Hanwha XD26II vs Hanwha XD38II
Hanwha Precision Machinery vs Hanwha · Swiss-Type Lathes
Summary
The Hanwha XD26II and the Hanwha XD38II are Swiss-type lathes one size step apart. The XD38II turns up to 38 mm (1.50 in) in diameter against 26 mm (1.02 in), and weighs 3,600 kg (7,937 lb) against 2,700 kg (5,952 lb).
The XD26II is the faster machine, with main and sub-spindles at 8,000 rpm against 6,500 rpm; live tools run to 6,000 rpm on both. Spindle power depends on the control: the XD26II lists 2.2/5.5 kW with Fanuc and 14.4 kW with Siemens, the XD38II 5.5/7.5 kW. The XD26II also has the smaller footprint, 2,260 × 1,230 × 1,710 mm against 2,570 × 1,440 × 1,740 mm.

Advantages
Hanwha XD26II
- 8,000 rpm main and sub-spindles against 6,500 rpm
- Smaller footprint: 2,260 × 1,230 × 1,710 mm against 2,570 × 1,440 × 1,740 mm
- Lighter machine at 2,700 kg (5,952 lb) against 3,600 kg (7,937 lb)
- Siemens 828D control offered alongside Fanuc 32i-B
Hanwha XD38II
- 38 mm (1.50 in) maximum turning diameter against 26 mm (1.02 in)
- 5.5/7.5 kW main spindle against 2.2/5.5 kW on the Fanuc version of the XD26II
- Suited to larger orthopedic, valve stem and sensor housing parts
Verdict
Choose the Hanwha XD26II for small medical screws, dental implants, watch parts and connector pins up to 26 mm (1.02 in), where its 8,000 rpm spindles and smaller footprint fit high-volume precision work. Choose the Hanwha XD38II when parts run up to 38 mm (1.50 in) in diameter, such as larger implants, valve stems and sensor housings, and a 5.5/7.5 kW spindle is needed for the bigger cuts.
