The price estimate for the Hwacheon M4-5AX 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-m4-5ax#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The 8K is the high-torque spindle: 8,000 rpm and 55 / 30 kW (73.8 / 40.2 hp), on Ø100 mm (Ø3.9 in) bearings with Ø120 mm as an option. The 12K runs to 12,000 rpm and is rated 30 / 25 kW (40.2 / 33.5 hp). Both take BBT-50 tooling, with CAT-50, HSK-A100 and SK-50 as options.
The M3-5AX is a 40-taper machine with spindles from 14,000 to 24,000 rpm, a Ø700 x 540 mm (Ø27.6 x 21.3 in) table rated 800 kgf (1,764 lb) and a 40-tool magazine. The M4-5AX moves to BBT-50, spindles of 8,000 or 12,000 rpm, a Ø800 x 630 mm (Ø31.5 x 24.8 in) table rated 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) and 30 tools with a 60-tool option.
Tools up to 400 mm (15.7 in) long and 20 kg (44 lb). The magazine holds 30 tools, or 60 with the option, and uses fixed-address selection. The pull stud is a 90° type, so check that existing BBT-50 holders carry matching studs before sharing them with this machine.
125 kVA of supply and a footprint of 5,126 x 6,336 mm (201.8 x 249.4 in), or 5,126 x 6,570 mm (201.8 x 258.7 in) with 60 tools. Height is 4,252 mm (167.4 in). The machine weighs 28,000 kg (61,729 lb), or 28,500 kg (62,831 lb) with the 60-tool magazine, and has a 550 L coolant tank.
