2014 HYUNDAI F500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2014 Hyundai WIA F500 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from the Hyundai WIA F-series, providing an expanded work envelope and enhanced rigidity for mid-size production machining applications. The machine provides 41.7-inch X-axis travel, 20.1-inch Y-axis travel, and 25-inch Z-axis travel across a 47.2-inch by 19.7-inch worktable with a maximum table load of 1,764 pounds. The BBT 40 dual-contact spindle delivers 15 horsepower continuous at up to 8,000 RPM standard with 10,000 and 12,000 RPM options available, providing flexibility for aluminum, steel, and a broad range of engineering materials. The dual-contact BBT 40 tooling interface improves clamping rigidity and minimizes tool runout at speed, contributing to superior surface finish and longer tool life. A 30-tool automatic tool changer supports complex multi-operation machining without manual tool changes. The machine is equipped with Fanuc i-Series CNC control (Hyundai WIA Smart Plus), providing reliable servo performance and full G-code compatibility for complex production programs. The rigid construction provides good thermal stability and vibration damping for consistent accuracy across production runs. At approximately 17,500 pounds, the F500 is a solid mid-size vertical machining center well suited to production machining of components requiring the larger travel envelope, contract machining operations, and job shops seeking a reliable workhorse VMC with BBT 40 tooling compatibility.
