2017 HWACHEON VESTA 2000 BT50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2017 Hwacheon VESTA 2000 BT50 is a 3-axis vertical machining center combining a large 78.7-inch X-axis envelope with a BT 50 spindle taper for heavy-duty cutting applications requiring maximum torque in large-part machining. The machine provides 78.7-inch X-axis travel, 33.5-inch Y-axis travel, and 31.5-inch Z-axis travel across a 78.7-inch by 33.5-inch worktable. The BT 50 spindle delivers 20.1 horsepower continuous at up to 8,000 RPM in standard configuration, with optional CTS variants reaching 34.9 horsepower continuous, providing substantial torque for aggressive material removal in steel, cast iron, and structural alloys. The BT 50 taper accommodates large-diameter face mills, shell mills, and boring tools with superior clamping rigidity compared to smaller taper systems. A standard 24-tool automatic tool changer (with 30-tool option) supports multi-operation machining without manual intervention. All-axis rapid traverse of 945 inches per minute ensures productive cycle times despite the large work envelope. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 0i-MF Plus CNC control with proven servo performance and full G-code compatibility. The machine measures approximately 235 inches long by 146 inches wide by 144 inches tall and weighs approximately 30,644 pounds. The VESTA 2000 BT50 is well suited to heavy die and mold production, large aerospace structural parts, and heavy manufacturing requiring maximum torque in a large-travel VMC.
