2019 Hanwha STL38H 9 Axis CNC Swiss Lathe

The machine is built for agile, multi-axis work with a 38mm maximum turned diameter and generous travels: X1 2.36-inch, X2 4.53-inch VDI or 4.13-inch BMT, Y 11.65-inch, Z1 12.60-inch, and Z2 4.72-inch. Main and sub spindles run to 6500 RPM, each driven by 23 kW motors delivering 30.85 hp, while the cross slide reaches 6000 RPM with 1.44 hp—ideal for milling and drilling ops in cycle. A 16 by 16 mm tool shank window equals 0.63 x 0.63-inch, and the package supports up to 47 tools for complex parts.

Compared to simpler fixed-head lathes with single spindle and limited live tooling, this platform’s dual 6500 RPM spindles, full Y travel, and high tool count reduce setups and enable true done-in-one capability. The compact 110.24-inch by 72.83-inch by 70.47-inch footprint and 300 liter coolant capacity keep throughput high without overwhelming floor space or utilities.
