Vertical Machining Center
Dry Cuts Graphite
Hwacheon Machinery America Inc.'s Hi-M
G1 vertical machining center is specially de-
signed to cut graphite. Its quick and precise
performance makes it an ideal choice for
dry cutting graphite electrode material used
in die mold work, the company says. The
compact structure, with a design based on
3D/FEM analysis, and wide LM guides for
XYZ axes, ensures accuracy.
For high-speed operation, the 24,000-
rpm spindle is integrated with a high power
motor, and without any parts to transfer
power between the motor and spindle.
According to the company, this design
minimizes vibration, noise and power loss
during high-speed rotation. In addition, a
bearing grease lubrication system and syn-
chronous temperature control decreases
the influence of external temperature
variation and improves smoothness.
The VMC is engineered with a dust-
proof/waterproof spindle and a dust re-
duction system. It also includes a Siemens
828D controller that provides flexible, in-
teractive programming, as well as controls
that enable high productivity.
