High precision 5-axis vertical machining center for parts

M Series

Built to order. Ask for lead time.

Overview

Ø300 mm tilting rotary table, 750 / 500 / 450 mm travel

The M1-5AX is a 5-axis vertical machining center from Hwacheon's M Series for small, complex parts finished in one setup. Travel is 750 / 500 / 450 mm over a Ø300 mm B/C table rated for 200 kg, with 36 m/min rapids on all three linear axes. The spindle is a 20,000 rpm BBT-40 at 37 kW or a 32,000 rpm HSK-E40 at 18.5 kW, with 30 tools standard and 40 or 60 as options. It runs Hwacheon's HARMONY interface on FANUC 31i-B5 Plus and is laid out for robot and AWC loading from the right side or front.
