Hwacheon HIREX-4000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a large flat table measuring 177.0 inches in length and 21.65 inches in width, supporting a maximum workpiece weight of up to 9,460 lbs. It operates with a vertical spindle of BT40 taper type, capable of speeds up to 10,000 RPM, driven by a 20 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation. The machine includes a 24-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) with a fast tool change time of 1.5 seconds, and a tool change chip time of 3.5 seconds, enhancing production efficiency. The axes configuration includes three standard linear axes (X, Y, Z) with optional fourth axis capability, providing travel distances of 157.0" (X), 20.47" (Y), and 22.44" (Z), all capable of a maximum feed and rapid traverse rate of 1,181 inches per minute. While no support index table is standard, an optional rotary table and pallet changer are available to expand versatility for complex multi-face machining and automated pallet handling. The machine’s robust construction, high spindle power, and extensive travel capacity make it suitable for heavy-duty milling tasks requiring high precision and throughput. The BT40 spindle taper ensures compatibility with a wide range of tooling, optimizing for various cutting applications and materials. Overall, this CNC machining center is engineered for large-scale, high-capacity machining with rapid tool changes and precise multi-axis control to meet demanding manufacturing requirements.
