HANKOOK PROTEC-9E/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The HANKOOK PROTEC-9E/3000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision shaft turning and large-scale workpiece machining. Featuring a robust swing capacity of 37.4 inches over the bed, this machine accommodates substantial cylindrical components with ease. The extended 118.9-inch distance between centers enables extended shaft turning operations, supporting the machine's capacity for projects requiring significant longitudinal work. The spindle bore of 3.3 inches provides versatile mounting flexibility for various chuck configurations and workholding solutions. Powered by a 20 HP motor operating at 1,120 RPM, the PROTEC-9E/3000 delivers reliable torque and speed for diverse turning applications. The machine incorporates an extra-wide one-piece cast iron bed with thick ribbing to prevent twisting and deformation, ensuring exceptional stability during heavy and interrupted cutting operations. Precision-ground induction-hardened guide ways and high-precision ball screws on both axes provide superior accuracy and repeatability, critical for demanding industrial applications. The manual control design allows operators accustomed to traditional lathes to transition seamlessly, with intuitive hand wheels for simultaneous two-axis control and portable manual pulse generators (MPG) for refined positioning. Built-in automatic lubrication systems maintain critical areas, reducing maintenance overhead and extending machine longevity. The PROTEC-9E/3000 supports a 5,000 kg load capacity between centers, making it suitable for heavy-duty oil field, industrial, and general manufacturing work requiring reliable, consistent performance in challenging turning environments.
