Universal Turning Centers
With Box Guide Ways and Gear Spindle

The HI-TECH series is characterized by its solid machine beds, wide flat guides, and powerful drives. It is ideal for tough, hard materials with high chip removal volumes and precision requirements.
The series covers chuck sizes from 200 to 800 mm and turning lengths up to 5 m. Workpiece weights of up to 4 tons can be machined.
Perfect for Difficult-to-Machine Materials!
When it comes to machining challenging materials, interrupted cuts, and high chip removal rates, the HI-TECH series is the ultimate solution. Known for its precision and exceptional surface quality, the HI-TECH series impresses with outstanding performance and reliability.
The Strengths of the Hi-TECH Series
- Extremely robust lathes with flat guides / box guides for heavy-duty machining. Flat guides are characterized by excellent damping properties, absorbing vibrations during the machining process and dissipating them into the machine bed.
- Gearbox spindles deliver high torque and are ideal for demanding machining processes. Optimal utilization of cutting speed is enabled by the correct gear ratio. Large bearings and shaft diameters ensure stable absorption of process forces and a long service life.
- Experience unmatched precision and durability with Hwacheon’s Meehanite-cast machine beds, which absorb vibrations, ensuring superior surface quality and extended tool life. Manufactured in our state-of-the-art foundry and supported by top-tier craftsmanship, our products guarantee exceptional performance that pays off for our customers.
