Overview
Ø800 x 630 mm tilting rotary table, 950 / 1,000 / 650 mm travel
The M4-5AX is a 5-axis vertical machining center from Hwacheon's M Series, designed for difficult-to-cut materials. It carries a Ø800 x 630 mm A/C table rated for 1,200 kg, with three LM guides on X, a twin-drive Y axis and a box way structure on Z to absorb vibration. Travel is 950 / 1,000 / 650 mm. The BBT-50 spindle runs 12,000 rpm at 30 kW and 420 Nm as standard, or 8,000 rpm at 55 kW and 1,009 Nm as the high-torque option, with 30 tools standard on FANUC 31i-B5 Plus.

Features
- 01Built for difficult-to-cut materialsHwacheon designed the M4-5AX for difficult-to-cut materials, with three LM guides and six blocks on X and a box way structure on Z to absorb machining vibration.
- 02Two BBT-50 spindlesThe 12,000 rpm built-in spindle delivers 30 kW and 420 Nm. The 8,000 rpm high-torque option delivers 55 kW and 1,009 Nm.
- 031,200 kg rotary tableThe Hwacheon-built Ø800 x 630 mm A/C table has a 0.0001° rotary encoder, a twin drive on the A axis, and an external motor with table cooling.
- 04Twin-drive Y axisThe Y axis uses a twin drive and 6 LM blocks to limit yawing, with scale feedback on every axis.
- 05Hwacheon software standardHTDC thermal displacement control, HECC contour control, HTLD tool load detection and OPTIMA cutting feed optimization are standard. HRCC II rotation center calibration is optional.
- 06Pallet automationHwacheon lists the M Series on its HMP multi-pallet system page, and its official channel shows the M4-5AX with an automatic pallet changer (M4-5AX/2APC).
