AWEA AF860-APC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER WITH AUTOMATIC PALLET CHANGER

Description

AWEA AF860-APC Vertical Machining Center with Automatic Pallet Changer
The AWEA AF860-APC is a high-performance vertical machining center built for manufacturers who demand speed, precision, and nonstop productivity. Engineered with a dual-pallet automatic pallet changer (APC), this machine enables seamless part loading and unloading while machining continues, maximizing spindle uptime and throughput. With its direct-drive 15,000 RPM spindle, CAT40 BIG-PLUS taper, and up to 25 HP of peak motor output, the AF860-APC handles everything from complex molds to high-precision parts with ease. Rapid axis movement—1,890 IPM on X/Y and 1,260 IPM on Z—is made possible by high-precision linear guideways, delivering both speed and stability.

The AF860-APC features a generous travel range of 33.9" x 23.6" x 23.6" (X/Y/Z) and a 36+1 tool swing arm ATC, ensuring efficient multi-tool operations. Thermal control is managed with an advanced spindle oil chiller and spindle air curtain, ensuring tight tolerances even during extended cycles. Chip management is streamlined with a rear discharge chip auger, coolant wash-down system, and 300 PSI high-pressure coolant. Powered by a user-friendly Fanuc 0i-MF PLUS CNC control, the AF860-APC also includes conversational programming, USB interface, and 200-block AI contour look-ahead.

Ideal for industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, and precision mold production, the AWEA AF860-APC offers a powerful and reliable solution for high-mix, high-volume CNC machining environments.
