HANKOOK KMIII-59/16000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The HANKOOK KMIII-59/16000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for large-scale precision machining operations. This machine features a 59-inch swing over bed with an impressive 629.9-inch distance between centers, enabling extended workpiece lengths up to approximately 16,000mm. The lathe accommodates large diameter workpieces ranging from 1,100 to 2,000mm in swing diameter. Equipped with a powerful 40 HP spindle motor, the KMIII-59/16000 delivers reliable rigidity and consistent performance for machining extra-large parts. The spindle operates at speeds ranging from 6 to 375 RPM with a 4.13-inch spindle bore, ideal for heavy cutting operations requiring controlled feed rates. The machine boasts a 12-ton load capacity between centers, expandable to 18 tons with dual steady rests installed. The lathe features a robust one-piece ground bed with 1,150mm wide guide ways and a spindle nose compatible with A2-15 taper standards. Standard equipment includes a 39.37-inch 4-jaw manual chuck, 4-position tool post, steady rests, and roller rest for versatile workholding. Two-axis digital readout scales on X and Z axes provide precision control. Built-in automatic forced lubrication and hand-scraped guide ways ensure sustained accuracy and machine longevity. This configuration makes the KMIII-59/16000 an excellent choice for contract shops and manufacturers requiring capability for large, heavy-duty turning operations with dimensional consistency.
