2021 HYUNDAI KF5600C VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2021 Hyundai WIA KF5600C is a 3-axis vertical machining center built around a fixed-column wide-body design that delivers the rigid structure and large working envelope demanded by heavy-duty mold, die, and general precision machining. The generously proportioned worktable measures 49.2" x 22.0" (1,250 x 560 mm) and supports workpieces weighing up to 2,205 lbs (1,000 kg), while the axis travels of 43.3" / 22.0" / 20.5" (1,100 / 560 / 520 mm) in X, Y, and Z provide ample reach for large or complex parts. The spindle uses a BBT40 dual-contact taper interface and is rated at 20 HP (15 kW) continuous power with a standard maximum speed of 8,000 RPM. High-speed options of 10,000, 12,000, 15,000, and 20,000 RPM are available to suit a wider range of materials and cutting strategies. Rapid traverse rates of 40 m/min (1,575 IPM) on all axes minimize non-cutting time and keep cycle times competitive. Structural rigidity is maintained through box guideway construction on all three axes, which offers superior damping characteristics and load capacity compared to linear-roller alternatives, making the KF5600C particularly well suited to heavy interrupted cuts and aggressive roughing. The standard 30-tool automatic tool changer (expandable to 40 tools) supports efficient multi-operation setups without operator intervention. Machine control is provided by the Fanuc i Series integrated with the Hyundai WIA Smart Plus interface, combining industry-proven reliability with an intuitive operator environment. The machine occupies a footprint of 153.7" x 92.2" with a height of 119.2" and weighs approximately 14,330 lbs (6,500 kg), reflecting the substantial cast construction that underpins its precision and longevity.
