AWEA BM 1200 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machine features a robust table measuring 51.2" x 23.6" capable of supporting a maximum load of 2650 lbs. It provides substantial machining envelope with X-axis travel of 47.2", Y-axis travel of 23.6", and Z-axis travel of 26.8". The spindle nose-to-table distance ranges from 4.92" to 28.5", accommodating a variety of workpiece sizes. The spindle is powered by a 20 HP motor (15 HP continuous) and operates with a dual speed range: low from 65 to 1,500 RPM and high from 1,500 to 6,000 RPM. It employs a CAT 50 spindle taper, known for its heavy-duty rigidity and stability ideal for high-load and precise machining tasks. Tool changes are automated with a 30-position automatic tool changer (ATC), improving efficiency. The machine supports rapid traverse speeds of 945 IPM on the XY axes and 788 IPM on the Z axis, with a cutting feed rate adjustable between 39.4 and 393.7 IPM, suitable for varying material removal rates and precision requirements. Pneumatic pressure required is 85 PSI, with power supplied at 220V ±10%. Cooling is managed by a large 97-gallon coolant tank to ensure thermal stability during extended machining. With an approximate weight of 16,093 lbs, this machine guarantees structural rigidity and vibration resistance. Operational durability is shown by an approximate cutting time of 12,150 hours and total power-on time of 34,306 hours, supporting long-term intensive manufacturing use. This combination of specifications supports heavy-duty milling, complex part manufacturing, and long-cycle production runs with high stability and precision.
