2012 Hankook Protec-9NC Hollow Spindle CNC Lathe

The 2012 Hankook Protec-9NC Hollow Spindle CNC Lathe is engineered for large-diameter and long-part turning with exceptional rigidity and accuracy. Featuring a massive 37.4-inch swing over bed and 157.48-inch distance between centers, this machine handles workpieces up to 11,000 pounds. Its 9.875-inch spindle bore supports large-diameter bar or pipe work, while the 35-horsepower motor provides high torque across two spindle speed ranges—205 RPM in low and 630 RPM in high. The Fanuc 21i-TB CNC control with remote MPG handle ensures precise, smooth operation for complex turning cycles.

Compared to standard mid-range CNC lathes, the Protec-9NC stands apart with its dual 24.5-inch Bison Set-Tru chucks, multiple steady rests, and heavy 24.75-inch bed width for stable support under load. The inclusion of a Dupomatic 8-station turret, live and dead quill tailstock, and chip conveyor makes it a complete, production-ready system for oilfield, aerospace, and heavy industrial applications.
