How much does the Hanwha XQ38 II cost?
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 XQ38 II is a Swiss-type lathe for bar up to 38 mm (1.496 in), listed with 9-axis simultaneous control, up to 32 tool positions and an 11 kW (14.7 hp) main spindle. Maximum machining length is 220 mm (8.66 in).
Power is what stands out in the listed figures. The main spindle's 11 kW (14.7 hp) compares with a 5.5/7.5 kW main motor on the XD38II, which takes the same 38 mm bar. The back spindle is listed at 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). Both spindles run up to 6,000 rpm, and so do the driven tools, which are fitted front and back.
With a back spindle of that size and driven tools on the back side, the second end of a part can be turned and milled in earnest instead of just faced. A precision Swiss-type guide bushing is listed. The control is a Fanuc 32i.
The machine is listed at approximately 2,750 x 1,400 x 1,950 mm and approximately 3,700 kg (8,157 lbs). The table does not break the 32 tool positions into groups and gives no stroke, rapid traverse or driven-tool power figures, so confirm those and the figures above against the documentation for the specific machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 11 kW (14.7 hp) main spindle on a 38 mm (1.496 in) bar capacity
- 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) back spindle running up to 6,000 rpm
- Driven tools on front and back, up to 6,000 rpm
- Up to 32 tool positions under 9-axis simultaneous control
- 220 mm (8.66 in) maximum machining length
Limitations
- Spindle speed tops out at 6,000 rpm on both main and back spindles, which holds back surface speed on small-diameter features
- Approx. 3,700 kg (8,157 lbs) and approx. 2,750 x 1,400 x 1,950 mm, so floor space and loading need checking
- The listed figures do not state driven-tool power, strokes or how the 32 tool positions are divided

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum bar capacity and machining diameter are both 38 mm (1.496 in). Maximum machining length is 220 mm (8.66 in), and a precision Swiss-type guide bushing is listed.
02
The main spindle is listed at 11 kW (14.7 hp) and the back spindle at 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). Both run up to 6,000 rpm. Driven tools, front and back, also run up to 6,000 rpm; their power is not listed.
03
Both take 38 mm bar. The XQ38 II is listed with an 11 kW (14.7 hp) main spindle at up to 6,000 rpm and a weight of approximately 3,700 kg (8,157 lbs). The XD38II is listed with a 5.5/7.5 kW main motor at 6,500 rpm and a weight of 3,600 kg (7,937 lb).
04
The table gives approximate figures: about 2,750 x 1,400 x 1,950 mm and about 3,700 kg (8,157 lbs). Allow extra length for a bar feeder behind the machine.
