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

VT-1650 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.
