Hwacheon’s D2-5AX is designed for heavy duty, precise five-axis machining. With a machine weight of ten tons, the D2-5AX is said to ensure minimal vibration and thermal growth stability in production environments. To ensure high accuracy and precision during production, the D2-5AX is built to achieve AC/DC values of 0.7 G. It has a range of spindle options, beginning with its standard 50 HP high-torque spindle of 12,000 rpm, up to 24,000 rpm 50 HP. Temperature sensors on the spindle and the machine bed measure and compensate for thermal factors.

The trunnion style machining center is also equipped with a 600-mm diameter round table, providing a working height of 950 mm. Up to five axes can be controlled simultaneously with adaptive feed rate control, overload control in the event of tool breakage and collision, as well as compensation for axis misalignment by means of a calibration sphere and measuring probe.

For production operations, the D2-5AX may also be customized with Hwacheon’s Automatic Work Piece Changer. Suitable for complex processes and mass production, the Automatic Work Piece Changer is available as an eight-pallet or 20-pallet option. The work setup station on the automatic workpiece changer is also separately configured from the machine operating area, allowing users to work while the machine is in motion. With Hwacheon’s software package, including a scheduling system, users can manage multiple projects at once.
