HWACHEON VT-550R CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations with a FANUC 0i-TF control system. The machine features a maximum swing of 32.28 inches over the bed, enabling the machining of workpieces up to 25.59 inches in turning diameter. The 15-inch chuck provides secure workpiece holding for various part geometries, while the 27.56-inch maximum machining length accommodates extended shaft and pipe work. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM, the lathe delivers controlled cutting performance suitable for both roughing and finishing operations across diverse materials. The 2-axis configuration provides X and Z-axis movement, with the tool positioned at a fixed station turret, allowing standard turning, facing, and boring operations. The FANUC 0i-TF control system ensures reliable CNC functionality with repeatable accuracy and straightforward programming for production runs. This machine classification positions it as a mid-range turning center, versatile enough for small to medium-sized component manufacturing while maintaining precision standards. Key specifications including the swing diameter and bed length establish this lathe's capacity for handling a broad range of workpiece sizes typical in job shop and production environments. The combination of adequate spindle power with the specified speed range enables efficient material removal rates and superior surface finishes. This configuration makes the machine suitable for applications requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable performance in manufacturing operations.
