Of the five automatic lathe models that were displayed at the exhibit, four were gang-type lathes that have a tool post that moves on two axes to machine the material – their model numbers were XD12III-H, XD20V, XD38II-N, and XD42H.

The XD38II-N features a collaborative robot automation system that is designed to boost productivity of machining-forged products³. The XD12III-H is optimized to operate with high-precision and yield high-output. New upgrades have been added to the previous model, giving the XD12III-H a new competitiveness in the small component tool market. These products will spearhead Hanwha's efforts to identify new demand in the European machine tool market and promote the company's key products to potential customers.
