Hwacheon Machinery America has added to its line of big bore large heavy-duty turning centers designed for machining large oil field components. The Hi-Tech 700 horizontal turning centers feature an 1,800 RPM spindle and ample torque to permit productive cutting in tough pipe material up to 11.6" in diameter and more than 78" in length.
The new Hi-TECH BB and BB+ turning centers feature through-spindle holes from 7.08" to 14.57" in diameter to accommodate large pipes. Large air chucks can be fitted at the front and back of the spindle. Available chuck sizes include 15", 18", 21" and 24" and available spindle noses include ASA A2-15 to A2-20. Long bed versions of the center are available from 84" to 216".
The 4-speed automatic transmission system allows low-speed, high-torque turning as well as high-speed machining. Ultra-precision recuperative cylindrical roller bearings and the multiple thrust angular bearing have been incorporated to enable hard turning of tough alloys. The spindle may be geared down for extra torque to process a wide range of materials. The machine features Hwacheon's heavily ribbed torque tube design.
All BB turning centers are built with integrated bed frames of fine grain Meehanite castings to minimize heat distortion. Plus, all guideways are designed as solid box guideways to maintain rigidity and precision even during prolonged, heavy operations. In addition, Hwacheon's advanced thermal displacement control prevents deterioration of machining tolerances due to thermal displacement. A jet of lubrication is constantly applied to the spindle bearing for lubrication and cooling, prolonging machine life and machining precision.
Other features of the turning centers make them useful for cutting large parts. These include an enhanced specification servo turret, 13" large turret width and a boring bar capacity to 31". In addition, the turning centers can handle multitasking machining with a Y-axis head with a stroke of 9" and rapid positioning speed of 10 m/min.
Heavy-duty bearings in the turning center's tailstock offer a high degree of precision even after prolonged heavy-duty turning on large, heavy workpieces. Machines also feature a 20,000 kg clamping force. Quill diameters range from 120 mm to 160 mm housed in a built-in quill structure. The large steady rest capacity is 20". An air chuck is optional.
The turning center is controlled by the FANUC 0i control with Manual Guide i. Manual Guide i is a dialog-based programming system, allowing even a beginner to write an advanced program by following simple dialogs and menus. The data can be used to present a 3D model of the work and process, providing the operator with the preview of the actual outcome.
