The Hwacheon SIRIUS UL+ vertical die and mold machining center features a Hwacheon designed and constructed 20,000 RPM built-in motor spindle. The machining center, which features a table size of 47.24" x 23.62" and a travel range of 41.34" x 23.62" x 21.65", is designed for high speed cutting as well as high precision die and mold manufacturing.
The machine was designed using 3D simulation and FEM analysis to achieve structural rigidity for enhanced machining results. The machine frame is a rigid bilateral gate structure which firmly supports the X-axis drive and diverts load, vibration and heat from the upper section of the machine evenly throughout the frame. "These features help keep the feed drive stable, even after hours of operation," said a company spokesperson. "Also, the short distance between the X-axis drive and the tool's point of contact is a plus for maintaining rigidity and for enhancing machining precision."
The high performance spindle integrates Hwacheon's patented oil-jet lubrication technology to help ensure consistent quality results after hours of operation. The oil-jet cooling and lubrication system injects a jet of oil directly onto the spindle bearing for effective cooling. The motor and spindle assembly are jacket cooled to limit displacement caused by heat.
Hwacheon designed the machining software to monitor different variables related to work environment and machining conditions. It automatically makes adjustments for improved quality and machining efficiency.
Additional features include:
HTLD - Hwacheon's Tool Load Detect provides real time measurement of tool load to help provide consistent and safe machining. HTLD constantly monitors tool damage and deterioration for prevention of complete tool failure causing workpiece damage. HTLD measures tool load every 8 m secs.
- HECC - Hwacheon's High-Efficiency Contour Control System offers an easy to use programming interface system that is designed to provide a precise, custom contour control for the selected workpiece while prolonging machine life and decreasing process time. HECC offers different options for cutting speed and accuracy, and for surface finish and geometry. The customizable display provides real time monitoring and quick, easy access. HECC may be used with existing NC data systems and is compatible with G-code programming.
- OPTIMA - Hwacheon Cutting Feed Optimization System utilizes an adaptive control method to regulate the feedrate in real time to maintain a consistent cutting load by controlling the feed velocity while machining. As a result, the company reported that cutting tools are less prone to damage and machining time is reduced. Features provided with OPTIMA include a graphic display of tool load and feedrate, convenient operation using G-code programming and a number of data sets for specific tool and process control. OPTIMA operates in conjunction with HTLD.
- HFDC - Hwacheon Frame Displacement Control System is equipped with sensitive thermal sensors mounted at various locations in the machine castings where thermal displacement is possible. HFDC monitors and corrects detected thermal displacement.
- HTDC - Hwacheon Thermal Displacement Control System integrates the Hwacheon Spindle Displacement Control system and the Frame Displacement Control System.
- HSDC - Hwacheon Spindle Displacement Control System - As a spindle rotates at high speed, centrifugal forces and heat expand the spindle taper, causing error in Z-axis. HSDC constantly monitors temperature at a number of points within the spindle assembly, predicting thermal displacement. The HSDC system then makes necessary adjustments and effectively minimizes thermal displacement.
