The AWEA VP-1050 is a used vertical machining center — sometimes referred to as a VMC — a machine tool designed for precision milling, drilling, boring, and tapping of metal and other rigid materials. AWEA is a Taiwanese machine tool manufacturer with a long-standing presence in the production of vertical and horizontal machining centers serving industries such as aerospace, automotive, mould-making, and general engineering.
Two units of this machine are available, both located in Portugal and dating from 1999. The control system fitted is a Heidenhain TNC 530, a conversational CNC well regarded for its ease of use in complex contouring work, and the machine also references a Fanuc O-M CNC type in the seller's data. The spindle runs to a maximum speed of 6,000 rpm and accepts BT40 taper tooling, a widely used standard in mid-range vertical machining centers. Spindle power is rated at 15 kW, with an overall electrical demand of 40 kVA.
The work envelope is defined by an X-axis stroke of 1,050 mm, a Y-axis stroke of 600 mm, and a Z-axis travel of 505 mm. The table measures 1,300 × 600 mm, offering generous workholding area for medium to large components. Machine weight is 7,500 kg, reflecting a robust, heavily constructed base suited to demanding cutting conditions.
Tool changing is handled by an automatic tool changer with a capacity of 21 tools, allowing extended unmanned machining cycles without manual intervention. At 7,500 kg and with a 15 kW spindle, this is a substantial mid-range vertical machining center well suited to production and jobbing environments.
