HYUNDAI KIA SKT-300-MS CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a robust 12-inch chuck and a maximum swing over bed of 29.5 inches, enabling the machining of parts up to 26.8 inches in length and 3.5 inches bar capacity. Powered by a 30-horsepower spindle motor, it delivers a maximum spindle speed of 3,000 RPM with an A2-8 spindle nose, supporting turning diameters up to 19.7 inches. Equipped with a sub spindle capable of 4,000 RPM, the machine allows simultaneous dual-sided machining for enhanced productivity. The Fanuc 18iT CNC control system manages 5 axes, including C-axis functionality, with rapid feed rates of 945 inches-per-minute on the Z axis and 787 inches-per-minute on the X axis. Live tooling is supported, driven by a 7-horsepower milling motor, enabling complex milling, drilling, and tapping operations without part removal. The machine weighs 14,300 lbs, reflecting a sturdy construction for stable, high-precision machining. The inclusion of 5-axis control with live tooling and a sub spindle makes it suitable for complex multi-operation parts production, improving efficiency and reducing setups. This lathe’s combination of power, precision, and flexible tooling capability makes it well-suited for automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications requiring high throughput and accuracy. The Fanuc 18iT control is notable for its advanced interpolation, multiple axis control, and ease of integration with modern manufacturing environments.
