Single and Twin Spindle CNC Vertical Lathes

Hwacheon Machinery has released the VT-450/VT-650 single-spindle and VT-450/-650-2SP twin-spindle vertical CNC lathes designed for reducing cutting times for automotive parts such as brake discs, brake drums, hubs, and valves.

The rigid tool turret offers highspeed indexing, providing consistent and stable machining performance suitable for high-volume cutting of automotive castings and forgings.

These turning centers can be provided with the spindle on the left or the right side or as a double machine where the operator can work on two machines with one control. The machines can also be provided with a turn/mill option with a 3,000-RPM spindle to provide greater flexibility for machining more complex large parts complete.

Additionally, the company’s Lathe Tool Load Detection System software constantly detects and diagnoses the tool load during machining to reduce tool wear and prevent damage and optimize tool life.

For the VT-450, maximum spindle speed is 2,500 RPM generated by an 18.5-HP, oil-cooled spindle motor. The VT-650 spindle speed is 1,500 RPM.
