Hwacheon VT 550R – Vertical CNC Lathe Ø650 mm with 12-position Turret

The Hwacheon VT 550R is a vertical CNC lathe engineered for medium- to large-diameter components, providing excellent rigidity, stability, and cutting performance. The vertical structure improves thermal stability and allows natural workpiece support, ensuring consistent accuracy. Equipped with a Fanuc 18i-TB control system and a Ø500 mm hydraulic chuck, it is well-suited for continuous and heavy-duty production environments.

Benefits for your production:

• Superior stability thanks to the vertical structure supporting workpiece weight.

• Reduced cycle times with a fast-indexing 12-station turret.

• Ideal for heavy parts up to 800 kg without loss of precision.

• Proven reliability with Fanuc CNC, suitable for automation and robotic integration.
