Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Hyundai WIA. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Hyundai WIA i-CUT4000/4500 is a pair of compact 30-taper vertical machining centers built for short cycles: 56 / 56 / 56 m/min rapids on all three axes, a 1.8 s tool change and a direct-drive spindle on a BBT30 shank. WIA's table gives the i-CUT4000 400 mm (15.7 in) of X and 300 mm (11.8 in) of Y over a 550 x 300 mm (21.7 x 11.8 in) table, with 300 mm of Z.

Y travel equals the table depth, 300 mm, so the whole depth is reachable, while X travel covers 400 mm of the 550 mm table length. Table load is 300 kg. That is enough for a vise or a small fixture plate carrying aluminium or small steel parts, not for heavy fixtures.

Spindle power is written as 13 / 3.7 kW, followed by two bracketed alternatives, 18 / 5.5 kW and 3.7 / 1.1 kW. The table does not explain the brackets, and it gives no spindle speed or torque, so the spindle variant and its speed range are the first things to pin down in a quotation. For reference, the i-CUT400TD lists the same 13 / 3.7 kW (17.4 / 5 hp) with 12,000 rpm and 82.7 / 23.5 N·m (61 / 17.3 ft-lbf).

The i-CUT4500 shares this page, but the size rows (X, Y and table) are labelled for the i-CUT4000 only. Z travel, the 21-tool magazine, table load, rapids and tool change time are listed without a model label. Anyone specifying an i-CUT4500 should ask for its travels and table size.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

56 / 56 / 56 m/min rapid traverse on X, Y and Z
1.8 s tool change time with a 21-tool magazine
Direct-drive spindle on a BBT30 tool shank
i-CUT4000 Y travel of 300 mm (11.8 in) covers the full depth of its 550 x 300 mm (21.7 x 11.8 in) table
Spindle power row offers 13 / 3.7 kW, with 18 / 5.5 kW shown as a bracketed alternative

Limitations

No spindle speed or torque is listed
Table load is 300 kg, which limits heavy fixtures
i-CUT4000 X travel is 400 mm (15.7 in), shorter than its 550 mm table
Travels and table size for the i-CUT4500 are not given
BBT30 tooling limits cutter size and rigidity for heavy steel roughing

Best For

Drilling, tapping and light milling of small parts on BBT30 tooling Short-cycle production where 56 / 56 / 56 m/min rapids and a 1.8 s tool change count i-CUT4000: parts within 400 x 300 x 300 mm of travel Fixtures and parts totalling no more than 300 kg

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the i-CUT4000?

400 mm (15.7 in) in X and 300 mm (11.8 in) in Y, with 300 mm of Z. The table is 550 x 300 mm (21.7 x 11.8 in) and carries up to 300 kg. WIA's table labels the X, Y and table rows for the i-CUT4000 and gives no separate figures for the i-CUT4500.

02 What spindle power does the i-CUT4000/4500 have?

The row gives 13 / 3.7 kW first, then 18 / 5.5 kW and 3.7 / 1.1 kW in brackets. The table does not say what the bracketed values belong to. The drive is direct and the tool shank is BBT30. No spindle speed is listed.

03 How fast is the i-CUT4000/4500 between cuts?

Rapid traverse is 56 / 56 / 56 m/min on X, Y and Z and the tool change time is 1.8 s. On parts with many holes and frequent tool changes, those two figures account for most of the non-cutting time.

04 How does the i-CUT4000 compare with the i-CUT400TD?

The i-CUT400TD is listed with longer travels, 520 mm (20.5 in), 400 mm (15.7 in) and 330 mm (13 in), and a 650 × 400 mm (25.6 × 15.7 in) table. The i-CUT400TD's standard magazine is 14 tools with 21 as an option, and its standard rapids are 48 / 48 / 48 m/min with 56 / 56 / 56 m/min optional. The i-CUT4000 lists 21 tools and 56 / 56 / 56 m/min without an option note.

05 How many tools does the i-CUT4000/4500 hold?

21 tools on BBT30 shanks, changed in 1.8 s. The table gives no maximum tool diameter, length or weight, which matter on a spindle of this size, so check those limits against the longest drill and the largest face mill in the job.
