For applications in tool, die, and mould making, from precision components to heavy-duty cutting, the M4 sets a new standard. No other machine in this segment stands out with its substantial weight, twin drives, and exceptionally stable guideways like this one. The M4 thus meets all requirements for dynamic heavy-duty cutting while also being suited to high cutting rates.

The twin drive on the Y-axis, with a drive power of 2 x 7 kW, ensures high rapid traverse speeds (up to 36 m/min) and strong feed forces. Likewise, the A-axis of the rotary table is equipped with two high-precision servomotors (2 x 7 kW) and a high-precision rotary encoder (0.0001°). The entire machine concept of the M4 is built on stability, precision, and durability. Its thermosymmetrical, FEM-optimised construction, along with actively cooled feed drives and an in-house manufactured spindle, guarantees consistently high precision and sustained performance.

The substantial 28-tonne weight of the M4 underscores Hwacheon’s philosophy in the design and production of high-quality machines for tool, mould, and die making. As the market leader in this significant South Korean economic segment, Hwacheon is renowned for stability, high performance, precision, and durability.

To achieve its unique stability, the M4 machining centre is fitted with box guideways on the Z-axis, three linear guideways on the X-axis, and six runners on two linear guideways on the Y-axis. Paired with Hwacheon’s High-Torque Spindle (1,009 Nm torque), this creates a market-leading combination that excels in all disciplines and provides you with a decisive competitive edge.

To ensure high quality standards, the spindles, machine bed, and rotary table are designed 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.

Flat Guides

M4-5AX 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.

Dynamic Linear Guides

M4-5AX has Linearführungen available

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.

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.
