The price estimate for the Hwacheon VESTA-1650 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-vesta-1650#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
With a BT-40 spindle the standard magazine holds 30 tools, and 40 or 60 are options. With the 8,000 rpm BT-50 spindle the standard is 24 tools, and 32 or 40 are options. BT-40 tools can be Ø78 mm (Ø3.1 in) with neighbours loaded or Ø150 mm (Ø5.9 in) without; BT-50 tools Ø110 mm (Ø4.3 in) or Ø220 mm (Ø8.7 in).
The VESTA-2000 has a 2,000 x 850 mm (78.7 x 33.5 in) table rated for 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) and weighs 12,700 kg (27,998 lb) with BT-40. The VESTA-1650 has a 1,700 x 750 mm (66.9 x 29.5 in) table rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) with BT-40, and offers BT-40 magazine options of 40 or 60 tools.
The 10,000, 12,000 and 15,000 rpm BT-40 spindles are rated 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp). The 8,000 rpm BT-50 is rated 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp), or 26 / 22 kW (34.9 / 29.5 hp) in the version with through-spindle coolant. All are direct drive.
A floor space of 4,200 x 4,264 mm (165.4 x 167.9 in), 45 kVA (55 kVA for BT-50 with through-spindle coolant) and air at 0.5 ~ 0.7 MPa x 690 NL/min. Height is 3,180 mm (125.2 in) for BT-40 and 3,208 mm (126.3 in) for BT-50, more with through-spindle coolant. The coolant tank holds 500 L (132 US gal).
