How much does the Hwacheon VESTA-800 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hwacheon VESTA-800 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 VESTA-800 is a compact 40-taper vertical with 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, 550 mm (21.65 in) of Y and 550 mm (21.65 in) of Z over a 1,000 x 550 mm (39.4 x 21.7 in) table, in a machine of 4,300 kgf (9,479 lbf) that needs only 25 kVA. It comes as an STD or a PRO version, and the choice changes both spindle and rapids.
The STD machine offers two spindle ratings. One runs to 10,000 rpm at 11 / 7.5 kW (15 / 10 HP); the other runs to 10,000 / 12,000 rpm at 18.5 / 11 kW (25 / 15 HP). The PRO version runs to 15,000 rpm at 18.5 / 11 kW and raises X and Y rapids from 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) to 42 m/min (1,654 ipm), with Z at 36 m/min in both. Through-spindle coolant versions are optional and raise the supply to 30 kVA. All spindles take BBT-40 (CAT-40 and SK-40 optional) on a Ø70 mm (Ø2.76 in) bearing bore.
The spindle nose comes down to 90 mm (3.54 in) above the table, giving a range of 90 ~ 640 mm (3.54 ~ 25.2 in), so short tools reach thin plates without a riser. Five 18 x 90 mm (0.71 x 3.54 in) T-slots cross the table, which is rated 600 kgf (1,322.77 lbf). The spindle centre is 590 mm (23.23 in) from the column.
The magazine holds 24 tools as standard and 30 as an option, memory random, for tools up to 300 mm (11.81 in) long, 8 kgf (17.64 lbf), and Ø80 / Ø150 mm (Ø3.15 / Ø5.91 in) with / without adjacent tools. The coolant tank is 390 L (103.3 gal), with 690 L (182.3 gal) as an option.
Against the VESTA-850B, which has a geared 8,000 rpm BT-40 or 6,000 rpm BT-50 spindle and 800 kg (1,764 lb) of table load, the VESTA-800 is the faster, lighter choice for high-speed work in a smaller footprint of 3,085 x 2,596 mm (121.46 x 102.2 in). It stands 2,906 mm (114.41 in) tall and runs a Fanuc 0i-MF Plus.
