The price estimate for the Hwacheon VT-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-vt-2000#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The Long turns parts up to 2,100 mm (82.7 in) tall with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of cross rail (W) travel, weighs 60,500 kg (133,378 lb) and stands 6,685 mm (263.2 in). The Short takes parts up to 1,100 mm (43.3 in) with 600 mm (23.6 in) of W travel, weighs 54,000 kg (119,048 lb) and stands 5,685 mm (223.8 in).
With the standard FANUC 31i-B the table motor is 75 / 60 kW (100.6 / 80.5 hp) and torque 49,863 Nm (36,779 lb-ft). With the optional SIEMENS 840D sl it is 88 / 58 kW (118.0 / 77.8 hp) and 58,506 Nm (43,154 lb-ft), and the milling spindle is 30 / 22 kW (40.2 / 29.5 hp) instead of 26 / 22 kW (34.9 / 29.5 hp).
The C-axis drive is a double pinion as standard and a single pinion as an option. The table is rated 15,000 kgf (33,069 lb), but on the milling version with a single pinion the rating is 5,000 kgf (11,023 lb). For heavy parts on a milling machine, keep the double pinion.
The VT-1650 has a Ø1,650 mm (Ø64.96 in) table, turns Ø2,000 mm (Ø78.74 in) and carries 10,000 kgf (22,046 lbf). The VT-3000 has a Ø3,000 mm (Ø118.1 in) table, turns Ø4,000 mm (Ø157.5 in) and carries 30,000 kgf (66,138 lb). The VT-2000 sits between them at Ø2,000 mm, Ø2,500 mm and 15,000 kgf.
