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-CUT400TD is a compact BBT30 vertical machining center with a 12,000 rpm direct-drive spindle, travels of 520 mm (20.5 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 330 mm (13 in) in Z, and a 650 × 400 mm (25.6 × 15.7 in) table. The Y travel matches the table depth, so the full depth of the table sits under the spindle.

Much of what makes the machine quick is optional. Standard rapids are 48 / 48 / 48 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,890 ipm); 56 / 56 / 56 m/min (2,205 / 2,205 / 2,205 ipm) is an option. The standard magazine holds 14 tools. A 21-tool magazine is optional, and the row also lists twin-arm changers with 20 or 24 tools as options. A job that needs more than 14 tools, or the highest axis speeds, has to be quoted with those boxes ticked.

The spindle is rated 13 / 3.7 kW (17.4 / 5 hp) and 82.7 / 23.5 N·m (61 / 17.3 ft-lbf). The gap between the two figures in each pair is wide: the lower power value is under a third of the higher one. If the higher figure is a short-time rating, as is usual for paired spindle figures, continuous cutting has to be planned around the smaller numbers. At 12,000 rpm the spindle suits small tools in aluminium and light work in steel.

Table load is the row to query. It reads 2 - 250, with no unit and no explanation of the leading 2. Before fixturing anything heavy, get WIA to state the permitted load and what it applies to. The table also omits tool change time and machine weight.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12,000 rpm direct-drive spindle on a BBT30 taper
Travels of 520 x 400 x 330 mm (20.5 x 15.7 x 13 in) with a 650 × 400 mm (25.6 × 15.7 in) table
Standard rapids of 48 / 48 / 48 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,890 ipm), with 56 / 56 / 56 m/min (2,205 / 2,205 / 2,205 ipm) available
Tool changer choices beyond the standard 14 tools: 21, or twin arm with 20 or 24
82.7 / 23.5 N·m (61 / 17.3 ft-lbf) of spindle torque with 13 / 3.7 kW (17.4 / 5 hp)

Limitations

Only 14 tools as standard; larger magazines are options
The 56 / 56 / 56 m/min (2,205 / 2,205 / 2,205 ipm) rapid rate is an option, not the base figure
The lower spindle figures, 3.7 kW (5 hp) and 23.5 N·m (17.3 ft-lbf), limit sustained cutting
Table load is listed as 2 - 250 without a unit
330 mm (13 in) of Z restricts tall parts and long tools together

Best For

Drilling, tapping and light milling of small parts at up to 12,000 rpm Aluminium housings and brackets within 520 x 400 x 330 mm (20.5 x 15.7 x 13 in) Short-cycle work that justifies the optional 56 / 56 / 56 m/min rapids Jobs that fit the standard 14 tools, or one of the optional changers

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many tools does the i-CUT400TD hold?

14 tools as standard. The options listed are a 21-tool magazine and twin-arm changers with 20 or 24 tools. The table gives no tool change time for any of them, so ask for it if the job is tool-change heavy.

02 What are the rapid rates of the i-CUT400TD?

48 / 48 / 48 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,890 ipm) on X, Y and Z as standard, with 56 / 56 / 56 m/min (2,205 / 2,205 / 2,205 ipm) listed as optional. Over travels of 520 mm (20.5 in) and less, the axes spend little time at full speed, so the option matters most on parts with many widely spaced features.

03 What spindle does the i-CUT400TD have?

A direct-drive BBT30 spindle with a maximum of 12,000 rpm, 13 / 3.7 kW (17.4 / 5 hp) and 82.7 / 23.5 N·m (61 / 17.3 ft-lbf). The table does not label the two values in each pair and lists no alternative spindle for this model.

04 What is the table size and load of the i-CUT400TD?

The table is 650 × 400 mm (25.6 × 15.7 in). The load row reads 2 - 250 and gives no unit, so the permitted weight should be confirmed with WIA before designing a fixture. Y travel of 400 mm (15.7 in) covers the table depth; X travel of 520 mm (20.5 in) is shorter than the table length.

05 How does the i-CUT400TD differ from the i-CUT4000/4500?

The i-CUT4000/4500 page lists 300 mm of Z, 21 tools and a 300 kg table load, where the i-CUT400TD has 330 mm (13 in) of Z and 14 tools as standard. Both give 13 / 3.7 kW as the first spindle power figure.
