Hwacheon Hi-TECH 450 CNC Lathe: Precision and Performance for Australian Manufacturers

In modern metal fabrication, precision, power, and efficiency are critical. The Hwacheon Hi-TECH 450 CNC Lathe from Applied Machinery combines these qualities, offering Australian manufacturers a versatile solution for a wide range of applications, from hydraulic valves to long shafts. With a compact footprint, high rigidity, and flexible configurations, the Hi-TECH 450 is designed to maximize productivity while minimizing workshop space.



Compact Design, Maximum Capability

One of the standout features of the Hwacheon Hi-TECH 450 is its space-efficient design. Despite its compact footprint, it offers one of the largest turning diameters and turning lengths among mid-size CNC lathes. This combination of size efficiency and capability makes it ideal for workshops where floor space is at a premium, without compromising on production capacity.

Flexible Configuration for Diverse Applications

The Hi-TECH 450 can be configured to meet specific production requirements. Optional features, such as Y-axis capabilities, allow for multi-directional machining and enhanced flexibility. Whether you are producing connectors, flanges, hydraulic valves, or long shafts, this lathe can be tailored to your manufacturing needs. Additional options, including sub-spindle and turn-mill functions, further expand its versatility for complex machining operations.

High Power and Precision

The Hwacheon Hi-TECH 450 is engineered for high rigidity and precision, featuring a 45° slant bed that enhances stability during heavy-duty cutting. The spindle is available with 22 kW / 18.5 kW standard power, with an optional 26 kW spindle for high-performance applications. This robust spindle power ensures smooth cutting, even for larger components, while maintaining superior surface finish and tight tolerances.

Key Performance Highlights:

  • Turret Indexing Time (1 face): 0.25 seconds

  • Rapid Feed (X/Z): 20/24 m/min

  • Maximum Spindle Speed: 3,500 / 2,500 / 1,800 rpm

  • Swing Over Bed: Ø700 mm

  • Max Cutting Diameter: Ø500 mm

  • Max Cutting Length: 760 mm

Optimized Tooling and Automation

The Hi-TECH 450 offers excellent tooling capacity and automation features. It comes with tool storage options of 12, 12, or 10 tools depending on the configuration, allowing for extended production runs without manual tool changes. High-speed turret indexing ensures minimal downtime between operations, while optional turn-mill and sub-spindle functions enable complex multi-operation machining in a single setup.

Additionally, the lathe supports a range of chuck sizes (10–15 inch) and bar capacities (Ø76 / 89 / 116 mm), making it adaptable to various workpieces and production demands. These features make the Hi-TECH 450 ideal for precision engineering tasks and high-volume manufacturing alike.

Why Australian Manufacturers Choose Hwacheon Hi-TECH 450
