Uncompromising Stability & Accuracy

Built for high-precision machining, the L1 features a rigid double-column structure that ensures maximum stability and accuracy, even in demanding applications.

  • A low centre of gravity design minimises vibration for exceptional machining quality.
  • Five-block support on the X-axis and table optimises load distribution for enhanced precision.
  • A Z-axis reinforced with three highly rigid blocks provides a superior spindle-to-Y-axis connection.
  • German-engineered roller-type linear guideways on all axes ensure outstanding durability.
  • Linear scale feedback on X/Y/Z axes (standard) offers precision monitoring.
  • Pre-tensioned, high-quality ball screws ensure smooth and accurate movement in all axes.

Engineered for High Performance & Productivity

The L1 is designed for efficiency and high-output machining, delivering superior performance across industries.

  • High-rigidity roller guideways provide smooth, precise movement in all axes.
  • Dual side chip augers and a rear discharge conveyor enable fast and efficient chip removal.
  • Innovative chip isolation covers prevent heat transfer and vibration interference.
  • An extra-wide, extended working table accommodates multiple or extra-long workpieces.
  • The Hwacheon Software Suite enhances machine performance, optimising speed, accuracy, and reliability.

High-Performance Spindle for Maximum Cutting Power

The L1 spindle, designed and manufactured by Hwacheon, is built for speed, precision, and longevity.

  • A Direct Drive System reduces vibration and increases spindle efficiency.
  • 12,000 RPM, 18.5 kW power, and up to 120 Nm torque deliver powerful cutting capabilities.
  • An optional lubrication system (grease or air-oil) tailors to specific applications.
  • BT40 or HSK-A63 spindle options meet diverse machining needs.
  • The Coolant Through Spindle (CTS) system (optional) optimises cooling during deep-hole drilling.
  • An advanced oil cooling system with a high-efficiency chiller ensures stable spindle temperatures, reducing thermal expansion and increasing lifespan.

Optimised for Light-Duty, High-Speed Machining

Perfectly suited for high-speed roughing and finishing, the L1 excels in aluminium machining, delivering fast, precise, and cost-effective results.

Designed for Maximum Operator Convenience

The L1 prioritises operator efficiency, safety, and ease of use with a user-centric design.

  • A full enclosure design prevents chips and coolant splash, ensuring a clean working environment.
  • A wide door opening enables effortless loading and unloading of large workpieces.
  • An ergonomic design ensures comfortable and efficient operator access.
  • A straight-shape coolant tank and chip conveyor system simplify maintenance and cleaning.
  • An optimised table height (700 mm from floor level) allows direct access, eliminating the need for step platforms.

Showcase of L1

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

L1 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.

High-Quality Spindle

Consistent Cooling and Lubrication for Maximum Precision: Our in-house manufactured spindles are cooled and lubricated by an innovative air-oil aerosol system, while temperature sensors ensure constant monitoring. This advanced technology guarantees exceptional durability and outstanding smoothness. Experience maximum precision with minimal thermal growth for consistent performance even under the most demanding conditions.

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.
