Lead Machine Tools recently installed one of Hwacheon's top class Cutex 160A Horizontal Turning Centers at SuperXcel in Cape Town.

Thanks to the turret’s short indexing time of just 0.15 seconds and the high rapid traverse speed of 36 m/min, non-productive time is significantly reduced. The power chuck guarantees excellent performance in precision turning and high productivity for large batch sizes.

Standard equipment

Due to the high technological standard of Hwacheon’s CUTEX-160, the machine quickly became the industry standard for small turning centres following its arrival on the market. Thanks to its compact and solid construction and its large range of options, the CUTEX-160 is the ideal solution for many fields of application. With the L-HTLD software (Hwacheon Lathe Tool Load Detection System), which monitors power consumption and immediately prevents overload, you will be able to effectively protect your machines and tools from being damaged.

Ergonomic design and extensive optional features

The user-friendly design of the CUTEX-160 is comfortable to work with, meaning that you can concentrate on what matters: producing high quality products whilst not wasting any time with laborious handling, and doing so under conditions of maximum workplace safety. The large number of optional features allows you to configure your machine according to your requirements in terms of performance and precision.
