How much does the Hwacheon VT-950+ cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Hwacheon VT-950+ 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 VT-950+ is a mid-size vertical turning center for parts up to Ø950 mm (Ø37.4 in) and 850 mm (33.5 in) high, on a 24 in chuck with a 32 in option. Swing over the bed is Ø1,100 mm (Ø43.3 in). It is built in four forms: the turret machine, the VT-950+ MG with a 16-tool magazine, the VT-950+ MC with driven tools, and the VT-950+ MG / MC with both.

The headstock is where it parts company with the A2-11 nosed VT-650. The spindle nose is a Ø380 flat type rather than an A2 nose, the front bearing is Ø240 mm (Ø9.4 in), and the motor is 30 / 22 kW (40.2 / 29.5 hp) as standard or 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp) as an option. Standard speed is 1,125 rpm. The spindle options are listed as 1,500 rpm (opt. 1), 1,125 rpm (opt. 2) and 800 rpm (opt. 3), so a buyer can trade speed for torque at the order stage; confirm which option pairs with which motor when quoting.

The turret has 12 stations, or 10 plus the 16-tool magazine on MG versions, takes □32 mm shanks and Ø60 mm boring bars, and indexes in 0.18 s/step. X travel is 505 mm (19.9 in) and Z travel 850 mm (33.5 in), both with 24 m/min (945 ipm) rapids. On MC versions the driven tools are rated 7.5 / 5.5 kW (10.1 / 7.4 hp), 11 / 7.5 kW (14.8 / 10.1 hp) as an option, at up to 3,000 rpm, with Ø32 mm drilling and M24 tapping.

Against the VT-650, which turns Ø800 mm (Ø31.5 in) by 750 mm (29.5 in) with 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp), the VT-950+ adds diameter, height and a larger motor. It needs 85 kVA, holds 266 L of coolant, stands 3,320 mm (130.7 in) tall on 2,620 x 3,598 mm (103.1 x 141.7 in) of floor (3,100 x 3,598 mm with MG) and weighs 15,000 kgf (33,069 lb) to 16,100 kgf (35,494 lb) depending on version.
