XDI32

The Hanwha XDI32 is a 3-path, 9-axis sliding-headstock CNC lathe introduced in 2021. It is built around the Fanuc 31iB controller and accepts bar stock up to 32 mm in diameter. Unlike Hanwha's turret-based STL machines, the XDI32 uses an independent opposite-gang configuration: the main front tool stage and the sub rear tool stage each carry their own gang arrays and operate on completely separate axes, allowing the machine to cut on both ends of the workpiece simultaneously without the indexing delays associated with a turret. A standalone Z3/X3 back tool path handles a third cut concurrently. The main spindle and sub spindle are identical in rating — each 6,500 rpm and 2.2/5.5 kW — which makes the XDI32 well matched for long-cycle parts where the sub spindle does substantial secondary work rather than just parting-off and ejecting. The front tool stage carries seven 16 mm square turning tools (four on one bank, three on the other) and four ER16M driven cross drills at 6,000 rpm (2.2 kW). The back tool unit holds nine ER16 tools in a 6-driven/3-fixed arrangement (upgradable with a Y3 back-cross option) at 6,000 rpm and 1.0 kW. All three machining paths can run simultaneously, and Hanwha's "pre-position of the next tool" feature allows the machine to index the upcoming tool while the current cut is still running, reducing air-cut time between operations. Optional tooling extends the XDI32's reach considerably: a B-axis double-hinged cross unit (ER16 × 8, swivel range -40° to +100°) enables angular drilling and compound-angle features, a sub gun drill unit handles deep-hole work to 190 mm without a separate setup, and a Y3-axis back tool cross option adds cross-turning capability behind the part. AMT Machine Tools is the Canadian dealer for Hanwha and can advise on the XDI32 configuration best suited to your part mix across Ontario and the rest of Canada.

Ideal For

• Manufacturers where cycle time is the primary constraint and simultaneous 3-path cutting is the solution
• Part families with substantial sub-spindle work — not just part-off but meaningful turning and drilling at the back end
• Shops running deep-hole parts that currently require a separate gun drill operation
• Facilities with Fanuc 31iB programming expertise looking for a high-output Swiss platform up to 32 mm
• Ontario and Canadian precision shops seeking a full-service opposite-gang Swiss lathe with local AMT dealer support
