travel is 1,000 mm (39.4 in), no more than on the RG5-1625, and the head starts 200 mm (7.9 in) above the table
- Table load of 2,500 kg/m² is below the 3,000 kg/m² of the AG5-3220

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel goes from 1,600 mm (63.0 in) on the RG5-1625 to 3,200 mm (126.0 in), and the table grows to 3,200 x 2,500 mm (126.0 x 98.4 in). X rapid drops from 24 m/min (945 ipm) on the RG5-1625 to 20 m/min (787 ipm). Machine weight rises from the 35,000 kg (77,160 lb) of the RG5-1625 to 45,000 kg (99,206 lb). Y, Z, heads, magazine and tanks are the same.
02
The table load is given as 2,500 kg/m², a distributed rating for a fixed table of 3,200 x 2,500 mm (126.0 x 98.4 in). AWEA calls it a heavy load fixed type work table. Since the rating is per area, check concentrated loads such as a tall die block on a small footprint against it.
03
The X axis has one linear scale on each column, and the cross beam rides on a U-shaped base with dual linear guide ways on each side. Listed X figures under the VDI standard are P = 0.025 mm and Ps = 0.018 mm. JIS values are ± 0.010 mm positioning and ± 0.003 mm repeatability over full travel. Hollow ball screw cooling for X and Y is described as an option.
04
Slower in traverse. The RG5-3225 rapids at 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Y and Z. The AG5-3220, with linear motors, is listed at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) in X and Y. What the RG5-3225 gives in return is 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y against the 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of the AG5-3220, and the HSK-A100 head option.
05
Spindle nose to table distance is 200 ~ 1,200 mm (7.9 ~ 47.2 in) over the 1,000 mm (39.4 in) Z travel. With the spindle axis horizontal, its center is 510 ~ 1,510 mm (20.1 ~ 59.4 in) from the table. Tools can be up to 400 mm (15.7 in) long, which has to be counted into that clearance.
