Hwacheon VT-650Y

Heavy duty vertical turning center with Y-axis

VT-450 to 1150

Built to order. Ask for lead time.

Overview

Ø800 mm vertical turning with a ±125 mm Y axis

The VT-650Y is the VT-650 with a Y axis: an 18 in chuck vertical turning center that turns, mills, drills and taps off center in one setup. Hwacheon aims it at casings, housings and pipe parts that would otherwise go to a machining center for a second operation. It cuts up to Ø800 mm by 750 mm, with an A2-11 spindle to 1,500 rpm on 22 kW, X / Z / Y strokes of 430 / 790 / ±125 mm and 5.5 kW live tools to 3,000 rpm on a C axis indexed to 0.0001 degree. The MG version adds a Capto C5 magazine of 16 or 48 tools.

Features

01±125 mm Y axisThe Y axis lets the machine face mill, drill, tap and end mill off center, so casings, housings and pipe parts can be finished in one setup.
02Live-tool turret, 13,850 kgf clampingThe 12-station turret clamps at 13,850 kgf and runs live tools on 5.5 / 3.7 kW to 3,000 rpm (11 / 5.5 kW optional), drilling to Ø26 mm and tapping to M24. C-axis positioning is in 0.0001 degree steps.
0316 or 48-tool magazine optionOptional Capto C5 magazines hold 16 or 48 tools. The 48-tool turnmill magazine changes both turning and milling tools, radial up to 400 mm long and axial up to 185 mm.
04Spindle and gearbox optionsThe standard A2-11 spindle gives 1,578.9 Nm and 1,500 rpm. Option 1 uses a 45 / 37 kW motor for 2,000 rpm with 15 or 18 in chucks; option 2 adds a two-stage gearbox for 3,149.9 Nm.
05Coolant tank outside the bedThe coolant tank and chip conveyor are separated from the machine bed to keep heat and contamination away from it, and the tank is on wheels. Turret coolant is 0.6 MPa standard, 1.5 MPa optional.
06Robot interface optionHwacheon lists a robot interface and a tool presetter as options, under measurement and automation, for both the YMC and MG / YMC versions.
