The price estimate for the Hwacheon VESTA-2000 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-2000#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The table is 2,000 x 850 mm (78.7 x 33.5 in) and rated for 1,800 kg (3,968 lb). Travels are 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in X, 850 mm (33.5 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z, and the spindle nose comes within 150 mm (5.9 in) of the table and rises to 950 mm (37.4 in).
The VESTA-1650 has a 1,700 x 750 mm (66.9 x 29.5 in) table for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) and offers BT-40 magazines of 40 or 60 tools. The VESTA-2000 has a 2,000 x 850 mm (78.7 x 33.5 in) table for 1,800 kg (3,968 lb), a 30-tool BT-40 magazine with no option, and weighs 12,700 kg (27,998 lb) with BT-40.
BT-40 at 10,000, 12,000 or 15,000 rpm, rated 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp), suits finishing and smaller tools. The 8,000 rpm BT-50 takes larger and heavier tools and is rated 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp), or 26 / 22 kW (34.9 / 29.5 hp) with through-spindle coolant. The 12K and 15K spindles use air-oil bearings; the 10K and BT-50 use grease.
45 kVA for either spindle, 55 kVA for BT-50 with through-spindle coolant, and air at 0.5 ~ 0.7 MPa x 690 NL/min. Floor space is 5,980 x 3,698 mm (235.4 x 145.6 in), or 4,970 x 3,753 mm (195.7 x 147.8 in) with the optional layout, and height is 3,650 mm (143.7 in). It weighs up to 13,900 kg (30,644 lb).
