Overview

The Hyundai WIA F500 is a 40-taper vertical machining center with an 8,000 RPM spindle and box ways, and it is no longer in Hyundai WIA's current lineup. The listed figures were gathered from a third-party listing and carry two different descriptions of the machine's size, so what follows separates the consistent rows from the ones a buyer has to measure.

Consistent: 8,000 RPM appears in both speed rows, and both taper rows give a size 40. The guideways are described as hardened and ground box ways, which favours damping in heavy cuts. Rapid traverse is listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z, chip-to-chip time at 4.0 sec, and machine weight at 8,000 kg (17,637 lb).

Not consistent: travel is given in one set of rows as 1,016 mm (40 in) by 508 mm (20 in) by 508 mm (20 in), and in another set as 41.732 in, 20.079 in and 25 in. The Y figures nearly agree; X and Z do not. The table is 1,270 x 533 mm (50 x 21 in) in one row and 47.244 in long by 19.685 in wide in the other pair. The magazine is a 30-tool side-mount ATC in one row and 24 tools in the other, and spindle power is 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) or 20.1 hp.

For a used F500 that means four checks before committing: run each axis to its limits and read the travel, measure the table, count the magazine pockets, and read the spindle motor plate. The F500D, a related model, is listed with a 1,050 x 500 mm (41.3 x 19.7 in) table and a 10,000 RPM spindle, so make sure which of the two a seller is offering.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Hardened and ground box ways on a 40-taper machine, a combination suited to steel
8,000 RPM spindle, the one speed figure on which both rows agree
Listed rapids of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z
4.0 sec chip-to-chip time as listed

Limitations

X travel is listed as 1,016 mm (40 in) and as 41.732 in; Z as 508 mm (20 in) and as 25 in
Table size appears as 1,270 x 533 mm (50 x 21 in) and as 47.244 x 19.685 in
Tool capacity is listed as a 30-tool ATC and, separately, as 24 tools; power is 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) or 20.1 hp
No table load, spindle torque or accuracy figure is listed
Not in the current Hyundai WIA lineup; the figures come from a third-party listing

Best For

Steel and cast iron milling where box ways and a 40-taper spindle are wanted General 3-axis work at up to 8,000 RPM Used-machine buyers who can verify travel, table and magazine on site

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the Hyundai WIA F500?

The listing gives two sets. The first is 1,016 mm (40 in) in X, 508 mm (20 in) in Y and 508 mm (20 in) in Z. The second is 41.732 in, 20.079 in and 25 in. Y is close in both; X and Z differ enough to matter, so have the seller confirm the axis strokes.

02 How many tools does the F500 carry?

One row lists a 30-tool side-mount ATC with a 4.0 sec chip-to-chip time. Another row lists 24 tools. Count the pockets on the machine itself; the table has no maximum tool diameter, length or weight.

03 What spindle does the F500 have?

An 8,000 RPM spindle with a size 40 taper; the rows read CAT 40 and NT#40. Power is listed as 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) in one row and 20.1 hp in another. No torque figure is given, so judge heavy-cut capacity from the motor plate.

04 Is the F500 the same machine as the F500D?

They are listed separately. The F500D shows a 1,050 x 500 mm (41.3 x 19.7 in) table, a 10,000 RPM spindle and 30 tools. The F500 shows 8,000 RPM and, depending on the row, a 1,270 x 533 mm (50 x 21 in) table. Check the model plate so the right table is being compared.
