Our best estimate for the Hwacheon Hi-TECH 230B is $65,000 - $90,000. 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-hi-tech-230b#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The 230A has an 8 in chuck on an A2-6 nose, 4,500 rpm, a Ø76 mm (Ø3.0 in) bore and Ø65 mm (Ø2.6 in) bar. The 230B and 230C both have a 10 in chuck on A2-8, 3,500 rpm, a Ø91 mm (Ø3.6 in) bore and Ø81 mm (Ø3.2 in) bar. The 230C is listed with the Fanuc 0i-TF Plus only, without the Siemens 828D option.
Standard, L and XL. Turning lengths are 379 mm (14.9 in), 619 mm (24.4 in) and 1,119 mm (44.1 in); Z travel is 460 mm (18.1 in), 700 mm (27.6 in) and 1,200 mm (47.2 in). Machine length is 2,893 mm (113.9 in), 3,133 mm (123.3 in) and 3,753 mm (147.8 in).
A Y axis of 120 mm (4.7 in) and a sub-spindle with a 6 in chuck, A2-5 nose, 5,000 rpm, Ø62 mm (Ø2.4 in) bore and Ø51 mm (Ø2.0 in) bar, rated 11 / 7.5 kW (14.8 / 10.1 hp). On the 230B the sub-spindle travels 640 mm (25.2 in) on the L bed or 1,140 mm (44.9 in) on the XL. YSMC machines have no tailstock.
The Hi-TECH 350 turns up to Ø420 mm (Ø16.5 in) and 661 to 673 mm (26.0 to 26.5 in) long on its standard bed, with up to 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp) on its B version and 76 mm (3.0 in) bar. The Hi-TECH 230B has more bar capacity at Ø81 mm (Ø3.2 in) and an XL bed, but an 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) spindle.
35 kVA, or 40 kVA for YMC and (Y)SMC versions. The base machine measures 2,893 x 1,849.5 x 1,800 mm (113.9 x 72.8 x 70.9 in) and weighs 5,900 kg (13,007 lb); L is 6,500 kg (14,330 lb) and XL 8,050 kg (17,747 lb).
