Hwacheon VESTA 2000 (BT40) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 33.46 inches in length by 78.74 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,968 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a BT 40 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM (with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM) and powered by a 25 HP (30-minute rating) motor for high-performance cutting across a wide range of materials. Tool management is handled by a 30-station automatic tool changer (ATC), ensuring efficient tool exchange and reduced cycle times. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional fourth axis for enhanced versatility. Axis travels are 78.74 inches (X), 33.46 inches (Y), and 31.5 inches (Z), supporting large and complex workpieces. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds reach 945 inches per minute on all axes, enabling fast and precise machining. The system supports optional integration of a rotary table for advanced multi-axis operations and an optional pallet changer for increased productivity in high-volume environments. The design emphasizes rigidity, accuracy, and reliability, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications such as mold making, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing.
