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 L4000L Series is the long-bed version of the L4000: 2138 mm (84.2 in) of turning length and 2,200 mm (86.6 in) of Z travel on a 15 in (381 mm) chuck, with a maximum turning diameter of 570 mm (22.4 in).

Everything except the bed matches the shorter machine. The L4000 Series has the same 35 kW (46.9 hp) geared spindle, the same 2,000 rpm limit, the same 330 mm (13 in) of X travel and the same rapids, but turns 1043 mm (41.1 in) long on 1105 mm (43.5 in) of Z. This machine roughly doubles that.

The length is there for rolls, long shafts, cylinder rods and heavy tube. A workpiece that uses the full 2138 mm will bend away from the tool unless it is held along its length, and the headline table carries no tailstock or steady-rest data, so the support arrangement is the first thing to settle with WIA. Spindle torque is 2,450 N·m (1,807.1 ft-lbf). That is sized for roughing large-diameter steel at low speed; at 2,000 rpm the spindle offers little surface speed on thin shafts, which is worth weighing if most of the work is long and slim instead of long and heavy.

Turret and tooling depend on the model. WIA lists 10 stations on the L4000L/LC and 12 on the L4000LM/LMC, with live tools at 4,000 RPM on the LM/LMC only. Z rapid is 20 m/min (787 ipm) and X rapid 16 m/min (630 ipm). If the parts also need milling off the centreline, the L5100LY covers a similar 2070 mm (81.5 in) length with 150 mm (5.9 in) of Y travel and a 21 in (533 mm) chuck.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

2138 mm (84.2 in) of turning length on 2,200 mm (86.6 in) of Z travel
Gear-driven 35 kW (46.9 hp) spindle rated at 2,450 N·m (1,807.1 ft-lbf)
570 mm (22.4 in) turning diameter with a 15 in (381 mm) chuck
L4000LM/LMC models carry 4,000 RPM live tools on a 12-station turret, so keyways and cross holes on a long shaft stay in one setup
Longer turning length than the L5100LY, which lists 2070 mm (81.5 in)

Limitations

Tailstock and steady-rest data are missing from the headline table, although a 2138 mm part cannot be turned without support
2,000 rpm maximum limits surface speed on slim shafts
The L4000L/LC has 10 stations and no live-tool figure; driven tools mean choosing an LM/LMC model
No Y travel is listed, unlike the L5100LY with 150 mm (5.9 in)
Crossing a 2,200 mm (86.6 in) Z stroke at 20 m/min (787 ipm) adds idle time on every tool change made at the far end

Best For

Rolls, long shafts and cylinder rods up to 2138 mm (84.2 in) Heavy tube and pipe work up to 570 mm (22.4 in) in diameter Low-speed roughing that uses 2,450 N·m (1,807.1 ft-lbf) of torque Long parts needing keyways or cross holes, on the L4000LM/LMC

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long a shaft can the L4000L Series turn?

Maximum turning length is 2138 mm (84.2 in) and Z travel is 2,200 mm (86.6 in). Maximum turning diameter is 570 mm (22.4 in) with a 15 in (381 mm) chuck, and X travel is 330 mm (13 in). Work this long needs tailstock or steady-rest support, which the headline table does not describe, so confirm it with WIA.

02 How does the L4000L Series differ from the L4000 Series?

Only in length, as far as the tables show. The L4000 Series turns 1043 mm (41.1 in) on 1105 mm (43.5 in) of Z travel, while the L4000L turns 2138 mm (84.2 in) on 2,200 mm (86.6 in). The spindle, chuck, turning diameter, X travel and rapids carry the same figures.

03 Which L4000L models can mill and drill?

The live-tool row applies to the LM/LMC models only, at 4,000 RPM, and those models have a 12-station turret. The L4000L/LC is listed with 10 stations and no live tools. The tool capacity row reads 10 tools with 12 optional. None of the models lists Y travel.

04 What spindle does the L4000L Series use?

A gear-driven spindle listed at 35 kW (46.9 hp) and 2,450 N·m (1,807.1 ft-lbf), with a maximum speed of 2,000 rpm. It is the same set of figures WIA gives for the shorter L4000 Series.

05 Should I look at the L4000L Series or the L5100LY?

They overlap in length but not in purpose. The L4000L Series turns 2138 mm (84.2 in) with a 15 in (381 mm) chuck and runs to 2,000 rpm. The L5100LY turns 2070 mm (81.5 in) with a 21 in (533 mm) chuck, tops out at 1,500 rpm and adds 150 mm (5.9 in) of Y travel with 4,000 rpm live tools, so it is the choice when off-centre milling is part of the job.
