The price estimate for the Hwacheon HiREX-5000 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-5000#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The Hwacheon HiREX-4000 has a 4,500 mm (177.2 in) table in 550 or 650 mm widths, rated up to 4,650 kg (10,251 lb). The HiREX-5000 has a 550 x 5,500 mm (21.7 x 216.5 in) table rated at 5,800 kg (12,787 lb). The Hwacheon HiREX-6000 goes to a 650 x 6,500 mm (25.6 x 255.9 in) table rated at 7,300 kg (16,094 lb).
Both are direct-drive BT-40. The 10K spindle runs to 10,000 rpm on 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp), or 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) with the option, and is fan cooled. The 12K spindle runs to 12,000 rpm on 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) and is oil cooled. Pick the 12K for small tools in aluminium; the 10K covers general steel work.
24 tools, or 30 with the option, selected by memory random. Tools may be up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 8 kg (18 lb), and up to Ø80 mm (Ø3.1 in) with adjacent tools in place or Ø150 mm (Ø5.9 in) without. Pull studs are MAS P40T-1 (45˚).
A 45 kVA supply, 0.5 ~ 0.7 MPa x 690 NL/min of air and 8,680 x 3,010 mm (341.7 x 118.5 in) of floor. Height is 3,000 mm (118.1 in), or 3,250 mm (128.0 in) with through-spindle coolant. The coolant tank holds 760 L (201 US gal) and the machine weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb).
