HANKOOK HPL-900/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The HANKOOK HPL-900/3000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations on large workpieces. With a swing capacity of 35.4 inches and centers measuring 118.9 inches, this machine accommodates substantial components requiring extended spindle-to-spindle distances. The 3.3-inch spindle bore provides adequate clearance for mounting various tooling configurations and workholding devices. Powered by a robust 20.0 HP motor, the lathe delivers consistent cutting force across its operational range, while the 1,120 RPM spindle speed enables controlled material removal for both roughing and finishing passes. The machine features a one-piece cast bed construction that provides structural rigidity and vibration damping during extended machining cycles. Hardened and ground ways, combined with a shear bed design and supporting apron structure, ensure precise tool positioning and repeatability. The alloy steel spindle withstands sustained cutting loads inherent to production work. Manual operation allows skilled operators to adapt quickly to varying workpiece geometries and material properties. This configuration makes the HPL-900/3000 suitable for job shop applications, contract manufacturing, and production runs requiring flexibility and reliability. The lathe's specifications position it for machining cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous materials where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. Its substantial footprint and power delivery make it ideal for facilities requiring a workhorse machine capable of handling diverse turning tasks from prototype development to high-volume production.
