HYUNDAI WIA L500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Hyundai WIA L500 is a heavy-duty CNC turning center engineered for precision and productivity in demanding machining applications. Featuring a 21-inch chuck with maximum turning diameter of 31.4 inches and turning length of 87 inches, the machine accommodates large workpieces including bars up to 6 inches in diameter. The main spindle operates at 1,500 RPM with 40 HP output, delivering 2,990 Nm of torque for powerful cutting performance. The L500 incorporates a rigid one-piece bed structure with a 30° slanted design, optimized through finite element analysis to minimize vibration and thermal distortion while ensuring exceptional accuracy during heavy-duty operations. Box guideways on all axes provide superior rigidity and enhanced surface contact for stability during intensive cutting. The machine utilizes a 12-station turret tool carrier for turning and rotary operations, with milling capability operating at 3,000 RPM and 15 HP. Rapid traverse rates reach 787 IPM across X, Y, and Z axes, with X-axis travel of 15.7 inches and Z-axis travel matching the 87-inch turning length. Standard 2-axis configuration is available with optional 3-axis capability for enhanced machining versatility. The L500 is controlled via FANUC CNC, featuring absolute motor encoders on all axes for consistent accuracy and high precision spindle design that minimizes thermal displacement, making it ideal for complex turning, boring, and milling operations requiring heavy-duty cutting capability.
