Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hwacheon MP+3708G 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 MP+3708G is a double-column machining center built for tall as well as long work: an 8,000 x 3,400 mm (314.96 x 133.86 in) table rated 40 t (88,184 lb), 9,350 mm (368.11 in) of X, 4,200 mm (165.35 in) of Y, 1,000 mm (39.37 in) of Z and a 1,000 mm (39.37 in) W axis. The distance from spindle centre to table spans 390 to 2,390 mm (15.35 to 94.09 in), so parts more than two metres tall can be brought under the spindle.
Its table is the widest of the MP+ models listed here. The MP+3706 and MP+3710 both run 3,100 mm (122.05 in) wide tables, while the MP+3708G is 3,400 mm (133.86 in) wide over its 8,000 mm length. Ten 24H8 T-slots at 350 mm pitch carry the clamping. The columns are 3,700 mm (145.67 in) apart.
The spindle is a 7 / 24 taper BT-50 at 4,000 rpm, rated 35 / 22 kW (46.91 / 29.49 hp), on a 400 mm (15.75 in) ram. Its tool changer holds 32 tools, with 60 as an option, and tools may reach 500 mm (19.69 in) in length, Ø250 mm (Ø9.84 in) with free neighbours or Ø125 mm (Ø4.92 in) without, and 25 kg (55 lb). The long tool allowance helps when reaching into deep pockets or down the side of a tall part.
This is not a fast machine, and it is not meant to be. Rapids are 10 m/min (394 ipm) in X, 12 m/min (472 ipm) in Y and Z and 2 m/min (78.7 ipm) in W; cutting feed is 7 m/min (276 ipm) on X, Y and Z. Cycle planning on long parts should allow for the X rapid.
The machine weighs 105,000 kg (231,485.4 lb), is 6,786 mm (267.16 in) high and is listed at 10,710 x 15,700 mm (421.7 x 618.1 in), length by width. It draws 125 kVA at 380V, 60Hz, needs air at 5 to 7 kg/cm² x 690 Nℓ/min and has a 1,000 L (264 US gal) coolant tank with a 2.5 kW (3.35 hp) pump on the ram. Control is FANUC 31i-B.
