2001 HYUNDAI KIA VX500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2001 Hyundai KIA VX500 is a 3-axis vertical machining center built on a rigid cast iron structure for general-purpose mold, die, and precision component machining. The machine provides a 47.2" x 19.7" worktable with X/Y/Z travels of 41.7", 20.1", and 25.0", offering a capable machining envelope for mid-to-large workpieces. A 20 HP continuous spindle motor drives the CAT40 spindle to 10,000 RPM, providing versatile cutting capability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 24-tool side-mounted ATC enables multi-operation setups with fast tool changes. The Fanuc 21i-MB CNC control, standard for this production year, offers comprehensive G-code compatibility, rigid tapping, and macro programming. Rapid traverse rates of 36 m/min on X/Y and 30 m/min on Z contribute to efficient part cycle times. Box guideway construction on all three axes delivers the rigidity and thermal stability required for consistent dimensional accuracy in production environments. Maximum table load is 1,764 lbs. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 114.8" x 93.0" x 110.2" with a machine weight of approximately 15,432 lbs. The VX500 has established a strong track record in North American job shops and production facilities as a reliable, high-value mid-size vertical machining center.
