Advantages
DMG Mori ALX 2000
- 260 mm (10.2 in) of X travel against 220 mm
- 575 mm (22.6 in) of Z travel against 560 mm
- Milling or a Y-axis can be ordered as a specification for mixed turning and milling
Hyundai WIA L230A
- Aimed at shops expanding turning capacity on a budget
- Suited to training facilities and second-operation turning cells
Verdict
The published travels differ little, so the work decides. Choose the DMG Mori ALX 2000 when parts need the extra X travel, 260 mm (10.2 in) against 220 mm, or when milling or a Y-axis is wanted on the same machine. Choose the Hyundai WIA L230A for straightforward production turning in a job shop, supplier cell or training facility where a compact, affordable lathe is the priority. Both take 65 mm bar.
