How much does the Hanwha XE26 II cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Hanwha Precision Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hanwha XE26 II handles stock up to 26 mm (1.02 in) with an 8,000 rpm main spindle listed at 2.2/5.5 kW. It is the larger-capacity partner of the XE20 II, which takes 20 mm (0.79 in) at 10,000 rpm with 2.2/3.7 kW, and the two share a 2,260 × 1,240 × 1,670 mm (89.0 × 48.8 × 65.7 in) footprint and a 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) weight.
On the XE26 II the main and sub spindles have the same 8,000 rpm ceiling, so pick-up never has to wait for the main spindle to slow to a speed the sub can match. The sub spindle motor is 1.5/2.2 kW.
Turning is done with 5 OD tools on □16 mm shanks, one position fewer than the XE20 II but on a heavier shank than its □12 mm. The remaining tooling is common to both: 5 front tools (ER16M, Ø25), 4 ER16 cross drill tools and 4 ER16 back tools. Live tools turn at up to 6,000 rpm with 1.0 kW, a modest figure for a 26 mm bar, so plan milled features as light finishing cuts.
Three things on a quotation need checking. First the type, since Z1 travel is 210 mm on the H and J types, 60 mm on the N and Ne types and 160 mm (H), 50 mm (N) on the NH type. Second the back tool block, offered as 2 fixed + 2 driven or as 4 fixed. Third the supply, listed at 15 kVA, 10 kW. The machine has 6 axes and runs the Hanwha Fanuc-i control.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 26 mm (1.02 in) capacity in the same 2,500 kg (5,512 lb), 2,260 × 1,240 × 1,670 mm (89.0 × 48.8 × 65.7 in) package as the XE20 II
- Main spindle listed at 2.2/5.5 kW, against 2.2/3.7 kW on the XE20 II
- Main and sub spindle both reach 8,000 rpm
- □16 mm OD tool shanks for a stiffer turning tool
- Z1 travel of 210 mm on the H and J types
Limitations
- 8,000 rpm top speed, 20% below the 10,000 rpm of the XE20 II
- Live tools are 1.0 kW at up to 6,000 rpm, light for 26 mm stock
- 5 OD tool positions, where the XE20 II has 6
- The 4-fixed back tool block has no driven tools; driven back-working needs the 2 fixed + 2 driven block
