The price estimate for the Hwacheon HiREX-4000 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-hirex-4000#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The Y620 gives 620 mm (24.4 in) of Y, a 650 x 4,500 mm (25.6 x 177.2 in) table, six T-slots and 4,650 kg (10,251 lb) of table load. The Y520 gives 520 mm (20.5 in) of Y, a 550 x 4,500 mm (21.7 x 177.2 in) table and 4,300 kg (9,480 lb), but faster rapids of 30 / 36 / 36 m/min (1,181 / 1,417 / 1,417 ipm) and a narrower 3,010 mm (118.5 in) floor width.
A direct-drive BT-40 spindle at 10,000 rpm or 12,000 rpm. The 10K version gives 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp), with 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) as an option, and is cooled by a fan cooler. The 12K version gives 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) and uses an oil cooler. Tool shanks are BT-40, with BBT-40, CAT-40 and SK-40 as options.
The Hwacheon HiREX-5000 has 5,000 mm (196.9 in) of X, a 550 x 5,500 mm (21.7 x 216.5 in) table and 5,800 kg (12,787 lb) of table load, and weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb). The HiREX-4000 offers 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X on a 4,500 mm (177.2 in) table, but adds the wider Y620 version. Spindles, magazine and control are shared.
A 45 kVA supply and 0.5 ~ 0.7 MPa x 690 NL/min of air. Floor space is 7,700 x 3,010 mm (303.1 x 118.5 in) for the Y520 or 7,700 x 3,175 mm (303.1 x 125.0 in) for the Y620, and height is 3,000 mm (118.1 in), or 3,250 mm (128.0 in) with through-spindle coolant.
