This Hwacheon HI-TECH 300 is a used CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — dating from 2008 and currently located in Italy. CNC lathes are precision machine tools used to shape metal workpieces by rotating them against a cutting tool, producing turned, bored, threaded, and faced components across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general engineering. Hwacheon is a South Korean machine tool manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing high-precision lathes and machining centres for industrial metalworking applications.
The machine runs on a Fanuc 18i-TB control system, equipped with Manual Guide i, which provides conversational programming capability and simplifies the creation of machining cycles directly at the control panel. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 3,200 RPM and accepts bar stock up to 79 mm in diameter through the spindle bore. The spindle mount is ASA 8-inch, fitted with a 315 mm chuck.
In terms of work envelope, the lathe offers a swing over bed of 600 mm, a maximum turning diameter of 380 mm, and a maximum turning length of 1,200 mm. Axis travels are 280 mm on X and 1,270 mm on Z. The turret holds 12 tool positions, providing substantial tooling flexibility for complex or multi-operation components.
The machine is equipped with a Morari model SLZ-1517 steady rest, which supports workpieces with a bar diameter ranging from a minimum of 15 mm to a maximum of 170 mm — a useful accessory for turning long or slender shafts. A chip conveyor is also included, facilitating continuous chip removal during production. Complete documentation accompanies the machine.
