HWACHEON AF-16 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hwacheon AF-16 is a robust horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty and precise machining tasks. It features a large 63" x 63" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, ideal for sizable parts. The machine employs a horizontal spindle with an NT#50 taper, delivering a standard top speed of 3,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 8,000 RPM for enhanced cutting performance. Its 35 HP spindle motor (with a 40 HP option) provides substantial power for demanding operations. This machining center supports four axes, with travels of 102.4" in X, 63" in Y, and 59.05" in Z, all capable of rapid traverse rates up to 629 inches per minute, allowing for efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. Equipped with an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), the standard tool capacity is 60, with an optional increase up to 180 tools, facilitating complex jobs without frequent manual intervention. The AF-16’s combination of expansive work area, substantial payload capacity, and flexible tooling options makes it suitable for heavy, large-scale manufacturing in aerospace, automotive, and mold industries. Its horizontal spindle layout enhances chip evacuation and rigidity during machining of dense materials. This machine balances power, precision, and versatility, supporting both large components and varied production demands.
