Friction stir welding machine with 4,000 / 2,300 / 700 mm travel
The F4020 is the large machine in Hwacheon's F Series, built for friction stir welding and heavy-duty cutting on the same machine. It runs a high-rigidity box-way feed system with a Hwacheon-built spindle, and cools both the spindle and the machine frame to limit thermal displacement over long welding and machining runs. Travel is 4,000 / 2,300 / 700 mm over a 4,200 x 2,000 mm table rated for 15,000 kgf, and the BBT-50 spindle runs to 6,000 rpm on 30 / 25 kW. It has an 8-tool ATC and a FANUC 31i-B control with HARMONY as standard.

Features
- 01Box-way feed systemHwacheon pairs a high-rigidity box-way feed system with its own spindle for stable friction stir welding and heavy-duty cutting.
- 02Spindle and frame coolingBoth the spindle and the machine frame are cooled to minimize thermal displacement during extended welding and machining.
- 034,200 x 2,000 mm table, 15,000 kgfThe table carries up to 15,000 kgf on nine 22 mm T-slots at 200 mm pitch, with 95 to 795 mm from table surface to spindle nose.
- 0430 / 25 kW BBT-50 spindleThe spindle runs to 6,000 rpm with oil-jet bearing lubrication and jacket cooling. CAT-50 tool shanks are an option.
- 058-tool ATCFixed-address tool selection with a 7 second tool-to-tool change, for tools up to Ø120 mm (Ø200 mm without adjacent tools), 350 mm long and 20 kg.
