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 L300A is an X/Z turning center built around a gear-driven spindle: a 10 in (254 mm) chuck, 500 mm (19.7 in) of maximum turning diameter and 720 mm (28.3 in) of turning length. WIA's table gives no live-tool speed for this model, so read it as a straight turning machine.

The spindle row is what sets it apart inside the L300 family. The drive is listed as GEAR, and torque is printed as 739 / 622 N·m (545.1 / 458.8 ft-lbf) from a 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp) motor. The L300LMA carries the same motor figures but lists 493.4 / 414.9 N·m (363.9 / 306 ft-lbf), so the L300A turns the same power into about 50% more torque at the chuck. That is what roughing a large steel diameter asks for, because the surface speed is reached at low rpm and the cut then leans on torque. Top speed is 3,600 rpm.

Z travel is 750 mm (29.5 in) against the 720 mm turning length, so nearly the whole stroke is usable on the part, and X travel is 290 mm (11.4 in). The L300MC shares the 500 mm diameter and the Z travel but takes a 12 in (305 mm) chuck, has 355 mm (14 in) of X and turns only 600 mm (23.6 in) long.

The turret has 12 stations, and rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) on Z. One thing to settle with WIA before ordering: power and torque are both printed as pairs without a label, so ask which figure is the continuous rating and size long roughing cuts around that one.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Gear-driven spindle listed at 739 / 622 N·m (545.1 / 458.8 ft-lbf), the kind of torque heavy roughing at low rpm needs
500 mm (19.7 in) maximum turning diameter on a 10 in (254 mm) chuck machine
720 mm (28.3 in) of turning length inside 750 mm (29.5 in) of Z travel
3,600 rpm top speed, above the 3,500 rpm of the L300LMA and the 3,000 rpm of the L300MC
12-station turret with rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) on Z

Limitations

No live-tool speed is listed for the L300A, while the L300LMA and L300MC both list 4,000 rpm live tools
Turning length stops at 720 mm (28.3 in); the L300LMA reaches 1280 mm (50.4 in)
X travel of 290 mm (11.4 in) is shorter than the 355 mm (14 in) of the L300MC
Power and torque are printed as unlabelled pairs, 22 / 18.5 kW and 739 / 622 N·m, so the continuous rating has to be confirmed

Best For

Heavy roughing of steel shafts and flanges at low spindle speed Chucked parts up to 500 mm (19.7 in) in diameter Shaft work up to 720 mm (28.3 in) long Straight turning jobs that need no live tooling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the L300A and the L300LMA?

The L300A is the shorter, gear-driven machine: 720 mm (28.3 in) of turning length, 500 mm (19.7 in) of turning diameter and 739 / 622 N·m (545.1 / 458.8 ft-lbf) of spindle torque. The L300LMA turns 1280 mm (50.4 in) long and 410 mm (16.1 in) in diameter, lists 493.4 / 414.9 N·m (363.9 / 306 ft-lbf) and adds live tools at 4,000 rpm. Both have a 10 in (254 mm) chuck and 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp).

02 How does the L300A compare with the L300MC?

Both turn 500 mm (19.7 in) in diameter with 750 mm (29.5 in) of Z travel. The L300A has a 10 in (254 mm) chuck, 720 mm (28.3 in) of turning length and a 3,600 rpm spindle. The L300MC has a 12 in (305 mm) chuck, 600 mm (23.6 in) of turning length, a 3,000 rpm spindle, 355 mm (14 in) of X travel and live tools at 4,000 rpm.

03 How much torque does the L300A spindle have?

WIA lists 739 / 622 N·m (545.1 / 458.8 ft-lbf) through a gear drive, with motor power of 22 / 18.5 kW (29.5 / 24.8 hp) and a top speed of 3,600 rpm. The table does not label the two figures of each pair, so confirm which is the continuous rating before planning long roughing cuts.

04 Does the L300A have live tooling?

WIA's table for the L300A gives no live-tool speed. The L300LMA and the L300MC rows both list live tools at 4,000 rpm, so a part that needs cross drilling or milled flats points to one of those two machines instead.

05 What are the travels and rapid rates of the L300A?

X travel is 290 mm (11.4 in) and Z travel is 750 mm (29.5 in). Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) on Z. Maximum turning length is 720 mm (28.3 in), so almost all of the Z stroke can be used on the workpiece.
