The price estimate for the Hwacheon M3-5AX 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-m3-5ax#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
Three spindles: the 14K high-torque at 37 / 22 kW (49.6 / 29.5 hp), and the 20K and 24K at 37 / 18.5 kW (49.6 / 24.8 hp). The control is a Fanuc 31i-B5. On the 20K spindle a Heidenhain iTNC 640 is an option, and with it the spindle is listed at 24 kW (32.2 hp).
The M4-5AX is the heavier machine: a Ø800 x 630 mm (Ø31.5 x 24.8 in) table rated 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), BBT-50 spindles of 8,000 or 12,000 rpm and 28,000 kg (61,729 lb) of weight. The M3-5AX stays at BBT-40 with spindles from 14,000 to 24,000 rpm, a table rated 800 kgf (1,764 lb) and a weight of 21,000 kgf (46,297 lb).
40 as standard, with 60 or 90 as options, selected by memory random. A tool can be Ø80 mm (Ø3.1 in) with neighbours in place or Ø160 mm (Ø6.3 in) with the adjacent pockets empty, 320 mm (12.6 in) long and 8 kg (18 lb).
The table is Ø700 x 540 mm (Ø27.6 x 21.3 in) and carries 800 kgf (1,764 lb), with five 18 mm T-slots at 100 mm pitch. Travels are 750 mm (29.5 in) in X, 900 mm (35.4 in) in Y and 550 mm (21.7 in) in Z, and spindle nose to table runs from 140 to 690 mm (5.5 to 27.2 in).
A 100 kVA supply, a 550 L coolant tank and floor for a 4,100 x 6,595 mm (161.4 x 259.6 in) footprint with 3,855 mm (151.8 in) of height. The machine weighs 21,000 kgf (46,297 lb), so the foundation needs checking before it arrives.
