Stable high-power roughing and precise dynamic finishing

The generously proportioned box guideways and twin drives on the X and Y axes ensure accuracy and high cutting rates. The compressed-air-charged box guideways feature a very low break-loose torque and guarantee smooth, uniform movement. The high-torque gear spindle, supported by Hwacheon’s unique oil-jet cooling system, delivers stable high-performance cutting and top-quality machining, even during extended operations.

The zero-backlash, pre-loaded worm drive on the B-axis, paired with a directly regulating rotary encoder, ensures that your precision requirements are met. The robust, extremely rigid machine bed and stand—designed and optimized using FEM—further enhance the machining quality of finished workpieces. Combined with Hwacheon’s exclusive software components, you achieve greater efficiency, higher productivity, and improved process reliability.

Highlights

Robust, rigid machine structure

The solid machine bed provides maximum rigidity to the feed drives, while the thermo-symmetrical design maintains geometric precision.

High-precision twin drive

The high-precision twin drives on the X and Y axes minimize yaw torque during translational motion.

Gear spindle

The 2-speed spindle drive with automatic transmission offers high-torque cutting performance at low speeds and excellent results at high speeds.

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

H6 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.

Innovative Air-Floating System

H6 has Air-Floating-System available

Air Assistance for Smooth Precision and Perfect Control!: By using compressed air in the gap of the flat guides, we effectively reduce breakaway torque and minimize the slip-stick effect, ensuring optimal distribution of bedway oil and smooth movements even over short distances. At Hwacheon, we rely on solid craftsmanship and manufacture our flat guides in-house, including Turcite coating and precisely machined lubrication and air grooves. This technology ensures uniform motion behavior, resulting in the highest contour and positioning accuracy.

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.
