Independent feed and processing areas

To prevent the lubricant from dripping on the work surface, the work area and the feed area have been completely separated. The machine’s environment-friendly design doesn’t require a water-oil separator because the lubricant and the cooling fluid work independently–such design is ideal for processing automobile parts such as brake disks, brake drums, and brake hubs.

Highly rigid spindle design

The spindle in VT-450 provides powerful chucking for stable, precise machining. The Hwacheon clean room assembly facility, where these super-precision, super-speed spindles are manufactured, maintains optimal temperature and humidity, and is kept free of any foreign substances. Only the most skilled master engineers are allowed in the assembly facility, to produce only the best equipment under the toughest quality standard in the industry

High Power Transmission

The gear transmission system allows for high-torque turning at low speed and also high speed turning. The transmission and the spindle motor are designed separately so that the heat and the vibration generated from the transmission don’t interfere with the spindle axis. Max. torque: 1,981Nm (when the αp40 motor is equipped with the transmission system)
