The price estimate for the Hwacheon CUTEX-240 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-240#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The A and B both have an 8 in chuck, A2-6 nose, 5,000 rpm, Ø75 mm (Ø3.0 in) bore and 12-station turret; bar capacity is Ø51 mm (Ø2.0 in) on the A and Ø65 mm (Ø2.6 in) on the B. The C has a 10 in chuck, A2-8 nose, 3,500 rpm, Ø90 mm (Ø3.5 in) bore, Ø76 mm (Ø3.0 in) bar capacity and a 10-station turret.
A 6 in chuck on an A2-5 nose, 6,000 rpm, a Ø56 mm (Ø2.2 in) bore, Ø45 mm (Ø1.8 in) bar capacity and 7.5 / 5.5 kW (10.1 / 7.4 hp). It travels 650 mm (25.6 in) at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). The SMC has no tailstock, and the machine weighs 5,700 kg (12,566 lb).
The Hi-TECH 200 has the same 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) motor and the same Ø51 / Ø65 / Ø76 mm bar capacities, but turns up to Ø350 mm (Ø13.8 in) and weighs 4,450 to 4,800 kg (9,810 to 10,582 lb). The CUTEX-240 turns up to Ø380 mm (Ø15.0 in) and 680 mm (26.8 in) long, and offers a sub-spindle version.
664 to 680 mm (26.1 to 26.8 in) on the base machine and 548 to 565 mm (21.6 to 22.2 in) on MC and SMC versions. Z travel is 700 mm (27.6 in), or 665 mm (26.2 in) on MC and SMC. The tailstock quill is Ø80 mm (Ø3.1 in) with 120 mm (4.7 in) of travel.
