XD38II-R

The Hanwha XD38II-R is the heavy-duty cutting variant in the Hanwha 38mm Swiss-type lathe family, introduced in 2019 and optimised specifically for demanding materials and complex milling operations. Its defining characteristic is an extended stroke envelope: Z1 stroke in guide-bush mode grows from 205mm (on the XD38II) to 320mm, and non-guide-bush Z1 grows from 80mm to 120mm. The cross and back axes also carry extended travel -- Y1, Z2, X2, and Y2 all gain additional stroke -- resulting in a larger overall machining envelope that can accommodate bigger tool assemblies and longer finished workpieces. The back tool unit is designed around large-material requirements. Tool spacing is set at 52mm between positions, wider than the standard layout, reducing interference when large-diameter tooling is in use. Eight back tool positions (ER16, 4 fixed + 4 driven) are standard, and a back tool cross unit (modular) is available as an option for secondary milling operations on the sub spindle side. The cross-drill unit runs on a 2.2 kW Fanuc or 2.13 kW Siemens motor -- described by Hanwha as best-in-class output for this machine class -- with five tools (ER20 x 2, ER16 x 3) in a gear-driven modular arrangement for fast, secure tool changes. Controller options are Fanuc 32i-B or Siemens 828D. The machine ships in NH (convertible guide bush / non-guide bush) configuration, allowing operators to switch modes without major re-setup. Chuck and guide bush specifications use TF48 collet chucks on main and sub spindles and a BRA42 guide bush -- the same proven configuration found on the XD38III -- making the XD38II-R directly comparable in clamping performance. AMT supplies and supports the XD38II-R for Canadian manufacturers.

Ideal For

• Shops running challenging materials where a higher-power cross-drill motor matters
• Productions requiring longer parts or larger tool clearances than a standard XD38II provides
• Job shops standardised on Siemens 828D seeking a heavy-duty 38mm Swiss option
• Operations that need both guide-bush and non-guide-bush flexibility with easy switching
• Canadian precision machining operations supported by AMT with Hanwha application expertise
