Hwacheon CUTEX-160
Standard horizontal turning center
CUTEX Series
6 / 8 in. linear-guide lathe, Ø300 x 300 mm turning capacity
The CUTEX-160 is the smallest model in Hwacheon's CUTEX Series, a 45 degree slant-bed lathe on LM guides for 6 or 8 inch chucks. Hwacheon positions it for mass production of parts like shafts, spline hubs and valve bodies, with a 0.15 second turret index and 36 m/min rapids to cut the time between cuts. The 160A runs a 6 inch chuck to 6,000 rpm with Ø45 mm bar capacity; the 160B takes an 8 inch chuck, 4,500 rpm and Ø51 mm bar, and MC versions add a 5,000 rpm turnmill with a C axis. Max turning diameter is Ø300 mm and max turning length 300 mm, on a 15 / 7.5 kW spindle motor.
