Turning Center for Heavy-Duty Turning



Designed for heavy-duty machining common in the energy and general machining industries, the Hi-Tech 400 features a high power, high torque spindle drive achieving 2,500 RPM (22/18.5 kW). The tailstock has a quill diameter of 3.94" and a stroke of 120 mm (4.72").

"With turret indexing time of 0.35 second per position and rapid feed in X and Z of 20 m/min, the Hi-Tech 400 adds speed to its heavy-duty cutting capability, making it well-suited to oil and gas component production as well as aerospace and general machining work," said a company spokesperson. "Users will find it easy to add a high-speed turn-mill or a sub-spindle capability."

The Hi-TECH 400 has an integrated, rigid 45° slanting cast iron bed/frame to minimize heat distortion during heavy machining. The precision-polished, wide guide surface and the rigid bed design absorb vibration, which helps support high precision during hard turning. All guide surfaces are hand-scraped and rectangular to help assure rigidity and accuracy in prolonged operation.

"For consistent turning results during heavy cutting, the servo motor is coupled directly to the shaft without a driveline such as a gearbox or a belt, eliminating the backlash which can otherwise occur during a feed," said the spokesperson.

Hwacheon provides both the heavy-duty geared headstock machines, as well as integral spindle motor, linear guide way machines, because, according to the company, there is a need in the market for heavy-duty reliable machines that are able to take a crash and are powerful enough for heavy-duty machining, and can hold high accuracies in both positioning and finishing.
