Overview

2,200 x 1,800 mm table carrying 15,000 kgf, with 2,600 mm of X travel

The AF-16 is Hwacheon's large horizontal machining center, with a 2,200 x 1,800 mm table that carries up to 15,000 kgf. It travels 2,600 mm in X (3,000 mm optional), 1,600 mm in Y and 1,500 mm in Z, and takes workpieces up to Ø2,500 x 1,800 mm. Three BBT-50 spindles are offered: a 3,000 rpm gear-driven spindle with a 300 mm W axis, and 8,000 or 12,000 rpm built-in motor spindles. Hwacheon also lists 2-pallet (2-APC) and 10-pallet (10 PPL) configurations, which carry 7,000 and 5,000 kgf per pallet.

Features

01Three spindle choicesHwacheon offers a 3,000 rpm gear-driven spindle (26 / 22 kW, Ø180 mm bearing inner diameter) and 8,000 rpm (26 / 22 kW) and 12,000 rpm (30 / 25 kW) built-in motor spindles. All three are BBT-50 with oil-jet lubrication and jacket cooling.
02W axis on the 3,000 rpm versionThe 3,000 rpm configuration adds a 300 mm W-axis stroke, rapid traversing at 12 m/min.
0315,000 kgf table, 0.001 degree indexingThe 2,200 x 1,800 mm table (1,600 x 1,600 mm optional) carries 15,000 kgf, rotates 360 degrees in 0.001 degree steps and takes workpieces up to Ø2,500 x 1,800 mm.
042-APC and 10 PPL configurationsBesides the single table, Hwacheon lists a 2-pallet configuration (2-APC) and a 10-pallet configuration (10 PPL). Load per pallet is 7,000 kgf with 2-APC and 5,000 kgf with 10 PPL.
0560 to 180 toolsThe fixed-address magazine holds 60 tools, with 120 and 180 as options, for tools up to Ø250 mm (with empty adjacent pockets), 550 mm long and 25 kgf.
06Spindle and frame coolingHwacheon cools the in-house spindle and the frame to limit thermal deformation during long machining runs.
