Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Hyundai WIA. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Hyundai WIA KF3500/5A is a 5-axis machining center with a Ø350 mm (13.8 in) table, a 250 kg (551 lb) table load and travels of 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 655 mm (25.8 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z. Y is the longest axis, so the working envelope is deeper than it is wide, and the table is much smaller than the travels around it. It is the smaller of two KF 5-axis models and sits below the KF7300/5A.

The standard spindle runs to 12,000 rpm on a BBT40 taper and is rated 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp) with 118 / 52.5 N·m (87 / 38.7 ft-lbf) of torque. Two faster spindles are optional, 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm, and HSK-A63 is an optional taper. The option list also gives a second rating of 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp) with 98 / 80 N·m (72.3 / 59 ft-lbf). Hyundai WIA's table does not spell out which rating goes with which speed, but the order of the entries points to the higher-power, lower-torque rating belonging to the 20,000 rpm spindle. Get that pairing in writing with the quotation.

Rapids are 36 / 36 / 30 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 1,181 ipm) in X, Y and Z. The KF7300/5A is the step up for part size: a Ø630 mm (24.8 in) table, 500 kg (1,102 lb) of table load, 765 mm (30.1 in) of X and 40 / 40 / 40 m/min (1,575 / 1,575 / 1,575 ipm) rapids. The KF7300/5A's standard spindle is also stronger, at 204 / 119 N·m (150.5 / 87.8 ft-lbf).

What the KF3500/5A keeps is the same BBT40 standard taper, the same HSK-A63 option and the same 20,000 rpm ceiling, plus a 15,000 rpm middle option. The control is listed as FANUC 0i-MF Plus (5-axis).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Three spindle speeds to choose from: 12,000 rpm standard, with 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm optional
Standard spindle rated 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp) with 118 / 52.5 N·m (87 / 38.7 ft-lbf)
655 mm (25.8 in) of Y travel behind a Ø350 mm (13.8 in) table, with 600 mm (23.6 in) of X and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z
BBT40 taper as standard, with HSK-A63 available as an option
Rapids of 36 / 36 / 30 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 1,181 ipm) in X, Y and Z

Limitations

Table load is 250 kg (551 lb), half the 500 kg (1,102 lb) of the KF7300/5A, and the fixture counts against it
The Ø350 mm (13.8 in) table is far smaller than the 600 mm (23.6 in) of X travel, so the workholding surface, not the travel, limits part size
The 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm spindles and the HSK-A63 taper are options, not part of the standard machine
Z rapid is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm), slower than the 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) of X and Y

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle options does the KF3500/5A have?

The standard spindle is 12,000 rpm, rated 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp) and 118 / 52.5 N·m (87 / 38.7 ft-lbf). Options are 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm. The option ratings are listed as 18.5 / 11 kW with 118 / 52.5 N·m, and 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp) with 98 / 80 N·m (72.3 / 59 ft-lbf). They appear in the same order as the two optional speeds, which suggests the second rating is the 20,000 rpm spindle; confirm it on the quotation.

02 How much weight can the KF3500/5A table carry?

250 kg (551 lb) on a Ø350 mm (13.8 in) table. That figure has to cover the vise or fixture as well as the part. If the work is heavier, the KF7300/5A carries 500 kg (1,102 lb) on a Ø630 mm (24.8 in) table.

03 How does the KF3500/5A differ from the KF7300/5A?

Size and spindle. The KF3500/5A has 600 mm (23.6 in) of X, a Ø350 mm (13.8 in) table and a 250 kg (551 lb) load limit. The KF7300/5A has 765 mm (30.1 in) of X, a Ø630 mm (24.8 in) table and 500 kg (1,102 lb). Y and Z are close on both: 655 mm (25.8 in) and 500 mm (19.7 in) here, 650 mm (25.6 in) and 520 mm (20.5 in) on the KF7300/5A. Both start at 12,000 rpm on BBT40.

04 What are the travels and rapid rates of the KF3500/5A?

Travels are 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 655 mm (25.8 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z. Rapids are 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z. Hyundai WIA's headline table gives no tilt range or rotary speeds for this model, so ask for those before planning undercut work.
