Gantry loader for Hwacheon CUTEX and Hi-TECH turning centers, 5 or 10 kg parts, 8 or 10 s load and unload
The GR Series is Hwacheon's gantry loader for its turning centers. It loads, clamps and unloads workpieces automatically, and a single CNC runs both the turning center and the loader, which ships and installs with the machine as one unit. The catalog pairs the GR-5 with the CUTEX-180 A/B and Hi-TECH 230 A and the GR-10 with the Hi-TECH 230 B/C; Hwacheon's site also lists the TTC Series. The X axis travels 3,020 mm at 150 m/min, the telescopic Y arm 970.5 mm at 120 m/min, and a load and unload cycle takes 8 seconds on the GR-5 and 10 on the GR-10.
