The price estimate for the Hwacheon AF-4 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/hwacheon-af-4#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The 15K spindle gives 37 / 22 kW (49.6 / 29.5 hp) and 303 Nm (223 lb-ft), so it is the choice for steel, cast iron and larger cutters. The 20K gives 37 / 18.5 kW (49.6 / 24.8 hp) and 221 Nm (163 lb-ft) with the extra speed for aluminium and small tools.
The spindle is ISO #40 with a 7/24 taper, supplied as BBT-40. CAT-40, HSK-A63 and SK-40 are options. Pull studs on the standard spindle are MAS P40T-1 (45°).
The magazine holds 40 tools as standard or 60 as an option. Tools can be Ø75 mm (Ø2.95 in) with adjacent pockets full, Ø170 mm (Ø6.69 in) with adjacent pockets empty, 430 mm (16.9 in) long and 8 kgf (18 lb).
They are at opposite ends of the size range. The AF-16 has a 2,200 x 1,800 mm (86.6 x 70.9 in) table, a BBT-50 taper, 3,000 / 8,000 / 12,000 rpm spindles and a 15,000 kgf (33,069 lb) table load. The AF-4 has a □400 mm table, a 40 taper, 15,000 or 20,000 rpm and 400 kgf (882 lb).
