HYUNDAI WIA L280 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a CNC-controlled lathe designed for precision turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a 10-inch chuck capacity, accommodating workpieces up to 10 inches in diameter, with a maximum bar stock capacity of 3 inches. The 23.2-inch swing diameter allows for substantial part sizes, while the 28.3-inch machining length provides extended axial work envelope for complex turning profiles. The two-axis CNC system (X and Z axes) enables synchronized spindle rotation and tool positioning for accurate diameter control and axial feeding. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 3,000 RPM, this machine prioritizes torque and rigidity for heavy-duty production runs rather than high-speed finishing. The 29.5 hp motor delivers substantial cutting force necessary for demanding materials and aggressive feeds. The CNC control system automates tool indexing, feed rates, and spindle speed, ensuring consistent part geometry and reducing operator intervention. This configuration is typical of production lathes used in manufacturing environments where repeatability and throughput are critical. The machine's specifications indicate suitability for mid-to-large diameter workpiece production, including steel, cast iron, and similar materials requiring significant material removal rates. The combination of moderate RPM, high horsepower, substantial swing, and extended machining length positions this lathe as a heavy-duty turning center optimized for production efficiency in industrial settings. The CNC integration enables complex turning cycles, taper threading, and contoured profiling while maintaining dimensional accuracy across multiple identical parts.
