The price estimate for the Hwacheon U1 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-u1#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
A 15,000 rpm ISO#40 BBT-40 spindle rated 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp), with bearings on a Ø70 mm (Ø2.8 in) bore, air-oil lubrication and jacket cooling. CAT-40, HSK-A63 and SK-40 shanks are options.
The 20-tool swing-arm changer takes tools up to 200 mm (7.9 in) long and 8 kg (17.6 lb). Diameter is Ø75 mm (Ø3.0 in) with adjacent tools loaded and Ø150 mm (Ø5.9 in) with the neighbouring pockets empty.
The Hi-M G1 runs a 24,000 rpm HSK-E40 spindle rated 9.5 kW (12.7 hp) over a 750 x 620 mm (29.5 x 24.4 in) table rated 400 kg (882 lb), and weighs 4,800 kg (10,582 lb). The U1 trades speed for a 40-taper spindle rated 18.5 / 15 kW (24.8 / 20.1 hp) and a 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load, at 6,500 kg (14,330 lb).
The U1 weighs 6,500 kg (14,330 lb), measures (1,700+300) x 2,661 mm (78.7 x 104.8 in) and is 2,714 mm (106.9 in) tall. It needs 55 kVA and 0.5 ~ 0.7 MPa x 690 Nℓ/min of compressed air. The coolant tank holds 190 L (50 US gal).
