How much does the Hyundai WIA KF5 (High-Speed Type) cost?
Estimated price range
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 KF5 (High-Speed Type) is a 20,000 RPM vertical machining center: a direct-drive HSK-A63 spindle over 800 × 450 × 510 mm (31.5 × 17.7 × 20.1 in) of travel. In the listed figures 20,000 RPM is the only spindle speed given, so there is no slower base spindle and no step-up option to sort out.
That speed decides the work. Small ball-nose and end mills only reach useful surface speeds at high revolutions, which makes this type a finishing and fine-detail machine more than a stock-removal one. No power or torque is listed, a second reason not to assume roughing capacity until the spindle rating has been seen.
The envelope is long and shallow. X travel of 800 mm against 450 mm of Y favours a row of vises or a long plate over a deep fixture, and the table is rated for 600 kg (1,323 lb). Rapid traverse is listed at 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) on linear roller guideways, with ±0.005 mm (±0.0002 in) positioning accuracy and ±0.003 mm (±0.00012 in) repeatability.
Tools change by a servo-driven arm from a 24-tool magazine, and no larger magazine is listed. The control is FANUC 0i-MF Plus and the machine weighs 5,800 kg (12,787 lb). The similarly named KF5/50 is a different machine, with a BBT50 spindle at 8,000 rpm and 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 20,000 RPM direct-drive spindle listed as the base speed for this type
- HSK-A63 spindle interface, suited to high-speed running
- 800 mm (31.5 in) of X travel for long parts or several vises in a row
- ±0.005 mm (±0.0002 in) positioning accuracy and ±0.003 mm (±0.00012 in) repeatability as listed
- Servo-driven arm-type tool changer
Limitations
- Y travel is 450 mm (17.7 in), a little over half the X travel, so deep fixtures do not fit
- The magazine is listed at 24 tools with no larger option shown
- No spindle power or torque appears in the listed figures
- Table load is limited to 600 kg (1,323 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 20,000 RPM as the maximum spindle speed for this type and show no other speed, either lower or optional. The spindle is direct drive with an HSK-A63 interface. Power and torque are not listed.
02
No. The KF5/50 has a BBT50 spindle at 8,000 rpm, 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel and a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) table load. The KF5 (High-Speed Type) is listed with an HSK-A63 spindle at 20,000 RPM, 800 mm (31.5 in) of X and a 600 kg (1,323 lb) table load.
03
Travels are 800 mm (31.5 in) in X, 450 mm (17.7 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. The table carries 600 kg (1,323 lb), fixture included. Table dimensions are not listed, so check them against any fixture plate you plan to move over.
04
The listed control is FANUC 0i-MF Plus. Tools are changed by a servo-driven arm from a 24-tool magazine. The machine itself weighs 5,800 kg (12,787 lb), and rapid traverse is listed at 48 m/min (1,890 ipm).
