Vertical machining center delivers fast roughing and precise finishing

The Hwacheon Machinery VESTA 1000 vertical machining center delivers stable, high-speed, precision machining and long-term productivity. Axis travels are 1,000mm x 550mm x 500mm (X, Y, and Z), with a table surface of 43.31" x 19.69", load capacity of more than 1,500 lb, and distance from table surface to gage plane of 5.12" to 24.8".

The 25hp motor develops a maximum spindle speed of 12,000rpm. The addition of Hwacheon’s adaptive software suite make the VESTA 1000 a high-performance machine for fast roughing and precise finishing. Quick programming of the machine offers fast mode is for roughing or precision mode for finish machining.

Software monitors environmental- and machining-related variables and adjusts the process automatically, minimizing cycle times and optimizing machining results. Hwacheon Tool Load Detection (HTLD) software constantly detects and diagnoses tool load to reduce tool wear and prevent damage. Hwacheon High-Efficiency Contour Control (HECC) provides precise contour control for better machining efficiency while the OPTIMA cutting feed optimization system controls feed rate, reducing cycle time as much as 25%.

The spindle is grease-lubricated and jacket cooled to minimize thermal displacement and to increase spindle life.

A rapid feed (X/Y/Z of 1,417ipm/ 1,417ipm/1,180ipm) permits quick positioning of the tools. A 24- or 30-position tool magazine, carrying tools up to 6" diameter and 12" in length offers tool-to-tool change time of 1.5 seconds.
