Overview
Ø800 mm vertical turning on an 18 in chuck
The VT-650 is an 18 in chuck vertical turning center that cuts up to Ø800 mm in diameter and 750 mm in length. Hwacheon builds it for brake drums, discs, hubs and valves, with the spindle on the left or right, or as the 2SP twin version with two 18 in spindles on one FANUC 0i-TF Plus. The A2-11 spindle turns 1,500 rpm on 22 / 18.5 kW, with high-speed and high-torque options to 2,000 rpm, and the 12-station turret indexes in 0.2 s. MG versions add a 16-tool Capto C5 magazine, and MC versions add 5.5 kW live tools and a C axis.

Features
- 01One-piece bed, box way on ZThe bed is a one-piece frame built to absorb vibration and limit thermal distortion. Z runs on a box way and X on linear roller guides.
- 02Left, right or twin spindleThe spindle can sit on the left or the right. The 2SP version pairs two 18 in spindles under one two-path FANUC 0i-TF Plus control, so one operator runs both.
- 03Spindle options to 2,000 rpmThe standard A2-11 spindle runs 1,500 rpm on a 22 / 18.5 kW motor, and high-speed and high-torque options raise top speed to 2,000 rpm. Hwacheon lists a 45 / 37 kW motor upgrade as an option, and a two-speed gearbox for low-speed torque with that motor only.
- 0416-tool magazine optionMG versions pair a 10-station turret with a 16-tool Capto C5 magazine for tools up to 400 mm long and 20 kgf. The ATC parks by the side door for tool loading.
- 05Turnmill option with C axisMC versions add 5.5 / 3.7 kW live tools to 3,000 rpm, drilling to Ø26 mm and tapping to M20, with C-axis indexing in 0.0001 degree steps.
- 06Coolant and way oil kept apartThe cutting area is sealed from the feed area, so way lube drains on its own path and does not mix with coolant. L-HTLD tool load monitoring is standard.
