Hwacheon Machinery offers its VT-950/1150 series of vertical CNC lathes, designed for large-part turning, with 43.3 and 53" swing over the bed and cutting diameters to 52" with chucks sizes from 24" to 40".
According to the company, precision hand-scraped and polished guide ways in all axes and rigid one-piece machine bed design mean the VTLs from Hwacheon are designed to absorb vibration and provide stability in hard turning applications.
A rapid feed (X/Z) of 944 inch/min permits quick positioning of the tools. A 12- or optional 24-station servo-type tool turret, carrying tools up to 2.5" dia., offers indexing time of just 0.2 sec, helping to reduce cycle time.
The machines can be provided with a turnmill option to provide machining flexibility for completing more complex large parts.
The machines are also provided with Hwacheon's Lathe Tool Load Detection System software designed to constantly detect and diagnose the tool load during machining to reduce tool wear and prevent damage, optimizing tool life.
VT-950/1150 range has an integrated 45-degree angle bed frame to minimize heat distortion. The bed is designed to absorb the vibration and ensure a high degree of precision at hard turning.
"The VT-950 and VT-1150 spindles provide powerful chucking for stable, precise machining. The Hwacheon clean room assembly facility, where these super-precision, super-rigid spindles are manufactured, maintains optimal temperature and humidity, resulting in spindles that meet the toughest quality standard in the industry. All Hwacheon spindles are oil-cooled," said a company spokesperson.
According to the company, the geared drive system allows for high-torque turning at low speed and also high speed turning. The transmission and the spindle motor are designed separately so that the heat and the vibration generated from the transmission do not interfere with the spindle motor. For the VT-1150, maximum spindle speed is 630 RPM generated by a 73.5 HP motor. The VT-950 achieves 1,125 RPM with a 40 HP drive.
