Our best estimate for the Hwacheon CUTEX-160A is $65,000 - $95,000. This is an estimate for a cnc lathes / turning centers in this class, not a quote from Hwacheon; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/hwacheon-cutex-160a#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The 160A has a 6 in chuck, an A2-5 nose, 6,000 rpm, a Ø56 mm (Ø2.2 in) bore and Ø45 mm (Ø1.8 in) bar capacity. The 160B has an 8 in chuck, an A2-6 nose, 4,500 rpm, a Ø62 mm (Ø2.4 in) bore and Ø51 mm (Ø2.0 in) bar capacity. Turning length is 300 mm (11.8 in) on the 160A and 284 mm (11.2 in) on the 160B.
A live tool drive of 3.7 / 2.2 kW (5.0 / 3.0 hp) at up to 5,000 rpm, taking end mills up to Ø16 mm in ER 25 collets, and C-axis indexing in 0.0001° steps. Maximum turning diameter falls from Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in) to Ø260 mm (Ø10.2 in), and the machine needs 25 kVA instead of 20 kVA.
The CUTEX-180 turns up to Ø350 mm (Ø13.8 in) on its A and B versions, has bar capacities of Ø51 / Ø65 mm (Ø2.0 / Ø2.6 in) and a 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp) spindle. The CUTEX-160A turns up to Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in), takes Ø45 mm (Ø1.8 in) bar and has a 15 / 7.5 kW (20.1 / 10.1 hp) spindle.
The turret has 12 stations and indexes at 0.15 sec/step. It takes □25 mm square-shank tools and boring bars up to Ø40 mm. The tailstock quill is Ø60 mm (Ø2.4 in) with 80 mm (3.1 in) of travel and an MT #4 taper.
