P120
Smallest bar capacity and highest compactness for fast small-part work.
- Φ300 × 300 mm turning
- Φ36 mm bar capacity
- 6000 rpm, 5-inch chuck
Fast tool changes, compact production
Gang Type CNC Lathes for Fast Small-Part Production
Use a linear gang-tool layout to shorten non-cutting time and simplify maintenance for repeat small-part production. Compare P120, P160 and P200 by bar capacity, spindle speed and tooling size, then send your drawing for a process review.

Choose by stock and tooling
The right gang lathe starts with bar size and operation count
Gang tooling is valuable when the process fits a compact, repeatable tool layout. Verify bar or blank size, tool count, boring-bar diameter, chip evacuation and automation before selection.
P160
More bar and spindle power while retaining the compact gang-tool concept.
- Φ300 × 320 mm turning
- Φ42 mm bar capacity
- 5000 rpm, 6-inch chuck
P200
Larger chuck and bar capacity for heavier small-part machining.
- Φ300 × 305 mm turning
- Φ52 mm bar capacity
- 4500 rpm, 8-inch chuck
Best-Fit Check
Choose gang tooling when the required operations fit the available linear positions without turret-indexing flexibility.
- Confirm tool count and interference
- Plan chip flow and coolant
- Validate cycle time from the drawing

Selection workflow
Four checks show whether gang tooling is the right choice
Fast indexing is not the only criterion. The complete operation sequence must fit a stable linear tool layout.
Send a Part Drawing01
Confirm raw stock and bar diameter
Choose the smallest machine that safely handles the bar, chuck or blank.
02
Map every tool position
List OD, ID, grooving, threading and cutoff tools and check interference.
03
Check chip evacuation
Small, fast parts can generate concentrated chips around fixed tool positions.
04
Validate automation and cycle time
Define bar feeder, parts collection, inspection and unattended-run requirements.
Typical applications
Where gang tooling creates value
Bearing and ring components
Repeatable OD, ID, facing and grooving sequences benefit from short tool-to-tool travel.
Connectors and sleeves
Bar-fed components with a stable tool set can reduce non-cutting time.
Precision small parts
Compact layouts suit high-mix or batch work when tooling fits without turret flexibility.
Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the main advantage of a gang type CNC lathe?
Tools are arranged linearly, reducing index time and keeping the mechanism simple for suitable repeat parts.
When should I choose a turret lathe instead?
Choose a turret when the part needs more tools, larger boring bars, broader tooling flexibility or frequent process changes.
Can a bar feeder be added?
Automation must be matched to bar diameter, remnant length, discharge method and required unattended time.
Why are P160 and P200 not separate products here?
This page follows the current website structure: one product-family page with three published specification columns.
Can Chuanhe estimate cycle time?
Yes, with the drawing, material, operation list, tooling assumptions and annual quantity.
Is FANUC the only control option?
The current table lists FANUC 0i-TF. Final control and functions must be confirmed in the quotation.
