The price estimate for the Hwacheon VESTA-500T 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-500t#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
Two spindles, 320 mm (12.6 in) apart, ride on their own vertical axes, Z and W, each with 380 mm (15.0 in) of travel, over a shared 720 x 400 mm (28.3 x 15.7 in) table. Each has its own 24-tool magazine. Two fixtures at the same 320 mm pitch let the machine cut two parts per cycle.
Only for light work. Each 24,000 rpm BBT-30 spindle is rated 11 / 2.2 kW (14.8 / 3.0 hp), and tools are limited to 2.8 kg (6 lb). It is aimed at small tools at high speed. For heavier steel cutting the VESTA-610D, with 12,000 and 15,000 rpm BT 40 spindles rated 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp), is the closer fit.
X travel is 520 mm (20.5 in) and Y 400 mm (15.7 in), and the table takes 200 kg (441 lb) in total. Because both spindles cut at once, each part and its fixture must fit within the 320 mm (12.6 in) spacing between spindle centres.
The machine weighs 7,500 kg (16,535 lb), covers 3,337 x 1,950 mm (131.4 x 76.8 in) and stands 2,310 mm (90.9 in) tall. It needs 42 kVA and 0.5 ~ 0.7 MPa x 690 NL/min of air, and the coolant tank holds 280 L (74 US gal).
