How much does the Hwacheon Hi-M2000 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hwacheon Hi-M2000 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Hwacheon Hi-M2000 is a long-table high-speed vertical: a 2,000 x 1,300 mm (78.7 x 51.2 in) table with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X, 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z, under a 24,000 rpm BT-30 built-in spindle. Spindle power is 6 kW (8.0 hp), or 15 kW (20.1 hp) with the optional motor, and the machine weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).
Its table is rated at 500 kg (1,102 lb), more than the 300 kg (661 lb) of the Hwacheon Hi-M1500, which matters once a full-length fixture or a large graphite block goes on. The work is still light in absolute terms: at 500 kg spread over a 2,000 mm table, this is a machine for long plates, panels and arrays of small parts rather than for heavy single pieces. Seven 16 mm T-slots at 180 mm (7.1 in) pitch run the length of the table.
Z clearance has an option of its own. The standard spindle nose distance is 100 ~ 450 mm (3.9 ~ 17.7 in), and an option moves it to 90 ~ 490 mm (3.5 ~ 19.3 in), useful when a riser or a tall fixture would otherwise eat into the tool length of 200 mm (7.9 in). Rapids are 15 m/min (591 ipm) on all three axes, below the 20 / 20 / 15 m/min (787 / 787 / 591 ipm) of the Hwacheon Hi-M1500, so on parts with many short moves the long X axis costs time; cutting feed still reaches 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm).
The spindle is grease lubricated and cooled by a water chiller. Sixteen tools are held by fixed address, with a listed maximum of Ø16 mm (Ø0.6 in) and 3 kg (6.6 lb). SIEMENS-828D is standard and FANUC 0i-MF an option, on 380V, 60Hz or 220V, 60Hz. The machine needs 40 kVA, or 50 kVA with the 15 kW spindle, plus 0.5~0.7MPa x 690Nℓ/min of air, and occupies 5,341 x 2,982 mm (210.3 x 117.4 in) at a height of 2,450 mm (96.5 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,000 x 1,300 mm (78.7 x 51.2 in) table with 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X travel
- Table load of 500 kg (1,102 lb), above the 300 kg (661 lb) of the Hwacheon Hi-M1500
- Optional spindle nose range of 90 ~ 490 mm (3.5 ~ 19.3 in) for taller setups
- 24,000 rpm BT-30 spindle, water-chiller cooled, with an optional 15 kW (20.1 hp) motor

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Hi-M2000 has 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X and a 2,000 x 1,300 mm (78.7 x 51.2 in) table rated at 500 kg (1,102 lb). The Hwacheon Hi-M1500 has a 1,500 x 1,300 mm (59.1 x 51.2 in) table rated at 300 kg (661 lb). Both run a 24,000 rpm BT-30 spindle of 6 kW (8.0 hp), 15 kW (20.1 hp) optional.
02
Z travel is 350 mm (13.8 in) with the spindle nose 100 ~ 450 mm (3.9 ~ 17.7 in) from the table as standard. An option shifts the range to 90 ~ 490 mm (3.5 ~ 19.3 in). Subtract fixture height and tool length, up to 200 mm (7.9 in), to see what part height fits.
03
Rapid traverse is 15 m/min (591 ipm) on X, Y and Z, and cutting feed runs up to 10,000 mm/min (394 ipm). On long cutting passes the feed rate decides the cycle; on parts with many short repositioning moves the rapid rate does.
04
40 kVA, or 50 kVA with the 15 kW spindle, on 380V, 60Hz for SIEMENS-828D or 220V, 60Hz for FANUC 0i-MF. Air supply is 0.5~0.7MPa x 690Nℓ/min. The machine occupies 5,341 x 2,982 mm (210.3 x 117.4 in), stands 2,450 mm (96.5 in) high and weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).
