The price estimate for the Hwacheon MEGA-72 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-mega-72#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
No. It uses a manual 4-way square tool post with four tool faces taking □32 mm shanks. That keeps the machine simple for one-off work, but a part needing more than four tools needs a tool change by hand during the cycle.
Two: the MEGA-72 2000 with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) between centres and 1,900 mm (74.8 in) of Z travel, and the MEGA-72 3000 with 3,000 mm (118.1 in) and 2,900 mm (114.2 in). Bed length is 3,652 mm (143.8 in) or 4,652 mm (183.1 in).
1,100 kg (2,425 lb) with the tailstock supporting the work, and 300 kg (661 lb) held in the 14 in chuck alone. Long or heavy parts therefore need a centre in the Ø90 mm (Ø3.5 in) MT No.5 quill.
The MEGA+100 is a size up: Ø1,080 mm (Ø42.52 in) over the bed against Ø720 mm (Ø28.3 in), an 18 in chuck against 14 in, and bore options of Ø155, Ø255 or Ø320 mm. The MEGA+100 tops out at 750 rpm, half the 1,500 rpm of the MEGA-72.
A SIEMENS 828D as standard, on 380 V, 60 Hz. With the optional FANUC 0i-TF Plus the supply is 220 V, 60 Hz. Either way the machine needs 38 kVA, and the coolant tank holds 180 L (48 US gal).
