The zero-backlash, pre-loaded worm drive on the B-axis, combined with a directly regulating rotary encoder, ensures that your accuracy requirements are met. The solid and extremely rigid structure of the machine bed and stand – designed and dimensioned using FEM – further contributes to the high machining quality of finished workpieces. Paired with Hwacheon’s exclusive software components, this results in greater efficiency, higher productivity, and enhanced process safety.

The exceptionally stable rotary table enables 90° indexing in just 1.4 seconds, significantly reducing non-productive times. The fast tool changer, with a chip-to-chip time of only 4.6 seconds, provides an additional boost to productivity.

Features of AF-4

Pallet Changer

AF-4 has Palettenwechsler available

Setup Without Time Loss: A pallet changer enables setup during main time, meaning while one pallet is being machined, another can be prepared. This process increases machine efficiency and utilization, reduces idle times, and leads to higher 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.

Effective Core Cooling of Ball Screws

Cool Efficiency for Longevity: The cooling system uses actively tempered oil that flows through a central bore in the ball screw. Precise temperature control reduces thermal expansion, increases accuracy, and minimizes wear, thereby extending the system’s lifespan.

Thermally Insulated Machine Components

Consistent Precision Despite Environmental Influences: Fluctuating temperatures due to drafts or waste heat can impair machining accuracy. Thermal insulation of relevant machine components significantly reduces this effect and maintains machining precision. This ensures quality regardless of environmental influences.

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.
