Hyundai WIA KF5600

The Hyundai WIA KF5600 is a mid-size vertical machining center that delivers Korean value pricing with Japanese-competitive specifications. Hyundai WIA (formerly Hyundai-Kia Machine) is backed by the Hyundai Motor Group, and the KF-series is their bread-and-butter VMC line for job shops and production environments. The KF5600 sits in the middle of the lineup, offering more travel than the KF4600 and a smaller footprint than the KF6700.

Travel is 1,100 x 560 x 520 mm (43.3 x 22 x 20.5 in), which gives you enough X-axis reach to handle longer parts that exceed the 762-1,050 mm range of typical 40-taper VMCs. The table measures 1,250 x 560 mm (49.2 x 22 in) with a maximum load capacity of 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs). Rapid traverse rates hit 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y, and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z, which is competitive with machines from Mazak and Okuma in this class.

The standard spindle is an HSK-A63 direct-drive unit at 12,000 RPM with 118 Nm / 52.5 Nm (87 / 38.7 ft-lbf) of torque. Hyundai WIA offers 8,000, 10,000, 15,000, and 20,000 RPM spindle speed options to match your primary material. The HSK-A63 interface provides better rigidity and balance than BT40 at high speeds, which is why Hyundai WIA chose it as standard rather than the more common CT/BT40. The 30-tool magazine (40-tool optional) uses a servo-driven arm-type ATC for fast tool changes.

Linear roller guideways on all axes deliver smooth, fast motion with low friction and long service life. The Fanuc i-Series CNC control is industry-standard and familiar to operators worldwide. Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is available for shops looking to reduce coolant consumption and disposal costs. At its price point, the KF5600 undercuts comparable VMCs from Mazak, Okuma, and DMG Mori by 15-25%, making it an increasingly popular choice for cost-conscious shops that don't want to sacrifice capability.
