The Hitachi HT-25DM is a CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — a machine tool used in metalworking to rotate a workpiece against a cutting tool in order to shape, face, bore, and thread cylindrical components with precision. Hitachi is a well-established Japanese industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing machine tools, heavy equipment, and electronics for engineering and manufacturing industries worldwide.
This example was built in Japan in 1990 and is offered in used condition, currently located in the Netherlands. It is equipped with a Fanuc 11-TTF control unit and features live tooling and a C-axis, meaning it can perform driven-tool operations such as milling, drilling, and tapping at off-centre positions without removing the workpiece from the machine — a significant capability that extends the range of parts that can be completed in a single setup.
The spindle accommodates a 255 mm chuck and turns at up to 3,600 rpm, with a spindle taper of A2-8. The maximum swing over the bed is 510 mm, indicating the largest workpiece diameter the machine can rotate clear of the bed. Bar capacity is 63 mm, meaning round stock up to that diameter can be fed through the spindle. The shaft length — the usable turning length — is 600 mm, and the tailstock quill provides a stroke of 100 mm to support longer workpieces during turning or to assist with drilling operations on the centreline. The machine is described as available immediately.
