Optimized for Pyongyang's automotive and hardware manufacturing hubs.
Engineered for high-accuracy small component processing.
A versatile solution for regional machinery and instrument factories.
Superior stability and speed for high-volume industrial production.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has consistently prioritized the development of its machine tool industry as the bedrock of its national economic strategy (Juche). Horizontal lathes are pivotal in this ecosystem, supporting everything from agricultural machinery production to the heavy-duty components required for the mining and energy sectors. As Pyongyang continues to modernize its industrial base, the demand for high-precision, automated CNC (Computer Numerical Control) horizontal lathes has surged.
Major industrial hubs like the Huichon Machine Tool Factory and the Ryongsong Machine Complex require robust machinery capable of processing large-diameter workpieces. Our horizontal lathes are designed to meet these rigorous standards, offering the thermal stability and structural rigidity necessary for continuous operation in diverse environments.
Globally, the horizontal lathe market is shifting toward Multi-Tasking machines that combine turning and milling. Our latest series integrates these capabilities, allowing North Korean factories to reduce setup times and increase accuracy by completing complex parts in a single clamping operation.
We provide comprehensive solutions that include standardized spare parts and modular designs, ensuring that maintenance can be performed locally with minimal downtime—a critical factor for sustained industrial growth in the region.
Based in the machinery heartland of Zhejiang and expanded to a massive 30,000 sqm facility in Jiangsu, Shiheng CNC is a premier global provider of machining solutions. We bring over decades of expertise to the North Korean market, ensuring every lathe meets international quality benchmarks.
Our CK, XG, and GD series machines are renowned for their high precision, uniform specifications, and strong versatility. Utilizing super-audio hardened guide rails and high-precision bearings, our equipment is built for durability.
Processing of crankshafts, axles, and transmission components for local heavy-duty vehicles and tractor production facilities.
Manufacturing of high-precision components for irrigation pumps and agricultural implements to support national food security initiatives.
Turning of large-scale turbine components and electrical motor shafts for hydroelectric and thermal power plants across the country.
High-accuracy mold making for the domestic consumer goods and hardware industries, ensuring self-sufficiency in manufacturing.
The future of Horizontal Lathe Machining lies in Smart Manufacturing (Industry 4.0). Our roadmap for the North Korean market focuses on three core pillars:
Implementation of CNC controllers with Ethernet and USB interfaces for seamless program transfer and monitoring.
Introduction of AI sensors that adjust cutting parameters in real-time to compensate for tool wear or material variances.
Full robotic arm integration for 24/7 "lights-out" manufacturing, maximizing the output of North Korean factories.
High-grade casting and precision grinding for ultimate base stability.
Every machine undergoes 72 hours of continuous testing before shipment.
Top-tier electronic components ensuring interference-free CNC operation.
