The price estimate for the Hwacheon VT-450 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-450#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
Four: the VT-450 in right- or left-hand build (R, L), the VT-450 / MC with driven tools, the twin-spindle VT-450 / 2SP, and the VT-450 / 2SP / MC. The 2SP versions use 12 + 12 in chucks, 8 + 8 or 10 + 10 turret stations and a 2-path control.
Up to Ø460 mm (Ø18.1 in) and 460 mm (18.1 in) long on the standard machine, or Ø445 mm (Ø17.5 in) and 394 mm (15.5 in) on the MC. Swing over the bed is Ø610 mm (Ø24.0 in) and the standard turning diameter is Ø305 mm (Ø12.0 in), or Ø248.2 mm (Ø9.8 in) on the MC.
They are rated 3.7 / 2.2 kW (5.0 / 3.0 hp) and 3,000 rpm, with Ø16 mm drilling and M12 tapping capacity. C-axis indexing is 0.0001°. That covers bolt circles and cross holes; heavier milling needs a larger machine.
7,500 kgf (16,535 lb) for the standard machine and 7,550 kgf (16,645 lb) for the MC. The 2SP weighs 15,400 kgf (33,951 lb) and the 2SP / MC 15,500 kgf (34,171 lb). Supply is 40 kVA, or 75 kVA for the 2SP. The coolant tank holds 150 L, or 150 + 150 L on the 2SP.
The VT-650 turns up to Ø800 mm (Ø31.5 in) and 750 mm (29.5 in) on an 18 in chuck with an A2-11 nose, and runs 1,500 rpm as standard. The VT-450 is smaller, Ø460 mm (Ø18.1 in) and 460 mm (18.1 in), but reaches 2,500 rpm. Both use 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp) spindles.
