How much does the Yawei HLE-2040 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei HLE-2040 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
A four-metre table at moderate power: the Yawei HLE-2040 cuts 4,065 x 2,035 mm (160.0 x 80.1 in) and is offered with 3, 6 or 12 kW. It belongs to Yawei's HLE high-performance series, the line the maker describes as high performance at low running cost.
The figures that change from the HLE-1530 are the ones tied to the table. Worktable load is 1,800 kg (3,968 lb), the X stroke is 4,085 mm (160.8 in) and the Y stroke 2,055 mm (80.9 in). Speed stays at 170 m/min and Z at 300 mm (11.8 in).
Yawei's own range gives two alternatives at this size. The HLX-2040 covers the same cutting range at 200 m/min with 6, 12 or 20 kW. The HLB-2040 runs 140 m/min with a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) table. The HLE sits between them, and it keeps the 3 kW entry option that the HLX-2040 does not list.
Structure is a gantry dual-drive on a high-rigidity bed, annealed for stress relief, which matters for holding ±0.03 mm (±0.0012 in) over a longer axis. The layout dimension is 11,500 x 5,600 x 2,300 mm (452.8 x 220.5 x 90.6 in). The interface includes a cutting parameter library, and the maker points to bright surface cutting for low taper. Listed applications are the electrical, home appliance and lift industries.
