HYUNDAI WIA E160LMA CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a robust 6-inch chuck designed for secure workpiece holding across a wide range of diameters, with a maximum bar capacity of 1.77 inches accommodating various stock materials. The machine operates on a 2-axis control system, providing precise X and Z axis movement for turning, facing, and threading operations. Powered by a substantial 14.75 horsepower motor, the machine delivers consistent cutting force across diverse machining tasks. With a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM, it balances productivity with precision for both roughing and finishing operations on materials ranging from aluminum to steel. The swing diameter of 18.9 inches defines the maximum workpiece diameter that can be machined, while the 17.7-inch machining length accommodates extended components. The CNC control system automates tool positioning and feed rates, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring repeatable accuracy across production runs. This configuration makes the lathe particularly suitable for job shops and small-to-medium manufacturing operations requiring versatile turning capabilities. The 2-axis control simplifies programming compared to multi-axis machines while maintaining sufficient sophistication for complex turned parts. The combination of adequate horsepower, reasonable spindle speed, and practical working envelope positions this machine as an efficient solution for precision turning work, tool making, and prototype development where reliability and ease of operation are prioritized alongside dimensional accuracy.
