Hwacheon has reported that its Hi-TECH 450 turning center with small footprint provides space efficiency while offering the largest turning diameter in its class of mid-size lathes at 500 mm and turning length of 1,350 mm.
The Hi-TECH 450 features available chuck sizes of 10, 12 or 15, through-hole diameter of up to 132 mm and a range of options, including Y-axis machining, for enhanced capability and machining flexibility. Hi-TECH 450 can be configured to ensure efficient setups for products including hydraulic valve, connectors, flanges or long shafts, particularly for the oil and gas industry, according to the company.
The Hi-TECH range of six machine configurations offers versatility for high speed or high torque operation. A high powered spindle with integral motor offers a low speed of 800 RPM for high torque turning and maximum speed of 3,500 RPM with a rapid feed rate of 20/24 m/min (X/Z). Turret indexing time to adjacent tools is 0.25 seconds. Turret capacity is 12 tools.
Hi-TECH 450 has an integrated 45° angle bed frame to help minimize heat distortion and promote chip shedding and work area access. The hand-scraped wide guide surface and the bed design absorb vibration to provide stability during hard turning. All guide surfaces are rectangular and incorporate tack guide to help maintain rigidity and accuracy in prolonged operations.
The geared transmission system permits high torque turning at low speed and also high-speed turning. The transmission is separate from the spindle motor to avoid the effects of transmission heat and the vibration on the spindle.
Hi-TECH 450 has an optional Y-axis, which can be added to MC/SMC model for reduced cycle times during multi-function operations.
