The price estimate for the Hwacheon VT-4500 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-4500#price; the request is passed to Hwacheon or an authorised dealer.
The VT-4500 has a Ø4,500 mm (Ø177.2 in) table and turns Ø5,000 mm (Ø196.9 in), against Ø3,000 mm (Ø118.1 in) and Ø4,000 mm (Ø157.5 in) on the VT-3000. Against the VT-3000 it carries 40,000 kgf instead of 30,000 kgf, gives 162,268 Nm of torque instead of 100,299 Nm, and tops out at 50 rpm instead of 100 rpm.
1 ~ 50 rpm in 2 steps, from a 129 / 105 kW (173.0 / 140.8 hp) motor through a double-pinion drive, with 162,268 Nm (119,689 lb-ft) of torque. On the largest diameters even 50 rpm gives a high surface speed, so torque rather than speed sets the limit.
A 38 / 30 kW (51.0 / 40.2 hp) milling spindle with a BT-50 taper, running to 1,500 rpm. The C axis indexes in 0.001° steps, turns at up to 0.5 rpm and feeds at 0 ~ 180 deg/min. Milling tools can weigh up to 100 kgf (220 lb).
A foundation for 140,000 kg (308,644 lb), 9,800 mm (385.8 in) of height and 11,500 x 7,500 mm (452.8 x 295.3 in) of floor. Power is 200 kVA at 380 V, 60 Hz, and the air supply 5 ~ 7 bar.
