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 L400A is a large box-way turning center: the listed figures give a 15 in (380 mm) chuck, 610 mm (24 in) of maximum turning diameter and 1,500 mm (59 in) of turning length. It does not appear in Hyundai WIA's current lineup and may be an older model, so check the listed figures against the machine itself when one comes up used.

Capacity is the headline. Swing over the bed is 900 mm (35.4 in) and bar capacity is 105 mm (4.1 in), which opens the machine to large bar and tube as well as chucked forgings. The spindle is listed at 3,500 RPM with a 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) motor on an A2-8 nose. No torque figure is given, and on a lathe of this size torque at low speed decides how deep a roughing cut can go, so that is the first number to look for in the machine's manual.

The guideways are hardened and ground box ways, the turret is a 12-station BMT type, and rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm). At 10,500 kg (23,150 lb) the machine needs a proper foundation and a rigging plan. Box ways and that mass suit long, heavy cuts in steel and interrupted cuts on castings; they are not what makes a short-cycle production cell quick.

The listed table has no live-tool or Y-axis rows. The L400MA is listed with the same 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) but a 12 in chuck and a 460 mm (18.1 in) turning diameter.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

610 mm (24 in) of turning diameter and 1,500 mm (59 in) of turning length
105 mm (4.1 in) bar capacity for large bar and tube
Hardened and ground box ways on a 10,500 kg (23,150 lb) machine
30/22 kW (40/30 hp) spindle motor on an A2-8 nose
12-station BMT turret with a 900 mm (35.4 in) swing over the bed

Limitations

Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm), slow across a 1,500 mm (59 in) turning length
No live-tool or Y-axis row in the listed table
No spindle torque figure is listed for a machine whose work depends on it
10,500 kg (23,150 lb) and a 900 mm (35.4 in) swing call for floor space, foundation and crane access

Best For

Long shafts up to 1,500 mm (59 in) and 610 mm (24 in) in diameter Large bar and tube up to 105 mm (4.1 in) through the spindle Heavy roughing in steel on box ways Castings and forgings with interrupted cuts

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the capacity of the Hyundai WIA L400A?

The listed figures are 610 mm (24 in) of maximum turning diameter, 1,500 mm (59 in) of maximum turning length, 900 mm (35.4 in) of swing over the bed and 105 mm (4.1 in) of bar capacity, with a 15 in (380 mm) chuck.

02 What spindle is fitted to the L400A?

The listed spindle runs to 3,500 RPM with a 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) motor and an A2-8 nose. The table gives no torque figure and does not say which power figure is continuous, so take both from the machine's own documentation.

03 Does the L400A use box ways or linear guides?

The listed guideway type is hardened and ground box ways. Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm) and machine weight is 10,500 kg (23,150 lb), figures that fit a machine built for heavy cutting more than for fast positioning.

04 How does the L400A compare with the L400MA?

Both are listed with 30/22 kW (40/30 hp). The L400A has the larger capacity on the listed figures, a 15 in (380 mm) chuck and 610 mm (24 in) of turning diameter, where the L400MA is listed with a 12 in chuck and 460 mm (18.1 in). The L400MA table also shows an optional Y axis; the L400A table has no Y-axis row.
