Overview

8 / 10 in. linear-guide lathe, Ø380 x 680 mm turning capacity

The CUTEX-240 is the 8 / 10 inch model in Hwacheon's CUTEX Series, a slant-bed lathe on LM guides with a programmable hydraulic tailstock standard on all but the SMC version. Hwacheon's sample parts are automotive serration, input, output and cam shafts; MC versions add a 5,000 rpm turnmill and SMC versions a 6,000 rpm sub spindle to finish parts in one chucking. The 240A and 240B run 8 inch chucks at 5,000 rpm with Ø51 or Ø65 mm bar, and the 240C runs a 10 inch chuck at 3,500 rpm with Ø76 mm bar, all on an 18.5 / 15 kW motor. Max turning diameter is Ø380 mm and max turning length 680 mm.

Features

0145 degree Meehanite slant bedThe integrated 45 degree torque-rib bed is Meehanite cast iron, built to limit heat distortion and thermal displacement during high-speed machining.
02LM guides, 36 m/min rapidsX and Z run on LM guides at 36 m/min over a 215 x 700 mm stroke (215 x 665 mm on MC and SMC versions).
03Turret, 0.15 s index12 stations on the 240A and 240B and 10 on the 240C, indexing in 0.15 seconds per step with □25 mm shanks and Ø40 mm boring bars.
04Sub spindle (SMC)The SMC adds an A2-5 sub spindle with a 6 inch chuck, 6,000 rpm and 7.5 / 5.5 kW. Main and sub spindles run in sync for pick-up and back working in one chucking.
05Programmable tailstock standardOn non-SMC versions the MT#4 hydraulic tailstock body and quill are programmable, with a Ø80 mm quill and 120 mm quill stroke. A steady rest is optional except on the SMC.
06Tool load monitoring standardL-HTLD tracks tool load in real time: limit 1 holds the feed, limit 2 stops the machine. HLVC vibration control is also standard.
