HWACHEON CUTEX-240B SMC CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact 3-axis CNC turning center designed for precision machining of medium-sized workpieces. The machine features an 8-inch chuck with a maximum bar capacity of 2.559 inches, accommodating various stock materials for high-volume production runs. With a swing diameter of 22.84 inches and machining length of 21.91 inches, it provides adequate working envelope for complex turned components. The spindle delivers 18.6 kW of power at speeds up to 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across diverse applications from aerospace to automotive sectors. The turning diameter capacity of 13.98 inches allows for mid-range part production with tight tolerances typical of CNC systems, which can achieve accuracies up to ±0.0001 inches. The 3-axis configuration provides fundamental machining capabilities including facing, threading, drilling, and boring operations. Computer numerical control ensures repeatable precision and minimizes operator-dependent variation, with repeatability exceeding ±0.002 mm. This machine class is ideal for job shops and contract manufacturers requiring versatile turning capabilities without the complexity and cost of multi-axis or live-tool equipped systems. Its balanced specifications make it suitable for small to medium production volumes where cycle time efficiency and part quality are critical performance metrics.
