How much does the Hwacheon HiT-400L cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hwacheon HiT-400L 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 HiT-400L is the long-table member of the HiT family, with 700 mm (27.6 in) of X travel over an 800 x 400 mm (31.5 x 15.7 in) table. Y is 400 mm (15.7 in), Z is 300 mm (11.8 in), the spindle takes BBT-30 tooling and every axis rapids at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).
X travel and table length are what separate it from the HiT-400, which has a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table and weighs 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). The HiT-400L weighs 2,600 kg (5,732 lb) and needs 2,140 x 2,085 mm (84.3 x 82.1 in) of floor. A longer table suits a row of vises or a multi-part fixture along X, but the table rating does not rise with it: it remains 200 kg (441 lb), so steel fixtures across the full length should be weighed first.
Three spindle versions are offered, each tied to a control. The 12K reaches 12,000 rpm on FANUC 0i-MF, the 15K reaches 15,000 rpm on SIEMENS-828D and the 24K reaches 24,000 rpm on either. Power ratings are 7.5 / 5.5 kW (10.1 / 7.4 hp) for FANUC and 7.2 / 4.8 kW (9.7 / 6.4 hp) for SIEMENS. The spindle is direct-coupled and grease-lubricated, the 24K has an oil cooler, and through-spindle coolant can be added, taking the tank from 200 L (53 US gal) to 300 L (79 US gal).
The 21 tools are selected by fixed address and changed in 1.6 sec chip to chip. Each may be up to Ø80 mm (Ø3.1 in), 200 mm (7.9 in) long and 2.5 kg (5.5 lb). The spindle nose travels 150 to 450 mm (5.9 to 17.7 in) above the table. Installation needs 25 kVA, 220V, 60Hz for FANUC or 380V, 60Hz for SIEMENS, and air at 5 kg/cm².
Work that outgrows the 200 kg (441 lb) rating points to the SIRIUS-UM+, which has an 850 x 500 mm (33.5 x 19.7 in) table rated 800 kg (1,764 lb) and a 20,000 rpm BBT-40 or 32,000 rpm HSK-E40 spindle.
