Overview
1,300 x 750 mm travel smart machining center for graphite electrodes
The SMART UaX is Hwacheon's vertical machining center for graphite electrodes, built to run with little operator input. Its H-SMART control takes a CAD model, runs the CAM calculation, measures the workpieces and writes and sends the NC program, so a job starts in four button clicks. It has 1,300 / 750 / 420 mm of travel, a 1,200 x 700 mm table, a 50-tool armless magazine and an 18.5 kW built-in spindle at 12,000 rpm, with 20,000 rpm as an option. An indoor dust collector is standard and the machine weighs 10,000 kgf.

Features
- 01CAD model to running job in four clicksH-SMART analyzes the CAD model, creates the NC data, finds the position and size of each workpiece, and writes and sends the program. Hwacheon puts the whole sequence at four button clicks.
- 02Built for unattended runsThe machine places and measures workpieces automatically, checks each one against the image H-SMART analyzed for missing or wrong material, and skips that part. Hwacheon builds it for 24-hour unmanned machining.
- 03Tool checks before and after machiningTools are measured before and after machining to catch breakage and wear, run time is logged for tool life management, and HECC and HTLD can be set for each tool.
- 04Two built-in spindle versionsThe 12,000 rpm spindle is grease lubricated and the 20,000 rpm spindle is oil-jet lubricated. Both are 18.5 / 11 kW with jacket cooling and a BT-40 taper, with HSK-A63 as an option.
- 0550-tool armless magazineThe armless magazine holds 50 tools with fixed-address selection, each up to Ø33 mm, 280 mm long and 3 kgf.
- 06Spindle and frame coolingCooling of the spindle and frames limits thermal deformation over long runs. A 3.7 kW dust collector handles graphite dust.
