Tradition Meets Modernity

Over 80 years of detailed experience: Hwacheon combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Our expertise in machine tool manufacturing ensures high production quality and continuous innovation for future-proof concepts in the German market.

Flat Guides

Hi-TECH 230 has Flachführungen available

Excellent Damping Properties: Box or flat guides effectively absorb vibrations from the machining process by transferring them into the machine bed due to their large contact surface. Hand-fitted and scraped by experienced staff, these guides ensure precision. Central oil lubrication provides continuous lubrication with bedway oil, while the Turcite coating on the sliding surface offers excellent emergency running properties. Machines with flat guides are more durable and can handle higher chip volumes. Thanks to these unique features, they are considered particularly powerful and reliable.

Features of Hi-TECH 230

Y-Axis

Hi-TECH 230 has Y-Achse available

Greater Flexibility and Time Savings: Lathes with a Y-axis enable 3-axis interpolation movements and the creation of off-center bores and milling operations. This allows workpieces to be fully machined in a single setup, eliminating operations on other machines and increasing machining accuracy. Additionally, they optimize grooving and parting processes by reducing lever forces for faster workflows.

Counter Spindle

Hi-TECH 230 has Gegenspindel available

Precision in Every Dimension: Lathes with a counter spindle enable back-side machining of workpieces and can alternatively be used as an NC tailstock. This back-side machining saves time and effort by eliminating the need for re-clamping on another machine. It also improves precision since the workpiece does not need realignment. For enhanced process stability and safe ejection of finished workpieces, optional pneumatic or mechanical ejectors and spindle flushing can be added.

Driven Tools

Precision and Versatility Combined: Driven tools on lathes significantly expand machining capabilities. They enable milling, drilling, and other processes directly on the lathe, reducing re-clamping operations and minimizing downtime. Using various tools in a single setup increases machining accuracy and boosts overall productivity.

High-Quality Pretensioned Ball Screws

Thermal Stability for Precision and Reliability: Pretensioned ball screws reliably and stably compensate for thermal expansion. This technology prevents unwanted elongation of the spindles, ensuring lasting precision and consistently high machining accuracy over extended operating periods.

Excellent Chip Disposal

Perfect Chip Removal for Your Machine!: Our innovative chip disposal systems reliably remove chips, reduce heat, and optimize machining. High-quality components ensure uninterrupted operation and maximum process reliability.
