Used AWEA SP3016 CNC Gantry Milling Machine for Production EvaluationThis used AWEA SP3016 CNC Gantry Milling Machine is a large-table, double-column CNC gantry mill with a Fanuc 18i-MB CNC system, 3060 mm X-axis travel, 1600 mm Y-axis travel, 760 mm Z-axis travel, a 3000 x 1500 mm table, and 10,000 kg table load capacity. It is suitable for mold bases, fixture plates, large structural parts, and precision-machined plates used in automotive, aerospace, mold making, medical device tooling, and electronics tooling plants. Stock number 812113 is in stock, available for inspection, and positioned as an immediate capacity upgrade for factories that need a cost-effective used gantry milling machine without waiting for a new build. Core Specifications and What They Mean in Production The AWEA SP3016 is a CNC gantry milling machine built for workpieces that are too large, too heavy, or too wide for a conventional vertical machining center. Its double-column design, long X-axis travel, and wide worktable make it practical for machining long plates, die shoes, mold bases, structural components, and parts with multiple features in a single setup. For procurement and process engineering teams, the key question is not only whether the machine can cut the part, but whether the travel, table size, spindle clearance, and load capacity match the actual production envelope. The 3060 mm X-axis travel supports long workpieces and allows machining across nearly the full length of the 3000 mm table. This is important for mold plates, automotive fixture bases, aerospace panels, and long machine frames where moving the part between operations would add setup time and increase alignment risk. The 1600 mm Y-axis travel is useful for wide plates and tooling blocks, while the 760 mm Z-axis travel provides room for taller workpieces, fixtures, and tool length. The 1700 mm distance between the double columns defines the practical maximum width for the part and fixture passing through the gantry opening. In production planning, this should be checked against the largest raw workpiece size, not only the finished part size. The 200 to 960 mm spindle nose-to-table distance defines the available vertical clearance range. This affects whether the machine can accommodate thick molds, tall fixtures, long cutting tools, or stacked workholding. The 3000 x 1500 mm table and 10,000 kg maximum table load make this Yawei gantry mill suitable for heavy machining setups. Heavy mold bases, die plates, castings, and steel fixtures can be clamped with enough table area for locating blocks and clamps. The 22 / 26 kW main motor power supports milling work where cutter diameter, material hardness, and depth of cut require more power than a smaller machining center can typically provide. Tooling Match and Part Fit A CNC gantry milling machine is often selected when the workpiece footprint is the limiting factor. The AWEA SP3016 should be evaluated against the actual dimensions of your tooling, raw stock, clamps, and required cutter reach. With a 3000 x 1500 mm worktable and 3060 x 1600 mm travel range, it is well suited for large plates, mold bases, press tooling components, and large fixture bodies. The table size can also support several smaller components in one setup when batch flexibility is more important than dedicating the spindle to one small part at a time. Suitable Workpiece and Tooling Examples Automotive: die plates, fixture bases, checking fixture frames, battery tray tooling plates, and large structural machining. Aerospace: aluminum structural plates, fixture tooling, long ribs, and large-format machining setups where X-axis travel is critical. Mold making: plastic mold bases, die shoes, core and cavity support plates, and large insert machining where table load and spindle clearance matter. Medical devices: mold tooling, precision fixture plates, and production tooling for large or multi-cavity components. Electronics: large die sets, fixture plates, heat sink tooling, and precision base plates used in assembly or forming processes. The Fanuc 18i-MB CNC system is a widely used industrial control platform for milling applications. For plants already running Fanuc-based machines, operator workflow, program format, and shop-floor familiarity may be easier to align than with a completely different control environment. The control should still be checked during inspection for program input, axis movement, alarm history, and interface condition. Frequently Asked Questions What does the 3060 mm X-axis travel mean for part selection? The 3060 mm X-axis travel allows the cutter to cover long workpieces close to the full length of the 3000 mm table. It is useful for mold bases, fixture plates, aerospace plates, and long structural components where machining in one setup is preferred over repositioning. Can the Yawei SP3016 handle heavy mold and die components? The machine has a 3000 x 1500 mm table and a maximum table load of 10,000 kg. That makes it suitable for heavy mold bases, die shoes, steel plates, and large fixture bodies, provided the workpiece footprint and clamping method fit the table and gantry opening. How should I judge whether my tooling fits between the columns? Check the 1700 mm distance between the double columns against the widest raw workpiece, not only the finished part. Include side clamps, fixture plates, lifting clearance, and any protruding features when deciding whether the setup can pass safely through the gantry. Why is the 200 to 960 mm spindle nose-to-table distance important? This range defines the vertical working envelope. A tall fixture, thick mold base, long holder, or extended cutter can reduce available clearance. Before purchase, add together the table setup height, workpiece height, tool holder length, cutter length, and required machining depth. Is this used CNC gantry milling machine suitable for mixed production? Yes, if your mixed production includes large plates, tooling bases, molds, fixtures, and structural parts. The SP3016 is best viewed as a versatile all-round machine for factories that need one large-capacity machine to support multiple industries and part families. Is the Yawei SP3016 CNC Gantry Milling Machine in stock? Yes. Stock number 812113 is in stock and available now for inspection and shipment. Send an inquiry with your part size, material, and tooling requirements to evaluate production suitability.

It is suitable for manufacturers machining large plates, mold bases, structural components, aerospace fixtures, automotive tooling, medical equipment plates, and electronics production tooling. Stock No. 812100 is in stock, available now, and ready for immediate shipment, making it a practical option for plants that need large-format machining capacity without waiting for new-machine lead time. Core Specifications and What They Mean in Production The Okuma MCR-A5CII is a CNC gantry milling machine and is also commonly evaluated as a double-column machining center for large workpieces. Its value is not only in the travel figures, but in how those figures affect part envelope, tool access, setup strategy, and production flow. For procurement managers and process engineers, the key question is whether the machine can hold the target workpiece, reach the required faces, and support the necessary tooling without excessive re-clamping. Machine category CNC gantry milling machine / double-column machining center Brand and model Okuma MCR-A5CII Origin Japan Year 2014 X/Y/Z axis travel 4200 x 3100 x 800 mm W-axis travel 1000 mm Table size 2000 x 4000 mm Distance from table surface to spindle nose 1650 mm Maximum spindle speed 10000 rpm Gantry width 2650 mm Floor space 6680 x 10730 mm Machine net weight 37000 kg Tool magazine capacity 60 tools Included configuration Four-axis linear scales, T301 vertical milling head, T302 90-degree vertical milling head, T303BC five-face milling head The 4200 mm X-axis travel and 4000 mm table length support long plates, mold bases, machine frames, and fixture plates that are difficult to process efficiently on smaller vertical machining centers. The 3100 mm Y-axis travel and 2650 mm gantry width are important when reviewing wide workpieces, because the part must fit through the column opening while still allowing clearance for clamps, edge machining, and tool approach. The 800 mm Z-axis travel, 1000 mm W-axis travel, and 1650 mm distance from the table surface to the spindle nose help determine whether tall parts, riser setups, angle plates, and deep cavities can be machined. In real production, this matters for large molds, aerospace fixture blocks, welded structures, and medical or electronics tooling plates where multiple face depths may be required in a single setup. The 10000 rpm maximum spindle speed gives the machine a broader process window than a low-speed gantry mill used mainly for heavy roughing. It can be considered for mold finishing, aluminum aerospace components, fixture plates, and general large-part milling where both material removal and surface finish are required. Final suitability still depends on cutting tools, material, clamping method, programmed feeds, and the condition verified during inspection. How the Key Specs Affect Machine Selection Travel and Table Size The first selection filter is part size. A 2000 x 4000 mm table does not mean every 2000 x 4000 mm part will be easy to machine; buyers should allow space for clamps, stops, side access, tool overhang, and chip evacuation. The 4200 mm X-axis travel gives useful longitudinal reach across the table length, while the 3100 mm Y-axis travel helps cover wide parts and side positioning. For production managers, this can reduce the need to split large components into multiple setups or outsource oversized machining. Height, Reach, and W-Axis Stroke The 1650 mm table-to-spindle-nose distance is important for tall components, tombstone-style fixtures, and riser block setups. Combined with 800 mm Z-axis travel and 1000 mm W-axis travel, it gives the machine reach for deep features and higher workpiece envelopes. This matters in mold making and structural machining, where the part may include ribs, steps, pockets, or cast and welded geometry above the table surface. Spindle Speed and Tool Magazine A 10000 rpm spindle is helpful when the production mix includes aluminum, cast iron finishing, mold surfaces, and smaller tools used on a large workpiece. The 60-tool magazine supports complex programs with roughing, semi-finishing, finishing, drilling, tapping preparation, chamfering, and side-face tools in the same cycle. For factories running low-volume, high-mix work, that tool capacity can reduce setup interruptions and keep the machine productive during long programs. Machine Mass and Floor Requirement The 37000 kg net weight and 6680 x 10730 mm floor space should be reviewed early in the buying process. This machine is intended for a plant with proper space planning, foundation readiness, rigging access, and loading access. A factory currently relying on smaller machining centers should confirm not only part fit, but also the installation footprint and production flow around the machine. Frequently Asked Questions What do the 4200 x 3100 x 800 mm travels mean for part size? These travels define how far the machine axes can move in X, Y, and Z. In production, they help determine whether the cutter can reach the full work area after the part, clamps, and fixtures are installed. For this MCR-A5CII, the 4200 mm X travel and 3100 mm Y travel support large plates, mold bases, fixtures, and structural components, while the 800 mm Z travel helps with depth and height variation. Is the 2000 x 4000 mm table suitable for large mold bases? Yes, the 2000 x 4000 mm table class is well suited for many large mold bases, die bases, and tooling plates. Buyers should still compare the actual workpiece size with clamp space, tool approach, side-machining requirements, and the 2650 mm gantry width before confirming fit. Why is the 1000 mm W-axis travel important? The W-axis provides additional vertical movement for the crossrail or spindle system, depending on machine configuration. For buyers, it matters when machining tall parts, deep pockets, large fixtures, or workpieces with multiple height levels. Together with the 1650 mm table-to-spindle-nose distance, it improves the machine’s ability to handle taller setups. How does the 10000 rpm spindle affect material suitability? A 10000 rpm maximum spindle speed gives more flexibility for finishing and smaller-diameter tooling than a low-speed-only gantry mill. It can be useful for mold finishing, aluminum components, fixture plates, and precision hole patterns. Material suitability still depends on tool type, cutting parameters, workholding, and verified spindle condition. What is the benefit of the T301, T302, and T303BC head package? The T301 vertical milling head supports standard top-face machining. The T302 90-degree head supports side-face and horizontal-feature machining. The T303BC five-face milling head expands access to multiple sides of the workpiece, which can reduce re-clamping for molds, die bases, structural parts, and large fixtures. Who should consider this used Okuma MCR-A5CII CNC gantry milling machine? It is best suited to factories and job shops that need large-part machining capacity for automotive tooling, aerospace fixtures, mold making, medical equipment plates, electronics tooling, and general machinery components. It is especially attractive when current equipment lacks table size, axis travel, or multi-face machining access.
