Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Hwacheon. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hwacheon H63 is a horizontal machining center with 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallets and 800 x 800 x 900 mm (31.5 x 31.5 x 35.4 in) of X, Y and Z travel. Hwacheon no longer lists the H63 in its current lineup, so this page is written for someone looking at a used machine, and the figures are the listed figures for the model.
The listed spindle is a No. 50 taper, BT50 or CAT50, running to 10,000 RPM with 12,000 RPM as an option and rated 30/22 kW (40/30 hp). A 50-taper spindle at that speed covers roughing with larger cutters as well as finishing. Rapid traverse is listed at 60/60/60 m/min on X, Y and Z. The B axis indexes in 1-degree steps, with 0.001-degree indexing as an option for angled features that do not fall on whole degrees.
A twin-pallet changer (APC) lets one pallet be loaded while the other is in the machine, and each pallet takes 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). The magazine holds 60 tools, with a 120-tool option. Control is listed as Fanuc 30iMB and the machine weighs approx. 28,000 kg (61,728 lb).
The current horizontal on the same pallet size is the Hwacheon H6: 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallets rated at 1,600 kgf (3,527 lb), a choice of 8,000 rpm (8K) or 12,000 rpm (12K) BBT-50 spindles, 40 tools as standard and Fanuc 31i-B control. On a used H63, find out which spindle speed and magazine size the machine was built with, and run both pallets through the changer and the B axis through its index before buying.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallets with 800 x 800 x 900 mm (31.5 x 31.5 x 35.4 in) of travel
- No. 50 taper spindle (BT50 / CAT50) listed at 10,000 RPM, 12,000 RPM optional, rated 30/22 kW (40/30 hp)
- Twin-pallet changer (APC) so a part can be set up while another is cut
- 60-tool magazine with a 120-tool option
Limitations
- Pallet load is listed at 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), below the 1,600 kgf (3,527 lb) of the current Hwacheon H6
- The standard B axis indexes in 1-degree steps; 0.001-degree indexing is an option a used machine may not have
- At approx. 28,000 kg (61,728 lb) the machine needs a prepared foundation and heavy rigging to move

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Hwacheon H6 uses the same 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallet size and offers 8,000 rpm (8K) or 12,000 rpm (12K) spindles on BBT-50. Each Hwacheon H6 pallet is rated at 1,600 kgf (3,527 lb), and the machine carries 40 tools as standard with options up to 180 and runs Fanuc 31i-B control.
02
The listed spindle is a No. 50 taper, BT50 or CAT50, running to 10,000 RPM with 12,000 RPM as an option and rated 30/22 kW (40/30 hp). On a used machine, check which of the two speeds was fitted and which taper the tooling uses.
03
Each 630 x 630 mm (24.8 x 24.8 in) pallet is listed at 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). The twin-pallet changer (APC) means the machine comes with two, and the fixture, workholding and part together must stay within that figure on each.
04
X, Y and Z travels are listed as 800 x 800 x 900 mm (31.5 x 31.5 x 35.4 in), with rapid traverse of 60/60/60 m/min on the three axes. The B axis indexes in 1-degree steps, or 0.001-degree with the option.
