HWACHEON VT 1150 (MC) VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty production turning operations on large cylindrical workpieces. The machine accommodates components up to 45.270 inches in maximum turning diameter with a maximum turning length of 37.400 inches, supported by a 40-inch standard chuck or optional 50-inch chuck for enhanced workpiece clamping. The maximum swing diameter of 53.140 inches provides additional clearance for complex geometries. Powered by a 73 horsepower main spindle operating at 1,250 RPM, this vertical machining center delivers substantial cutting force and torque suitable for heavy-duty machining of castings, forgings, and large-diameter parts. The machine features a 24-inch X-axis travel for radial tool positioning and a 37.400-inch Z-axis travel along the workpiece length. The tool turret accommodates up to 12 cutting tools with one simultaneous cutting tool capability, enabling efficient production runs with minimal tool changes. An additional rotary tool station provides 10 horsepower at 3,000 RPM for secondary operations such as drilling or milling without repositioning the workpiece. With a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 945 inches per minute, the machine balances precision with production efficiency. The 2-axis configuration is ideal for symmetrical and simple-to-moderately-complex parts requiring traditional turning operations, while the combination of high horsepower and substantial workholding capacity makes it particularly suited for aerospace, automotive, and heavy industrial components requiring tight tolerances and repeatable accuracy.
