The price estimate for the Hwacheon Hi-TECH 700BB/BB+ 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-tech-700bb#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The spindle. The BB has an A2-15 nose, Ø185 mm (Ø7.3 in) bore, Ø180 mm (Ø7.1 in) bar capacity and 1,300 rpm. The BB+ has an A2-20 nose, Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in) bore, Ø295 mm (Ø11.6 in) bar capacity and 1,000 rpm. Both have 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp). The BB+ weighs 18,700 kg (41,226 lb) against 15,850 kg (34,943 lb).
The Hi-TECH 700 has a 15 in chuck on an A2-11 nose, a Ø132 mm (Ø5.2 in) bore, Ø116 mm (Ø4.6 in) bar, 37 / 30 kW (49.6 / 40.2 hp) and 1,800 rpm. Travels and turning diameter are the same as on the Hi-TECH 700: Ø680 mm (Ø26.8 in), 360 mm (14.2 in) of X and 2,050 mm (80.7 in) of Z.
The table lists only optional air chucks: Ø470 mm (Ø18.5 in) for the 700BB and Ø630 mm (Ø24.8 in) for the 700BB+. Ask for the workholding to be quoted with the machine, particularly if tube will be held at both ends of the spindle.
Yes, the MC version. Driven tools run to 2,000 rpm on a 7.5 / 5.5 kW (10.1 / 7.4 hp) motor and take end mills up to Ø32 mm and ER 50 collets, with a C axis indexing in 0.0001° steps. It adds weight: 16,200 kg (35,715 lb) for the BB and 18,900 kg (41,667 lb) for the BB+.
The machine measures 5,380 x 2,282 x 2,535 mm (211.8 x 89.8 x 99.8 in), slightly longer than the standard Hi-TECH 700. It needs a 75 kVA supply and the coolant tank holds 300 L (79 US gal).
