HMT STALLION 200 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The CNC lathe features a 9.84-inch chuck size, which defines the dimensions of the lathe chuck and determines the maximum bar stock capacity the machine can accommodate. With a turning diameter of 9.84 inches, this specification indicates the maximum radial distance a lathe tool can cut perpendicular to the spindle axis, enabling precise machining of workpieces within this diameter range. The 18.11-inch swing measurement represents the largest diameter a workpiece can have while rotating over the bed, a critical parameter manufacturers use to classify lathe sizes and determine versatility for handling broader workpieces. This CNC-controlled machine operates through Computer Numerical Control technology, enabling automated precision turning and manufacturing with programmable tool paths and repeatable accuracy. The fixed cutting tool remains positioned at the turret while the material spins around the central spindle, allowing for efficient rotational turning operations. The machine's configuration supports standard turning capabilities, with axis control governing tool movement and workpiece manipulation for optimal cutting performance. Key operational characteristics include rapid axis traverse for efficient tool positioning and precise feed rates that determine operational accuracy during machining. The combination of chuck size, turning diameter, and swing specifications establishes the machine's capacity envelope, allowing manufacturers to produce parts within these dimensional constraints. The CNC control system ensures consistent repeatability and positioning accuracy across multiple production cycles, making this lathe suitable for precision manufacturing applications requiring reliable part tolerance maintenance and automated operation efficiency.
