The price estimate for the Hwacheon H8 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-h8#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
Pallet size and load. The H8 runs 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) pallets rated at 2,200 kgf (4,850 lb); the Hwacheon H6 runs 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallets rated at 1,600 kgf (3,527 lb). Both offer the 8,000 rpm gear-driven and 12,000 rpm built-in spindles on BBT-50, a 40-tool magazine expandable to 180, two pallets and Fanuc 31i-B control. The H8 weighs 33,000 kgf (72,752 lb) against 28,850 kgf (63,603 lb) for the Hwacheon H6.
The 8K spindle is gear driven and runs to 8,000 rpm, which suits large face mills and heavy roughing at low speed. The 12K spindle uses a built-in motor and runs to 12,000 rpm, which helps small tools and finishing passes. Both take BBT-50 tooling with CAT-50 as an option. The table lists 35 / 22 kW (46.9 / 29.5 hp) for the spindle without splitting it by version.
The pallet is 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) and carries up to 2,200 kgf (4,850 lb). Workpieces can be up to Ø1,450 mm (Ø57.1 in) across and 1,450 mm (57.1 in) high. The spindle nose moves from 100 to 1,350 mm (3.9 to 53.1 in) from the table centre, and the spindle centre sits 100 to 1,250 mm (3.9 to 49.2 in) above the table top.
40 as standard, with optional magazines of 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 tools, all selected by fixed address. Each tool may be up to 600 mm (23.6 in) long and 30 kgf (66 lb), and up to Ø125 mm (Ø4.9 in) in diameter with the adjacent pockets full or Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in) with them empty.
A 100 kVA electrical supply, 7,660 x 4,440 mm (301.6 x 174.8 in) of floor and 3,864 mm (152.1 in) of clear height. The coolant tank holds 1,000 L and the machine weighs 33,000 kgf (72,752 lb), so the foundation and rigging need planning well ahead of delivery.
