Hwacheon UH500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 33.46" × 21.65" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,760 lbs, with optional rotary table support for enhanced production flexibility. The machine is equipped with a BBT 40 spindle taper (optional HSK-E40) delivering exceptional performance with maximum speeds of 20,000 RPM standard and 32,000 RPM optional, powered by 32 HP (30-minute rating) or 27 HP alternatively. This configuration enables high-speed precision machining across diverse applications including drilling, tapping, milling, boring, reaming, and countersinking operations. The three-axis system (expandable to four axes optionally) provides substantial travel distances: 29.52" in X, 19.70" in Y, and 13.77" in Z, all with rapid traverse rates of 945 IPM, facilitating efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. The automatic tool changer (ATC) accommodates 24 tools with exceptionally fast tool change times of 1.50 seconds and 3.50 seconds chip-to-chip, minimizing production downtime. The machine's BBT spindle design ensures superior rigidity through dual-contact taper and face coupling, which prevents distortion, minimizes deflection, and enhances cutting accuracy and reliability. Optional pallet changer availability further streamlines production workflows for mass manufacturing environments. With positional accuracy of 0.01 mm in full length and repeatability of 0.005 mm or better, this precision-engineered system delivers consistent, high-quality results. The combination of high spindle power, rapid feed rates, and advanced tooling capabilities makes this machine ideal for demanding aerospace, automotive, and tool-making applications requiring exceptional precision and productivity.
