The price estimate for the Hwacheon CUTEX-180 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-cutex-180#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The CUTEX-180A has a 6 in chuck, an A2-5 nose, 6,000 rpm, a Ø62 mm (Ø2.4 in) bore and Ø51 mm (Ø2.0 in) bar capacity. The CUTEX-180B has an 8 in chuck, an A2-6 nose, 4,500 rpm, a Ø76 mm (Ø3.0 in) bore and Ø65 mm (Ø2.6 in) bar capacity. Both have the 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp) spindle.
MC versions have live tools (5.5 / 3.7 kW, 5,000 rpm) and a 24-position turret index. YMC adds ±55 mm (±2.2 in) of Y travel. SMC and YSMC add a sub-spindle with a 5 in chuck, listed for the L-bed CUTEX-180AL / BL, with 590 mm (23.2 in) of travel. SMC versions have no tailstock.
252 to 328 mm (9.9 to 12.9 in) on the standard bed and 452 to 528 mm (17.8 to 20.8 in) on the L bed, depending on version. Z travel is 380 mm (15.0 in), or 580 mm (22.8 in) on L versions.
The CUTEX-240 turns up to Ø380 mm (Ø15.0 in), takes bar up to Ø76 mm (Ø3.0 in) on its C version and has an 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) spindle. The CUTEX-180 turns up to Ø350 mm (Ø13.8 in), takes Ø65 mm (Ø2.6 in) bar at most and has a 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp) spindle.
The base machine weighs 3,600 kg (7,937 lb), the L version 4,400 kg (9,700 lb), the YMC 3,750 kg (8,267 lb), the SMC 4,550 kg (10,031 lb) and the YSMC 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). It needs 30 kVA, or 35 kVA on (Y)SMC versions.
