Hyundai WIA HD-SY (SY type)

Q: How much does the Hyundai WIA HD-SY (SY type) cost?

Our best estimate for the Hyundai WIA HD-SY (SY type) is $140,000 - $240,000. This is an estimate for a cnc lathes / turning centers in this class, not a quote from Hyundai WIA; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially.

Overview

The Hyundai WIA HD-SY (SY type) groups the HD turning centres that carry both a sub-spindle and a Y axis. The listed figures are ranges across the models in the group, not one machine: a maximum turning diameter of 300-420 mm (11.8-16.5 in), a main chuck of 8 to 12 in and a sub-spindle chuck of 6 to 8 in, depending on model.

The main spindle is listed at 2,800-4,000 RPM with power from 18.5/15 kW to 26/18.5 kW. On a range like this the larger chucks normally sit at the slower, more powerful end, but the listing does not tie each figure to a model, so get the row for the exact machine before matching it to a part.

Travels are 215-265 mm (8.5-10.4 in) in X, 110-120 mm (4.3-4.7 in) in Y and 680-830 mm (26.8-32.7 in) in Z, with rapids of 24/10/30 m/min in X/Y/Z. The turret is a 12-station BMT wedge-type Y-axis unit with live tools at 5,000-6,000 RPM, and all axes run on box ways. That much Y is enough for off-centre drilling, flats and keyways on a turned diameter. It does not replace a machining centre on wide prismatic faces.

What the listing leaves out matters on a sub-spindle lathe: there is no torque figure, no bar capacity and no speed or power for the second spindle. Those decide whether the back of a part can be cut at the same data as the front, so ask for them.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Sub-spindle and Y axis on one machine: a main chuck of 8 to 12 in and a sub-spindle chuck of 6 to 8 in, depending on model
12-station BMT wedge-type Y-axis turret with live tools at 5,000-6,000 RPM
Y travel of 110-120 mm (4.3-4.7 in) for off-centre milling and drilling
Box ways on all axes, which favours damping in heavy and interrupted cuts

Limitations

Every headline figure is a range across models, so the listed figures cannot size one specific machine
The Y rapid is 10 m/min, against 24 m/min in X and 30 m/min in Z
No torque, bar capacity or sub-spindle speed and power is listed

Best For

Parts finished on both ends in one cycle by handing over to the sub-spindle Turned parts with cross holes, flats or keyways within 110-120 mm (4.3-4.7 in) of Y Work from 300 to 420 mm (11.8-16.5 in) of maximum turning diameter, by model

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the SY type add to an HD lathe?

The listed figures show two things a plain X/Z lathe lacks: a sub-spindle, with a 6 to 8 in chuck depending on model, and a Y axis with 110-120 mm (4.3-4.7 in) of travel on a 12-station BMT wedge-type turret. Live tools run at 5,000-6,000 RPM. Together they let a part be turned, milled off-centre, passed to the second spindle and finished on the back.

02 Why are the HD-SY figures given as ranges?

Because the listing covers several models at once. Maximum turning diameter runs 300-420 mm (11.8-16.5 in), spindle speed 2,800-4,000 RPM and spindle power from 18.5/15 kW to 26/18.5 kW. Nothing in it says which model has which figure, so ask for the single-model sheet before matching a machine to a part.

03 How fast do the axes move on the HD-SY?

Rapids are listed as 24/10/30 m/min for X/Y/Z. Y is the slow axis. That matters little while cutting, but a program that repositions in Y between many features will spend its idle time there. All axes run on box ways.

04 What travels does the HD-SY (SY type) have?

X travel is 215-265 mm (8.5-10.4 in), Y travel 110-120 mm (4.3-4.7 in) and Z travel 680-830 mm (26.8-32.7 in), depending on model. No maximum turning length is listed, and on a sub-spindle machine the usable length between the two chucks is shorter than the Z stroke, so have it confirmed for the model you are quoted.
