VMC Made for High-Speed, High Accuracy Operation



Hwacheon Machinery offers its VESTA 1000 vertical machining center (VMC) designed to bring stable, high-speed, precision machining and long-term productivity to job shops serving mold and die, automotive, energy, medical and aerospace applications.

XYZ axis travels are 1,000 X 550 X 500 mm. With a table surface of 43.31" x 19.69", load capacity of over 1,500 lbs. and distance from table surface to gauge plane of 5.12" to 24.8", the machines can accommodate a wide range of workpieces.

A maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM developed by the 25 HP motor plus Hwacheon's adaptive software suite makes the VESTA 1000 a high performance machine for fast roughing as well as highly precise finishing, reported the company. The machines can be quickly programmed in Fast Mode for roughing or Precision Mode for finish machining.

The software monitors environmental and machining related variables and adjusts the machining process automatically, minimizing cycle times and optimizing machining results. Hwacheon's Tool Load Detection (HTLD) system software constantly detects and diagnoses the tool load during machining to reduce tool wear and prevent damage, optimizing tool life. HECC provides precise contour control for better machining efficiency while OPTIMA controls the feedrate, reducing the cycle time as much a 25%. To help minimize thermal displacement and to increase the life of the spindle assembly, the spindle unit is jacket and bearings are cooled.

A rapid feed (XYZ of 1,417/1,417/1,180 IPM) permits quick positioning of the tools. A 24- or 30-position tool magazine, carrying tools up to 6" diameter, 12" length, offers tool-to-tool change time of just 1.5 sec, helping to reduce cycle time. Machining feedrates are up to 945 IPM.

High precision roller guideways in all axes and rigid one-piece machine bed design means the VMCs from Hwacheon are designed to absorb vibration and provide optimum stability, even in hard milling applications.

"The Hwacheon clean room assembly facility where these spindles are manufactured maintains optimal temperature and humidity, resulting in spindles that meet the toughest quality standard in the industry," said a company spokesperson. All Hwacheon spindles are oil-cooled.
