For applications in tool, die, and mould making, from precision components to heavy-duty cutting, the M3 sets a new standard. No other machine in this segment stands out as much with its substantial weight, twin drives, and extremely stable guideways. The M3 meets all requirements for dynamic heavy-duty cutting and is also suited for high cutting volumes.

High rapid traverse speeds (up to 48 m/min) and feed forces are ensured by the twin drive on the Y-axis with 2 x 4 kW power. The A-axis of the rotary table is equipped with two high-precision servomotors (2 x 4 kW) and high-accuracy rotary encoders (0.0001°). The entire machine concept of the M3 and M4 is based on stability, precision, and durability. The thermosymmetrical, FEM-optimized construction, along with actively cooled feed drives and our in-house spindle, guarantees consistent precision and endurance.

The M3’s substantial 21-tonne weight underscores Hwacheon’s philosophy in designing and manufacturing high-quality machines for tool, mould, and die making. As a market leader in this significant South Korean industrial segment, Hwacheon is renowned for stability, performance, precision, and durability.

To ensure high quality standards, the spindles, machine bed, and rotary table are developed and manufactured in-house.

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.

Dynamic Linear Guides

Speed and Dynamics Combined: Linear roller guides provide high dynamics and rapid traverse speeds. The workpiece weight is transferred linearly to the rollers, which must withstand enormous pressure at contact points. Therefore, we exclusively use linear roller guides from renowned manufacturers.

Features of M3-5AX

HSC Spindle

Ultimate Precision, Maximum Speed: HSC spindles utilize high speeds and fast feeds to achieve higher material removal rates despite reduced cutting depth. This combination lowers machining forces and minimizes heat input through rapid chip removal. Primarily used in tool and mold making, they meet the highest standards for surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and contour fidelity.

Dynamic Linear Guides

Speed and Dynamics Combined: Linear roller guides provide high dynamics and rapid traverse speeds. The workpiece weight is transferred linearly to the rollers, which must withstand enormous pressure at contact points. Therefore, we exclusively use linear roller guides from renowned manufacturers.

Internal Coolant Supply

ICS Makes the Difference!: The internal coolant supply (ICS) delivers coolant directly to the cutting edge, optimizing lubrication and chip removal. It boosts productivity, extends tool life, and enhances process reliability.

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.

Automatic Workpiece Changer

Autonomy and Efficiency Maximized: Automatic workpiece changers extend a machine’s unmanned operating time by independently changing workpieces without operator intervention. This supports multi-machine operation, optimizes cost-effectiveness, and maximizes machine utilization during 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.
