Overview

The Hyundai WIA KF5700B II Series is a BBT40 vertical machining center with 1,100 × 570 × 520 mm (43.3 × 22.4 × 20.5 in) travels and a spindle that comes two ways: 8,000 rpm as standard or 12,000 rpm as an option. The choice changes the character of the machine more than the speed figures alone suggest.

Hyundai WIA lists the standard spindle at 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp) and 286 / 143 N·m (211 / 105.5 ft-lbf). The optional figures are 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp) and 118 / 52.5 N·m (87 / 38.7 ft-lbf). Read alongside the optional 12,000 rpm, the option gives up well over half the torque in exchange for speed. With 286 N·m the standard spindle is the one for large drills, taps and face mills in steel. With 118 N·m the optional one is for smaller cutters run fast.

The table is 1,300 × 570 mm (51.2 × 22.4 in) and carries 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). Rapid traverse is 30 / 30 / 24 m/min (1,181 / 1,181 / 945 ipm) in X, Y and Z, a moderate figure. The KF5/50 covers a similar envelope with a BBT50 spindle and rapids of 36 / 36 / 30 m/min (1,417 / 1,417 / 1,181 ipm).

The magazine holds 30 tools, with 40 as an option. The next size up, the KF6700B II Series, has the same spindle figures with travels of 1,300 × 670 × 635 mm (51.2 × 26.4 × 25 in) and a 1,300 kg (2,866 lb) table load.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Standard BBT40 spindle rated 286 / 143 N·m (211 / 105.5 ft-lbf) and 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp) at up to 8,000 rpm
Optional 12,000 rpm spindle for work that needs speed more than torque
1,300 × 570 mm (51.2 × 22.4 in) table with a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) load rating
Same spindle figures as the larger KF6700B II Series, so nothing is given up in the spindle by choosing the smaller frame
30-tool magazine as standard, 40 tools optional

Limitations

The standard spindle stops at 8,000 rpm; 12,000 rpm is an option
The optional spindle figures show torque of 118 / 52.5 N·m (87 / 38.7 ft-lbf), far below the standard 286 / 143 N·m
Rapids of 30 / 30 / 24 m/min (1,181 / 1,181 / 945 ipm) trail the 36 / 36 / 30 m/min of the KF5/50
Z travel is 520 mm (20.5 in), against 635 mm (25 in) on the KF6700B II Series

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which spindle should I choose on the KF5700B II Series?

It depends on the tools. Hyundai WIA lists the standard spindle at 8,000 rpm, 15 / 11 kW (20.1 / 14.8 hp) and 286 / 143 N·m (211 / 105.5 ft-lbf). The optional figures are 12,000 rpm, 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp) and 118 / 52.5 N·m (87 / 38.7 ft-lbf). Large cutters in steel want the torque of the standard spindle. Small cutters and aluminium want the speed of the option.

02 What are the travels and table size of the KF5700B II Series?

Travels are 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in X, 570 mm (22.4 in) in Y and 520 mm (20.5 in) in Z. The table measures 1,300 × 570 mm (51.2 × 22.4 in) and takes a maximum load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). The table is longer than the X travel.

03 How does the KF5700B II Series differ from the KF6700B II Series?

In size only, going by the listed figures. The KF6700B II Series has travels of 1,300 × 670 × 635 mm (51.2 × 26.4 × 25 in), a 1,500 × 670 mm (59.1 × 26.4 in) table and a 1,300 kg (2,866 lb) load. Spindle speed, power, torque, rapids and tool capacity are the same on both.

04 How many tools does the KF5700B II Series hold?

30 tools as standard, with a 40-tool magazine as an option. The spindle taper is BBT40. Hyundai WIA's series table does not list maximum tool diameter, length or weight, so ask for those limits if you run large face mills or long boring bars.

05 How fast are the axes on the KF5700B II Series?

Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and Y and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z. Those are moderate figures. If positioning time between features dominates your cycle, weigh that against the torque of the standard spindle.
