Ask us to check the process, configuration and automation scope.

Selection support only. Final suitability requires an engineering review of your part and configuration.

Who your customers could be

Sell into a process.
Not just an industry name.

Use these application profiles to qualify opportunities in your market. Final suitability depends on the drawing, material, tolerances and production plan.

01 / SMALL-PART PRODUCTION

Bar-fed component manufacturers

Look for repeat turning work with a stable tool sequence and a clear need to manage handling and tool-change time.

Example parts to evaluate

Connectors, sleeves, bushings and rings.

Start the discussion: gang type or turret lathe

02 / FLEXIBLE TURNING

Job shops & component suppliers

Qualify part variety, chucking requirements, boring-tool size and changeover needs before selecting machine capacity.

Example parts to evaluate

Shafts, flanges and chuck-held components.

Start the discussion: turret lathe or turn-mill

03 / PROCESS CONSOLIDATION

Manufacturers of multi-operation parts

Identify parts that need turning plus drilling or milling, or front- and back-side work across multiple setups.

Example parts to evaluate

Parts with flats, cross-holes and back-side features.

Start the discussion: turn-mill or twin-spindle

Application examples are selection starting points—not customer references or blanket capability guarantees.

Four product families

A range you can explain.
A reason to recommend each machine.

Lead with the customer’s process. Recommend additional axes, tooling or spindle capability only when the application supports it.

Linear tool layout

Gang Type Lathe

Compact turning for repeat parts whose tool sequence fits a linear gang-tool arrangement.

Clarify first: bar size, tool count, interference and chip evacuation.

Start with: a focused offer for suitable small-part production.

Compare P120 / P160 / P200 →

Flexible tool selection

Turret Type Lathe

A turning platform for varied operations, tool requirements and workpiece sizes.

Clarify first: turning envelope, chuck, boring bars, turret and support.

Start with: match a broader mix of customer turning jobs.

Explore turret lathes →

Turning + milling

Turning-Milling Centers

Evaluate powered tooling and Y-axis options for parts combining turning, drilling, tapping or milling.

Clarify first: feature location, tool access, axis travel and setup plan.

Start with: develop opportunities around process consolidation.

Explore turn-mill centers →

Front + back-side work

Twin-Spindle Lathes

Evaluate front- and back-side machining with a spindle layout matched to the complete process.

Clarify first: transfer strategy, spindle compatibility, tooling and takt time.

Start with: discuss handling and throughput with production teams.

A practical sales conversation

Turn the first customer call
into a useful machine shortlist.

This is a starting guide, not a final machine recommendation. Match dimensions and process requirements against the specific model’s published specifications.

Customer situation	Start by considering	Ask before recommending	When to review another option
Repeat small parts with a stable tool set	Gang Type Lathe	What bar size and how many tools? Will the complete sequence fit?	Consider a turret when tooling flexibility or interference becomes a constraint.
Different turned parts or larger tooling needs	Turret Type Lathe	What are the chucking, turning-length and boring requirements?	Review turn-mill if drilled or milled features require another setup.
Turning plus milling, holes or flats	Turning-Milling Center	Where are the features? Is Y-axis capability required by the tool path?	Do not assume every turn-mill model has Y-axis or identical tooling.
Front- and back-side operations	Twin-Spindle Lathe	Can the workpiece be transferred and supported? Which operations run on each side?	Confirm tooling, transfer and cycle balance from the complete process.

01 / PartDrawing & material

01 / SALES PREPARATION

A product range for different needs

Use the published model information to explain the differences between turning, turn-mill and twin-spindle configurations.

02 / TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

Drawing-based factory support

Coordinate specifications, application questions and machine selection before confirming a customer proposal.

03 / OPPORTUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Project & marketing cooperation

Discuss project registration, qualified regional inquiry referrals and agreed exhibition or advertising support.

Project protection, discounts, territory rights, marketing activities, warranty and service responsibilities are subject to written agreement—not automatic entitlements. Read the distributor program →

How to read Chuanhe CNC lathe model numbers

Use the model name to identify the machine family and key capabilities, then check the specification table to confirm your selection.

Start with the machine family

P: Gang-tool CNC lathe — tools arranged in a linear gang-tool layout.
C: Turret-type CNC lathe — tools mounted on a turret.

Example: C200MYS-500

C: Turret-type CNC lathe — tools mounted on a turret.
200: Nominal main-spindle chuck diameter class, in mm.
M: Milling capability for turning and milling operations.
Y: Y-axis for off-center tool positioning.
S: Sub-spindle: a main-spindle and sub-spindle configuration.
500: Nominal maximum turning-length class, in mm — an approximate designation, not an exact specification.

Read the capability letters together

M: Turning + milling
MY: Turning + milling + Y-axis
MS: Turning + milling + Sub-spindle
MYS: Turning + milling + Y-axis + Sub-spindle

Chuck diameter is not the maximum turning diameter or bar capacity. The number after the hyphen is only a nominal turning-length reference. Confirm the actual dimensions, configuration and usable machining envelope in the model’s specification table, taking workholding and tooling into account.

This guide covers the standard P and C naming patterns shown here. Do not apply it to additional letters or special series such as CX200, C200H or C200HS; check their individual product pages.

Keep the product details one click away

Explore the published lathe range.

Choose a family to find the existing product pages. Series may overlap where a model combines turn-mill and twin-spindle capability.

Model links retain the current published URLs. Final machine configuration is confirmed in the project quotation.

Questions before the first conversation

For distributors and project buyers.

Can I start with one lathe product family?

Discuss a focused range based on your market and customer experience. Product scope and cooperation terms are agreed individually; you do not need to assume that every family suits your market.

Can a distributor without a full service team apply?

Yes. Chuanhe can review a practical support arrangement. Installation, training, travel, warranty and service responsibilities must be agreed for each project.

Can you estimate cycle time or recommend automation?

Send the drawing, material, quantity, process and target cycle time. Cycle estimates and automation options require application evaluation; no universal saving or output figure is promised.

Should I choose turn-mill or twin-spindle?

These describe different capabilities and can overlap. Turn-mill adds milling-related operations; a twin-spindle layout addresses work on two spindles. The correct combination depends on feature geometry, workholding, tooling and the operation sequence.
