How much does the Hyundai WIA L3000SY Series cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Hyundai WIA. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
Torque is the reason to choose the Hyundai WIA L3000SY Series. Its built-in spindle is listed at 1,262 / 1,003 N·m (930.9 / 739.8 ft-lbf) and 37 / 25 kW (49.6 / 33.5 hp), turning a 12 in (305 mm) chuck at up to 3,000 rpm. The L2600SY Series from the same table has less than half of that torque, 599 / 409 N·m (441.8 / 301.7 ft-lbf).
What the larger spindle does not change is the envelope. Maximum turning diameter stays at 420 mm (16.5 in) and turning length at 760 mm (29.9 in), with 265 mm (10.4 in) of X, 120 mm (4.7 in) of Y and 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z. A buyer moving up from the L2600SY Series gets heavier cuts and a bigger chuck on the same strokes, not room for a bigger part.
The trade is speed. At 3,000 rpm, small-diameter work in aluminium or brass cannot reach an efficient surface speed, and bar-fed parts of modest diameter will cycle slower than on a faster spindle. Large-diameter steel, by contrast, wants exactly this: high torque low in the range for deep roughing passes and big drills on centre.
Milling is handled by 5,000 rpm live tools on a 12-station turret, with Y limited to 120 mm (4.7 in) of stroke and a 10 m/min (394 ipm) Y rapid; X, Z and the ZB axis rapid at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). ZB travel is 830 mm (32.7 in). No ratings are listed for the live tool drive or for anything mounted on ZB.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,262 / 1,003 N·m (930.9 / 739.8 ft-lbf) of spindle torque from a built-in motor
- 37 / 25 kW (49.6 / 33.5 hp) spindle power, against 22 / 15 kW (29.5 / 20.1 hp) on the L2600SY Series
- 12 in (305 mm) chuck on a machine with 760 mm (29.9 in) of turning length
- Live tools to 5,000 rpm with 120 mm (4.7 in) of Y travel
- Same 830 mm (32.7 in) Z travel as the L2600SY Series, so the larger spindle does not shorten the bed
Limitations
- Spindle speed is limited to 3,000 rpm, below the 4,000 rpm of the L2600SY Series and the 5,000 rpm of the L2000SY Series
- Maximum turning diameter is 420 mm (16.5 in), no larger than on the smaller-chuck models
- Y travel of 120 mm (4.7 in) is short relative to a 12 in (305 mm) chuck
- Live tool power and torque are not listed, so milling capacity cannot be judged from the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,262 / 1,003 N·m (930.9 / 739.8 ft-lbf), with 37 / 25 kW (49.6 / 33.5 hp). The motor is built in and the maximum speed is 3,000 rpm. WIA's table gives two values per row without labelling the two ratings.
02
Not in working envelope. Both list 420 mm (16.5 in) maximum turning diameter, 760 mm (29.9 in) turning length and travels of 265 mm (10.4 in), 120 mm (4.7 in) and 830 mm (32.7 in). The L3000SY Series has the larger chuck, 12 in (305 mm) against the 10 in (254 mm) of the L2600SY Series, and the stronger spindle.
03
Speed. The main spindle stops at 3,000 rpm, so small diameters run well below the surface speed carbide tooling prefers in free-cutting materials. The L2000SY Series in the same table reaches 5,000 rpm with an 8 in (203 mm) chuck and is the better fit for that kind of work.
04
Yes, within limits. The 12-station turret carries live tools that run to 5,000 rpm, and the Y axis travels 120 mm (4.7 in) at a rapid rate of 10 m/min (394 ipm). The table lists no live tool power or torque.
05
The table omits bar capacity, the tooling interface of the turret, live tool power, and any figures for what is carried on the 830 mm (32.7 in) ZB axis. It also lists no machine weight or power supply. Get those in writing if the job depends on them.
