Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Hyundai WIA. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Hyundai WIA L250A is a 10 in (250 mm) chuck turning center with a listed maximum turning diameter of 400 mm (15.7 in) and a turning length of 550 mm (21.7 in). Hyundai WIA's current lineup does not include it, so it may be an older model; the figures here are the listed ones and are worth confirming on the machine.

Its place is between the small bar lathes and the heavy box-way machines. The spindle is listed at 5,000 RPM with an 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) motor on an A2-6 nose, and bar capacity is 71 mm (2.8 in). The smaller L200A is listed with an 8 in (200 mm) chuck, 65 mm (2.56 in) of bar capacity and 15/11 kW (20/15 hp) at 5,500 RPM, so the L250A gives up a little speed for a larger bar and more power.

The structure is on the fast side: linear guides, a 12-station BMT turret and a listed rapid traverse of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm). That combination favours short cycles on medium-size parts. For the heaviest interrupted cuts, box ways are the usual choice, and this table does not list them. Machine weight is 5,000 kg (11,025 lb) and swing over the bed is 680 mm (26.8 in).

No live-tool, Y-axis or sub-spindle rows appear in the table, so plan on turning only unless the machine being inspected proves otherwise. No spindle torque is listed either.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) spindle motor at 5,000 RPM on an A2-6 nose
71 mm (2.8 in) bar capacity, above the 65 mm (2.56 in) listed for the L200A
10 in (250 mm) chuck with 400 mm (15.7 in) of turning diameter
Linear guides and a 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) rapid traverse for short cycles
12-station BMT turret on a 5,000 kg (11,025 lb) machine with 680 mm (26.8 in) of swing over the bed

Limitations

Turning length is 550 mm (21.7 in), which rules out longer shaft work
No live-tool or Y-axis row in the listed table
Rapid traverse of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) is below the 45 m/min (1,772 ipm) listed for the L200A
No spindle torque figure is listed, so low-speed roughing capacity cannot be read from the table

Best For

Bar work up to 71 mm (2.8 in) in diameter Medium chucked parts within 400 mm (15.7 in) of turning diameter Production turning of parts up to 550 mm (21.7 in) long General steel turning with 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) on the spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size work does the Hyundai WIA L250A handle?

The listed figures are a 10 in (250 mm) chuck, 400 mm (15.7 in) of maximum turning diameter, 550 mm (21.7 in) of maximum turning length and 71 mm (2.8 in) of bar capacity. Swing over the bed is 680 mm (26.8 in).

02 What are the spindle specifications of the L250A?

The spindle is listed at 5,000 RPM with an 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) motor and an A2-6 spindle nose. The table gives no torque figure, so confirm low-speed capacity from the machine's own documentation.

03 How does the L250A differ from the L200A?

On the listed figures the L250A is the larger machine: a 10 in (250 mm) chuck, 71 mm (2.8 in) of bar capacity and 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) at 5,000 RPM. The L200A is listed with an 8 in (200 mm) chuck, 65 mm (2.56 in) of bar capacity and 15/11 kW (20/15 hp) at 5,500 RPM, and a faster rapid of 45 m/min (1,772 ipm).

04 How heavy is the L250A and what guideways does it use?

Machine weight is listed at 5,000 kg (11,025 lb). The axes run on linear guides, with a rapid traverse of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), and the turret is a 12-station BMT type.
