2017 Hwacheon Cutex 160A CNC Lathe

The 2017 Hwacheon Cutex-160A blends a 21.65-inch swing and 11.81-inch cut length with a 6000-RPM A2-5 spindle that channels 20-horsepower peak torque through a rigid box-way bed, letting one-point-seven-seven-inch bar run lights-out under Fanuc 0i-TF Plus guidance. Rapid axes drive at 1417-IPM X and 1319-IPM Z so non-cut time vanishes; the twelve-station turret locks in 0.15 s and accepts live-tool modules for simple cross-milling. Through-spindle 2.20-inch bore feeds a chip conveyor, mist collector and auto lube system that protect uptime, while a programmable MT4 tailstock steadies shaft work.

Versus the earlier Cutex-160 (4500 RPM spindle, 15-horsepower peak, 945 IPM rapids), the 160A steps up to 6000 RPM, twenty-horsepower vector, 1417-IPM dashes and Fanuc 0i-TF Plus—all on the same 93.43-inch by 59.84-inch footprint—so legacy fixtures bolt straight on yet cycles finish up to thirty-five percent faster.
