Overview

8 / 10 in. box-way lathe, Ø425 x 1,143 mm turning capacity

The Hi-TECH 230 is an 8 / 10 inch box-way lathe that Hwacheon specifies with stiffer X and Y feed, an upgraded main spindle motor and more turnmill power than existing 8 to 10 inch box-way lathes. It comes in short, long (L) and extra-long (XL) beds, with MC, YMC and (Y)SMC versions adding live tooling, a ±60 mm Y axis and a 5,000 rpm sub spindle. The 230A runs an 8 inch chuck at 4,500 rpm with Ø65 mm bar, and the 230B and 230C run 10 inch chucks at 3,500 rpm with Ø81 mm bar. Max turning diameter is Ø425 mm and max turning length 403 mm, 643 mm or 1,143 mm depending on bed length.

Max turning diameter: Ø16.7 in
Max turning length: 15.9 in (L: 25.3 in, XL: 45.0 in)
Chuck size: 8 / 10 in
Spindle speed: 4,500 rpm (230A) / 3,500 rpm (230B, 230C)
Control: FANUC 0i-TF Plus (Siemens 828D optional on 230A and 230B)

Features

01±60 mm Y axis (YMC, YSMC)Y-axis versions add 120 mm (±60 mm) of Y travel at 10 m/min, for off-center milling and multi-face machining.
02Box ways with 40% more contactHwacheon states the guideway contact area is 40% larger than on existing 8 to 10 inch lathes, with gibs for precision adjustment.
03Turret with 5.5 kW turnmill12 stations at 0.344 s per index. MC versions use BMT65 driven tooling with a 5.5 / 3.7 kW, 5,000 rpm turnmill and can index to 24 positions.
04Tailstock by bed lengthShort and long beds use a hydraulic digital tailstock with an MT#5 center and 460 or 700 mm of stroke. The XL bed gets a Ø100 mm cylinder, 120 mm of quill stroke and 1,080 mm of tailstock stroke.
05Front coolant tank, three-stage filterThe coolant tank sits at the front and can be separated without removing the chip conveyor. A three-layer mesh chip filter, which sorts long chips down to micro chips, extends coolant pump life.
06Gantry loader and robot interfaceThe bar feeder interface is standard; robot interface, auto door and part conveyor are options. Hwacheon's GR catalog pairs the 230A with the GR-5 gantry loader and the 230B and 230C with the GR-10.
