The price estimate for the Hwacheon MEGAIII-260 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-megaiii-260#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The MEGAIII-260 turns up to Ø2,600 mm (Ø102.36 in) over the bed against Ø2,000 mm (Ø78.74 in) on the MEGAIII-200, and it is heavier, 81 t (178,573 lb) against 77 t (169,754 lb) with the 6000 bed. Chuck, spindle nose, speed range, torque and drive power are the same on both.
X travel is 1,100 mm (43.31 in). Swing over the bed is Ø2,650 mm (Ø104.33 in), and swing over the cross slide is listed as Ø480 ~ Ø2,200 mm (Ø18.90 ~ Ø86.61 in). Check the cross-slide figure against the largest diameter that has to pass the carriage, not only against the turning diameter.
Five distances between centres: 6,000 / 8,000 / 10,000 / 12,000 / 17,000 mm. The beds are 10,100 / 12,100 / 14,100 / 16,100 / 21,110 mm long, Z travel is 6,300 / 8,300 / 10,300 / 12,300 / 17,300 mm, and overall machine length runs from 13,500 mm (531.5 in) to 24,500 mm (964.57 in).
When the part is short and wide. The VT-2000 turns up to Ø2,500 mm (Ø98.4 in) on a Ø2,000 mm (Ø78.7 in) table and carries 15,000 kgf (33,069 lb). The MEGAIII-260 holds the part between centres, so it suits long shafts and rolls up to 17,000 mm (669.29 in) and 25 t (55,115 lb).
1 ~ 130 rpm over three automatic steps, with a 136 / 92 kW (182.38 / 123.37 hp) drive and 12,713 kgf·m (124,672 Nm) of torque. The spindle nose is a special Ø300 x 280 type carrying a 63 in chuck, and the control is a SIEMENS 828D.
