The price estimate for the Hwacheon Hi-M1500 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-hi-m1500#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The Hwacheon Hi-M1300 has a 1,300 x 800 mm (51.2 x 31.5 in) table, also rated at 300 kg (661 lb), and spindles of 24,000 rpm or 30,000 rpm. The Hi-M1500 widens the table to 1,500 x 1,300 mm (59.1 x 51.2 in). The Hwacheon Hi-M2000 stretches it to 2,000 x 1,300 mm (78.7 x 51.2 in) and raises the load to 500 kg (1,102 lb).
Size and weight. With the full cover the footprint grows from 4,349 x 2,953 mm (171.2 x 116.3 in) to 5,284 x 2,977 mm (208.0 x 117.2 in), height from 2,288 mm (90.1 in) to 2,730 mm (107.5 in) and weight from 7,800 kg (17,196 lb) to 8,900 kg (19,621 lb). Measure the bay and doorways for the covered version before ordering it.
One spindle speed, 24,000 rpm on BT-30, with two motor ratings: 6 kW (8.0 hp) as standard or 15 kW (20.1 hp) as an option. The 15 kW motor raises the power requirement from 35 kVA to 45 kVA. Cooling is by oil cooler and lubrication by grease.
16 tools, selected by fixed address. The table lists a maximum diameter of Ø16 mm (Ø0.6 in), length of 200 mm (7.9 in) and weight of 3 kg (6.6 lb). That points the machine at small end mills, drills and engraving tools rather than face milling.
