HANKOOK KMIII-59/4000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The HANKOOK KMIII-59/4000 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision machining of large shaft and flange-type workpieces. With a swing diameter of 59.0 inches and center distance of 156.7 inches, this machine accommodates substantial components up to approximately 8,000 kg in weight and flanged workpieces up to 1,500 mm in diameter. The spindle bore measures 4.13 inches, providing adequate clearance for through-spindle operations. Powered by a 40.0 HP motor operating at 375 RPM, the lathe delivers consistent torque suitable for heavy roughing and finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The machine achieves dimensional accuracy within IT7 tolerance grades and produces surface finishes up to 3.2μm, meeting stringent precision requirements. Equipped with dual-shaft sliding mechanisms, the KMIII-59/4000 enables versatile feed and traverse turning capabilities for both cylindrical and contoured workpieces. The manual control system allows skilled operators to optimize cutting parameters for specific applications. This universal centre lathe configuration makes it ideal for job shops, contract manufacturers, and heavy equipment producers requiring reliable performance on large-scale turning operations. The robust construction and moderate spindle speed prioritize stability and tool life during extended production runs, particularly for materials requiring careful thermal management during machining.
