Uncompromising Stability & Accuracy

Built for high-precision machining, the L1 features a rigid double-column structure that ensures maximum stability and accuracy, even in demanding applications.

  • A low centre of gravity design minimises vibration for exceptional machining quality.
  • Five-block support on the X-axis and table optimises load distribution for enhanced precision.
  • A Z-axis reinforced with three highly rigid blocks provides a superior spindle-to-Y-axis connection.
  • German-engineered roller-type linear guideways on all axes ensure outstanding durability.
  • Linear scale feedback on X/Y/Z axes (standard) offers precision monitoring.
  • Pre-tensioned, high-quality ball screws ensure smooth and accurate movement in all axes.

Engineered for High Performance & Productivity

The L1 is designed for efficiency and high-output machining, delivering superior performance across industries.

  • High-rigidity roller guideways provide smooth, precise movement in all axes.
  • Dual side chip augers and a rear discharge conveyor enable fast and efficient chip removal.
  • Innovative chip isolation covers prevent heat transfer and vibration interference.
  • An extra-wide, extended working table accommodates multiple or extra-long workpieces.
  • The Hwacheon Software Suite enhances machine performance, optimising speed, accuracy, and reliability.

High-Performance Spindle for Maximum Cutting Power

The L1 spindle, designed and manufactured by Hwacheon, is built for speed, precision, and longevity.

  • A Direct Drive System reduces vibration and increases spindle efficiency.
  • 12,000 RPM, 18.5 kW power, and up to 120 Nm torque deliver powerful cutting capabilities.
  • An optional lubrication system (grease or air-oil) tailors to specific applications.
  • BT40 or HSK-A63 spindle options meet diverse machining needs.
  • The Coolant Through Spindle (CTS) system (optional) optimises cooling during deep-hole drilling.
  • An advanced oil cooling system with a high-efficiency chiller ensures stable spindle temperatures, reducing thermal expansion and increasing lifespan.

Optimised for Light-Duty, High-Speed Machining

Perfectly suited for high-speed roughing and finishing, the L1 excels in aluminium machining, delivering fast, precise, and cost-effective results.

Designed for Maximum Operator Convenience

The L1 prioritises operator efficiency, safety, and ease of use with a user-centric design.

  • A full enclosure design prevents chips and coolant splash, ensuring a clean working environment.
  • A wide door opening enables effortless loading and unloading of large workpieces.
  • An ergonomic design ensures comfortable and efficient operator access.
  • A straight-shape coolant tank and chip conveyor system simplify maintenance and cleaning.
  • An optimised table height (700 mm from floor level) allows direct access, eliminating the need for step platforms.
