How much does the Litz AW-1000B cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Litz AW-1000B 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 Litz AW-1000B fits a BBT-50 spindle to the AW-1000 frame. Travels are 1,020 mm (40.2 in), 650 mm (25.6 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, Y and Z, and the spindle is a 12,000 rpm direct-drive unit, a high speed for this taper.
A 50-taper spindle on a one-metre machine is uncommon, and it defines the use. The AW-1000B is for parts that are small in outline but demand large tools: deep cavities cut with long holders, big-diameter face mills on die inserts, heavy boring bars. The changer accepts tools up to 350 mm (13.8 in) long and 15 kg (33 lb).
Litz changes the axis drives to suit. The listing gives 4 / 4 / 7 kW, so the Z axis motor is larger than the 5.5 kW of the AW-1000A, which fits a heavier head and higher thrust loads in drilling and plunging. Machine weight is 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).
The rest is shared with the A model: a 1,120 x 630 mm (44.1 x 24.8 in) table rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), rapids of 36 / 36 / 30 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 1,181 ipm), a 490 L coolant tank and a 35 kVA supply. Spindle power is printed as 15 / 18.5 / 33 kW (20.1 / 24.8 / 44.3 hp). A chip conveyor and chip cart come as standard. The magazine holds 24 tools, with 30T and 40T as options.
