HWACHEON CUTEX-180B CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a mid-range 4-axis CNC turning center engineered for precision machining of complex components. The machine features a 27.56-inch swing over bed, accommodating workpieces up to 13.78 inches in turning diameter, with a maximum machining length of 11.87 inches, making it suitable for medium-sized shaft and cylindrical part production. The 8-inch chuck provides reliable workpiece holding for standard bar stock applications. Powered by a 20 horsepower spindle motor, the machine delivers robust cutting capabilities with spindle speeds reaching 4,500 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across various alloys and steels. The 4-axis configuration extends beyond standard 2-axis turning by incorporating additional axes—typically including a C-axis for secondary operations and positioning—allowing for off-center drilling, boring, and milling operations without workpiece repositioning. This multi-axis capability significantly reduces setup time and enhances production efficiency for complex geometries. The FANUC 0I-TF CNC control system provides industry-standard programming compatibility and intuitive operator interface, ensuring smooth integration into existing manufacturing environments. This control platform supports advanced interpolation and tool path optimization, delivering consistent precision and repeatability across production runs. The machine combines adequate spindle power with versatile axis configuration, making it well-suited for job shop environments, prototyping, and mid-volume production of intricate turned parts. Its specifications balance capability with operational efficiency, offering manufacturers a practical solution for parts requiring multi-plane machining without investing in larger, more complex turning centers.
