Our best estimate for the Hwacheon M2-5AX is $250,000 - $380,000. This is an estimate for a 5-axis machining 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-m2-5ax#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
X, Y and Z rapid at 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). The rotary axes are slower: A at 8.3 rpm and C at 33.3 rpm. A covers +30° to -120° and C turns 360°, so parts that need large tilts between operations spend more time on the A axis than on linear moves.
The 20K (20,000 rpm, 37 / 18.5 kW, BBT-40 or optional CAT-40) carries tools up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 8 kg (17.6 lb) and suits general work. The 30K (30,000 rpm, 18.5 / 13 kW, HSK-E40) is for small tools: Ø60 mm (Ø2.4 in) with neighbours, 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 3 kg (6.6 lb) at most.
The M1-5AX has a Ø300 mm (Ø11.8 in) table rated 200 kg (441 lb), spindles of 20,000 or 32,000 rpm and a 30-tool magazine with 40 or 60 as options. The M2-5AX has a Ø500 mm (Ø19.7 in) table rated 300 kg (661 lb), spindles of 20,000 or 30,000 rpm and 30 tools, and it tilts on an A axis rather than a B axis.
A 65 kVA supply, compressed air at 0.5 to 0.7 MPa with 690 NL/min, and floor for a 3,025 x 3,695 mm (119.1 x 145.5 in) machine that is 3,090 mm (121.7 in) tall. It weighs 11,000 kg (24,251 lb) and has a 400 L (106 US gal) coolant tank.
