Our best estimate for the Hwacheon Sirius 500 is $90,000 - $130,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) 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-sirius-500#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
It is not in Hwacheon's current lineup and may be an older model. The figures on this page are listed figures that have not been checked against the manufacturer, so confirm spindle, travels and options on the actual machine before buying.
The listed spindle is a built-in BT 40 unit running to 12,000 RPM, rated 18.5/15 kW (24.8/20.1 hp), with through-spindle coolant at 30 bar (435 PSI) listed as standard.
Check that the 24-position tool changer, the 30 bar (435 PSI) through-spindle coolant and the Fanuc 0i-MF Plus control are actually fitted, and ask for a recent accuracy check against the listed ±0.003 mm (±0.00012 in) positioning figure.
The SIRIUS-UM+ has an 850 x 500 mm (33.5 x 19.7 in) table rated 800 kg (1,764 lb), a 20,000 rpm BBT-40 or 32,000 rpm HSK-E40 spindle and 30 tools, with 40 or 60 optional. The SIRIUS-UM+ weighs 8,000 kg (17,637 lb).
