HWACHEON HI-TECH 550BB CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC turning center designed for large-diameter workpiece machining. The machine features a 31.5-inch swing diameter and 33.07-inch machining length, enabling processing of substantial cylindrical components. The spindle delivers 49.6 horsepower with a maximum rotational speed of 1,500 RPM, providing substantial torque for heavy-duty cutting operations on large-diameter parts. The 35.43-inch turning diameter accommodates significant workpiece sizes, making this system suitable for automotive, industrial, and manufacturing applications requiring precision metal removal. The dual-axis configuration (X and Z axes) controls diameter reduction and axial movement respectively, enabling standard turning operations including facing, threading, boring, and drilling. The FANUC 0I-TF CNC control system ensures precise dimensional accuracy with repeatable tolerances, typically achieving ±0.0001 inches or better. The relatively modest 1,500 RPM maximum speed prioritizes torque generation and surface finish quality for large-diameter precision work over high-speed spindle operation. Tool turret automation allows rapid tool selection and positioning without manual intervention, improving production efficiency. The machine's rigid construction minimizes vibration and variation during machining, maintaining dimensional consistency across production runs. This system represents an entry to mid-level CNC turning solution optimized for heavy workpieces requiring moderate to high precision finishing in industrial manufacturing environments.
