This KIA Super Turn 15LM is a used CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — dating from 2002 and currently located in the Netherlands. Lathes of this type are used to machine cylindrical workpieces by rotating the material against a cutting tool, making them a fundamental tool in metalworking, manufacturing, automotive component production, and aerospace part fabrication. KIA, trading as KIA Machinery and part of KIA Heavy Industries, is a South Korean manufacturer with an established reputation for CNC lathes, machining centres, and precision machine tools serving industrial sectors worldwide.
The machine is controlled by a Fanuc Series 18-T CNC unit, a well-regarded control platform known for reliability and straightforward programming in a production environment. It operates across three CNC axes and is equipped with an RS-232 port for data transfer. Rapid traverse is rated at 30 metres per minute.
The spindle runs to a maximum of 5,000 rpm and is driven by a motor rated at 11.2 kW, providing the power needed for a broad range of turning operations. The spindle nose is an A2-5 taper. Swing over the bed is 550 mm, turning diameter is 250 mm, and the maximum turning length is 530 mm. Bar capacity through the spindle is 38 mm. The turret is a VDI 40 format unit with 16 stations, allowing a substantial number of tools to be loaded simultaneously and minimising changeover time during complex operations.
The machine is available for immediate delivery and ships with a comprehensive documentation package including programming, operation, electrical diagram, part list, and technical manuals, as well as a CE mark. Prospective buyers should note that the seller reports noisy spindle line bearings that will require replacement, and this condition should be factored into any assessment of the machine.
