HWACHEON Hi-Tech 550 Horizontal Turning Center

High Performance Horizontal Turning Center


The Hi-TECH 550 incorporates a tough box way design which makes it an ideal turning center for heavy-duty hard turning. It is equipped with a long bed for extra-long workpieces, as well as a programmable tailstock and steady rest for stability and precision. The machining precision is enhanced even further as all of the Hi-TECH 550’s axes can be installed with highly accurate linear scales. A fast turret indexing time of 0.2 seconds per step also increases productivity.

Box Way Design

Hi-TECH 550’s box way guide design improves rigidity and precision after many hours of continued operation.

Hand-Scraped to Perfection

The guide-ways are hand-scraped and polished to the highest precision based on Hwacheon‘s 60 years craftmanship experience, this to reduce vibration and allows precision feed during heavy operations

High-Performance Spindle

Hwacheon’s unique spindle technology delivers quality and precision at high-speed cutting.

High Torque Transmission (Option)

The gear-driven transmission provides power and versatility. It provides high torque at low speeds without compromising high-speed operation and performance. The transmission assembly and the spindle motor have been designed away from the spindle to limit heat and vibration transfer.
