Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Hanwha. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hanwha XE16 II is a compact Swiss-type lathe for bar up to 16 mm (0.630 in), listed with a main spindle that runs up to 15,000 rpm, a back spindle up to 10,000 rpm and up to 18 tool positions. Maximum machining length is 150 mm (5.91 in).
Spindle speed is the figure that defines it. Small-diameter stock needs high rpm to reach a sensible surface speed, and 15,000 rpm on a 16 mm (0.630 in) machine addresses that directly. For comparison the XE20 II, a 20 mm (0.79 in) machine, is listed at 10,000 rpm. Power on the XE16 II is in proportion to the bar: 2.2 kW (3.0 hp) on the main spindle and 1.5 kW (2.0 hp) on the back spindle.
The listed figures describe 7-axis simultaneous control, a precision Swiss-type guide bushing, and driven tools on both the front and back sides running up to 6,000 rpm. With a back spindle and back driven tools, the cut-off end can be drilled or milled before the part drops. The control is a Fanuc 32i.
Size is approximate in the table: about 1,700 x 1,100 x 1,650 mm and about 1,700 kg (3,748 lbs). The table does not split the 18 tool positions into turning, front, cross and back groups, and gives no stroke or driven-tool power figures. Confirm those, along with the figures above, against the documentation for the specific machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main spindle listed at up to 15,000 rpm for small-diameter stock
- Back spindle at up to 10,000 rpm with 1.5 kW (2.0 hp)
- Driven tools on both front and back sides, up to 6,000 rpm
- Up to 18 tool positions with 7-axis simultaneous control
- Small and light: approx. 1,700 x 1,100 x 1,650 mm and approx. 1,700 kg (3,748 lbs)
Limitations
- Bar capacity is 16 mm (0.630 in) and machining length 150 mm (5.91 in)
- Main spindle power is 2.2 kW (3.0 hp), which suits free-cutting materials and light cuts, not heavy stock removal
- The 18 tool positions are not broken down and no stroke or driven-tool power is listed, so tooling for a given part cannot be judged from the table alone

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum bar capacity and maximum machining diameter are both 16 mm (0.630 in). Maximum machining length is 150 mm (5.91 in). A precision Swiss-type guide bushing is listed.
02
The main spindle is listed at up to 15,000 rpm with 2.2 kW (3.0 hp). The back spindle is listed at up to 10,000 rpm with 1.5 kW (2.0 hp). Driven tools run up to 6,000 rpm.
03
Yes. The listed figures show driven tools on both the front and the back, running up to 6,000 rpm, within a total of up to 18 tool positions. The table does not say how many of those positions are driven, or their power.
04
The table gives approximate figures: machine dimensions of about 1,700 x 1,100 x 1,650 mm and a weight of about 1,700 kg (3,748 lbs). Allow extra length for a bar feeder.
