DAEWOO PUMA 8HC-3A CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 3-axis CNC lathe represents a mid-range production machine designed for versatile turning and complex operations on cylindrical workpieces. The 8-inch chuck accommodates bar stock up to 2 inches in diameter, while the 14.8-inch maximum turning diameter and 20.7-inch machining length enable production of medium-sized components with rotational symmetry. The spindle delivers 25 HP at speeds up to 4,000 RPM, providing sufficient power and torque for aggressive cutting of castings, forgings, and steel parts. Rapid traverse rates of 472 IPM on the X-axis and 630 IPM on the Z-axis ensure efficient cycle times, while the generous 8.3-inch radial and 21.65-inch longitudinal axis travels accommodate diverse part geometries. The integrated 5 HP live tool motor operating at 3,000 RPM enables advanced operations including drilling, milling, and threading without workpiece repositioning. Equipped with Fanuc 16T CNC control, the machine combines computer numerical control precision with consistent repeatability, achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. The A2-6 spindle nose and 2.4-inch spindle bore accommodate standard tooling, while the MT#4 tailstock taper supports steady rests for extended workpieces. At 9,900 pounds, this robust construction provides rigid support for precision turning operations, making it suitable for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring flexible multi-axis turning capabilities with excellent accuracy and surface finish consistency.
