AWEA SP-3016HSS

Q: How much does the AWEA SP-3016HSS cost?

The price estimate for the AWEA SP-3016HSS is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/awea-sp-3016hss#price; the request is passed to AWEA or an authorised dealer.

How much does the AWEA SP-3016HSS cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the AWEA SP-3016HSS 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

Longest of the HSS line, the AWEA SP-3016HSS has 3,060 mm (120.5") of X travel over a 3,260 x 1,500 mm (128.3" x 59.0") table rated for 10,000 kg (22,000 lb). Y is 1,600 mm (63.0"), Z is 760 mm (30.0"), and the spindle is the series' 10 ~ 15,000 rpm BT 40 unit.

Length is the only thing added over the SP-2016HSS. Column spacing stays at 1,700 mm (66.9"), height at 3,890 mm (153"), and the feed, spindle and magazine rows are identical. The machine itself grows from the 6,690 mm (264") of the SP-2016HSS to 8,680 mm (342") long, and the table rating rises from the SP-2016HSS figure of 8,000 kg (17,600 lb). Notably, the accuracy rows do not widen with the longer axis: ± 0.01 mm (± 0.0004") positioning over full travel and ± 0.003 mm (± 0.0001") repeatability, as on the shorter machine.

That makes it a finishing machine for long tooling. A mold or die that fills the table can weigh ten tonnes, yet no tool in the 32-pocket magazine may exceed 7 kg (15 lb), 300 mm (11.8") in length or 102 / 127 mm (4" / 5") in diameter. The 18.5 / 22 kW (25 / 30 HP) motor is sized for the same job. Stock removal on a block this size is the work of the SP-3016, which has the same travels with a 6,000 rpm BT50 spindle, 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP) and 20 kg (44 lb) tools.

On a 3,060 mm stroke the traverse figures matter for cycle time. X and Y rapids are 20,000 mm/min (787.4 IPM), Z is 15,000 mm/min (590.6 IPM), and cutting feed runs from 10 ~ 15,000 mm/min (0.4 ~ 590.6 IPM). Spindle nose to table is 160 ~ 920 mm (6.3" ~ 36.2"). The SP-3016 is listed at 23,500 kg (51,808 lb); AWEA's table for the HSS version states no weight, so ask for it along with the power and air requirements.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

3,060 mm (120.5") of X travel with a 10 ~ 15,000 rpm spindle
10,000 kg (22,000 lb) table load, the highest of the three HSS models
Positioning accuracy of ± 0.01 mm (± 0.0004") over full travel, the same row as the shorter SP-2016HSS
3,260 x 1,500 mm (128.3" x 59.0") table with 1,700 mm (66.9") between the columns
Same 3,890 mm (153") height as the SP-2016HSS, so the longer machine needs no extra headroom

Limitations

8,680 mm (342") long, against 6,690 mm (264") for the SP-2016HSS
BT 40 tools up to 7 kg (15 lb) only; the SP-3016 takes 20 kg (44 lb) tools on BT50
Rapids of 20,000 mm/min (787.4 IPM) in X are the same as on the shorter models, so long traverses take proportionally longer
Tool change time is listed at 12 sec., long for a high speed machine
No machine weight, power or air row in the maker's HSS table

Best For

Long injection molds and stamping dies finished at up to 15,000 rpm Several smaller molds set up in a row along the 3,260 mm table Aerospace-style aluminium plates and beams within 3,060 x 1,600 mm Finishing after roughing on a 50-taper machine such as the SP-3016

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the largest part the SP-3016HSS can take?

The table measures 3,260 x 1,500 mm (128.3" x 59.0") and is rated for 10,000 kg (22,000 lb). The part has to pass between columns set 1,700 mm (66.9") apart, and the spindle covers 3,060 mm (120.5") in X and 1,600 mm (63.0") in Y. Height under the spindle nose is 160 ~ 920 mm (6.3" ~ 36.2").

02 Does accuracy suffer on the longer X axis?

Not according to the table. AWEA gives the SP-3016HSS ± 0.01 mm (± 0.0004") positioning accuracy over full travel and ± 0.003 mm (± 0.0001") repeatability, the same rows it gives the SP-2016HSS with 2,100 mm (82.7") of X. The shorter VP-2012HSS is the only HSS model with a tighter positioning row, ± 0.004 mm (± 0.0002").

03 SP-3016HSS or SP-3016: which one for mold work?

They share travels of 3,060 mm, 1,600 mm and 760 mm. The SP-3016 is the roughing machine: 6,000 rpm, BT50, 22 / 26 kW (30 / 35 HP), tools to 20 kg (44 lb). The SP-3016HSS is the finishing machine: 10 ~ 15,000 rpm, BT 40, 18.5 / 22 kW (25 / 30 HP), tools to 7 kg (15 lb). A shop that buys only one must decide which half of the process it sends elsewhere.

04 How long is the SP-3016HSS and what should be checked before installation?

Machine length is 8,680 mm (342") and height is 3,890 mm (153"). The HSS specification table does not state machine weight, electrical power or air supply. Since the table alone is rated for 10,000 kg (22,000 lb), get the weight and foundation drawing from AWEA before the floor is prepared.
