XD38III Features
Standard features that set this machine apart in demanding manufacturing environments.
Precision & Performance
- 40% reduction in head-1 thermal displacement and 55% reduction in head-2 thermal displacement versus the prior generation, for tighter tolerances over long runs
- ER20 modular cross-drill unit upgraded with larger bearings, improving surface roughness by 34%
- Optimised X2 ball screw combined with Hanwha ITS (Innovative Thermal Solution) for sustained thermal stability
Ease of Operation
- Front tool post 15 mm thicker than the previous version, reducing deformation by 38% under cutting loads
- Choice of Fanuc 0i-TF Plus or Siemens 828D control caters to shops with either platform as their standard
Built-In Extras
- Back tool post (Y2) redesigned for heavy-duty work, with deformation reduced by 70% compared to the earlier model

XD38III Questions
Answers to common questions about the XD38III.
The XD38III is the third-generation redesign of Hanwha's 38mm Swiss platform and addresses thermal stability and structural rigidity directly. It reduces head-1 thermal displacement by 40% and head-2 thermal displacement by 55%, thickens the front tool post by 15mm to cut deformation by 38%, and rebuilds the back tool post to reduce its deformation by 70%. These changes translate to better dimensional consistency over long, unattended production runs.
Yes. The XD38III is available with either Fanuc 0i-TF Plus or Siemens 828D, making it one of the few machines in the Hanwha Swiss range to offer both controller platforms. The Siemens version uses a 23 kW spindle motor and a slightly larger machine footprint.
The XD38III uses a gear-modular cross-drill unit with six tools (four ER16 plus two ER20) at 6,000 rpm, and a back-tool unit carrying five tools as standard (three fixed, two driven) plus cross and turning positions. The modular layout keeps tool changes and maintenance straightforward.
