HWACHEON HI-TECH 550AXL CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty CNC lathe machine engineered for large-scale industrial turning operations. The machine features a substantial swing diameter of 31.5 inches, enabling the machining of large workpieces up to 23.2 inches in turning diameter. With an extended machining length of 126 inches, this lathe accommodates lengthy components, making it suitable for extended shaft work and large cylindrical parts commonly found in aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing applications. The 15-inch chuck provides robust workpiece clamping for secure holding during high-speed operations. Powered by a 40.2 horsepower spindle motor, the lathe delivers sufficient torque for aggressive cutting of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM is optimized for heavy-duty roughing and finishing operations on larger diameter workpieces, where lower speeds are typically required to maintain tool life and surface finish quality. The machine utilizes a FANUC 0I-TF CNC control system, a industry-standard platform renowned for reliability, precision, and user-friendly programming. This controller enables complex multi-axis machining sequences, tool compensation, and adaptive control features for enhanced productivity. The combination of substantial swing capacity, extended bed length, and powerful spindle makes this machine ideal for producing large rotational components with tight tolerances. The FANUC control ensures repeatability and consistency across production runs, making it well-suited for both prototype development and high-volume manufacturing environments requiring precision and reliability.
