High Speed Bridge Type Machining Center

The AWEA VP-HS series high speed bridge type machining centers are designed for high precision parts as required by the mold industry. we implement cutting-edge R&D techniques and stringent assembly procedures in the construction of the VP-HS series, making its mechanical rigidity, machining accuracy, and productivity superior.

The modular design allows for either direct-driven spindles or built-in motorized spindles to provide flexibility for different working conditions.

Super rigid roller type linear guide ways on the X、Y、Z axes offer heavy-duty cutting, fast movement, and low abrasion capabilities.

The high quality extension splash door design makes loading and unloading of the workpiece very convenient for operators.

X / Y / Z axes travel

Spindle speed：Direct-driven spindle    8,000 ~ 15,000 rpm
                          Built-in motorized spindle   12,000 ~ 20,000 rpm

X / Y / Z axes rapid feed rate： 24*1 / 24 / 20 m/min.   *1 : Slightly different according to model size

High Rigidity Structure

The Finite Element Analysis ( FEA ) provides the means to optimize the machine design and create a light-weight yet extremely rigid machine structure.

The structural designs of bridge and base have been optimized. The contact surfaces are precision hand scraped to ensure optimum assembly precision, utmost structural integrity, and enhanced load distribution.

The spindle heads' wide span symmetrical design, with the X-axis' ball screw placed at the center line of the axial movement, provides high precision axial feeding features and avoids yawing problems, as well as uneven wear of the guide ways, encountered in other machines due to their eccentric drive system design.

Brand new Z-axis drive system

Due to the powerful servo motor and the strengthened ball screw the Z-axis does not require a counter balance system. The design significantly improves the dynamic response and makes the VP-HS Series ideal for high precision mold making.

Optimum Spindle System

The stepped offset design of the Y-axis guide ways increases the structural integrity and reduces the distance between the spindle center and the cross beam, which further enhances overall rigidity and cutting performance.

Unique spindle head design, with the main spindle, spindle motor, and ball screw all symmetrically placed to preventing distortion and minimizing deflection, thereby ensuring accuracy and heavy cutting capability.

BBT Type Spindle Taper

The VP-HS series are equipped with a BBT Dual Contact Spindle to meet the needs of long time high speed cutting accuracy. The BBT Dual Contact Spindle ensures both taper and face of the tool holder and spindle are securely coupled to maintain high speed cutting rigidity.

Spindle Specifications

Long Nose Spindle

The optional long nose spindle combined with a shorter tool will increase rigidity and accuracy significantly. Recommended for groove milling and boring.

Highly Reliable ATC System

All machines are equipped with an arm type ATC and a 40T magazine to accommodate various processing needs.

24T / 32T magazines are available on request.

The optimized tool change function shortens the tool change time and increases efficiency.
