2018 HWACHEON VESTA 2000 BT50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2018 Hwacheon VESTA 2000 BT50 is a 3-axis vertical machining center featuring a 78.7-inch X-axis work envelope with a BT 50 heavy-duty spindle for demanding large-part machining applications. 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 capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,968 pounds. The BT 50 spindle delivers 20.1 horsepower continuous at up to 8,000 RPM, with optional through-coolant spindle configurations delivering up to 34.9 horsepower continuous, enabling aggressive material removal in heavy steel, cast iron, and large structural components. The BT 50 taper provides superior tool clamping and rigidity for large-diameter face mills, shell mills, and heavy boring operations. All-axis rapid traverse of 945 inches per minute minimizes non-cutting time across large-envelope machining cycles. A 24-tool standard automatic tool changer (30-tool optional) supports complex multi-operation jobs. Maximum tool weight of 44 pounds accommodates the large tooling commonly used in BT 50 machining. The Fanuc 0i-MF Plus CNC control provides reliable 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 work, aerospace structural machining, and large-part production environments.
