HiREX Series
Built to order. Ask for lead time.
Overview
5,000 mm X travel on a moving column, 550 x 5,500 mm table
The HiREX-5000 is the 5,000 mm X version of Hwacheon's travelling column vertical machining center: the column and its tool changer move along a fixed 550 x 5,500 mm table. It is built for long parts, or for rows of vises set up for unattended runs. Travels are 5,000 / 520 / 570 mm, the table is rated for 5,800 kgf, and rapids are 30 / 36 / 36 m/min. The direct-coupled BT-40 spindle runs to 10,000 or 12,000 rpm with a 24-tool magazine (30 optional) on a FANUC 0i-MF Plus control.

Features
- 01Tool change anywhere on XThe tool changer moves with the column, so tools change at any point along the 5,000 mm X stroke. The swing-arm magazine holds 24 BT-40 tools (30 optional) up to 300 mm long.
- 02Roller guides, X-axis linear scaleAll three axes run on roller LM guides. The X axis reads from a linear scale to limit errors from thermal growth.
- 03Direct-coupled BT-40 spindleThe standard spindle runs to 10,000 rpm at 15/11 kW and 95.5 Nm; the 12,000 rpm version is rated 18.5/15 kW and 117.7 Nm. Both are grease lubricated and jacket cooled, by a fan cooler on 10K and an oil cooler on 12K.
- 0423 degree slant bedA wide bed sloped at 23 degrees, a bed shower along its full length and saddle showers on both sides carry chips out. The external coolant tank sits at the front of the machine.
- 05Crane loading, moving operator panelThe doors open 5,100 mm and the table sits 870 mm off the floor, so a full-size part can be craned in. The operator panel slides left and right along the X direction.
- 06Hwacheon software standardHECC contour control, HTLD tool load detection and OPTIMA feed optimization are standard. HTDC thermal displacement control is an option.
