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 L500A is a heavy box-way turning center. The listed figures give 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of turning length, a 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) spindle on an A2-8 nose and a machine weight of 11,000 kg (24,250 lb). Hyundai WIA's current lineup does not show the model, so it may be an older one, and everything below should be checked against the machine on offer.
Mass and guideways say the most about it. Eleven tonnes on box ways is a bed meant to stay still under a deep cut in steel or an interrupted cut on a casting, and the listed rapid traverse of 20 m/min (787 ipm) is in keeping with that: sliding ways move slower than linear guides and carry load better. Swing over the bed is listed as 40.6 in, so there is room for large jaws and awkward fixtures above the ways.
The turret is a 12-station BMT type. Spindle power is given as a pair, 30/22 kW, without a label for which is continuous, and no torque figure is listed. For a lathe that will be judged on roughing, both gaps matter, and the answers belong in the machine's own manual and spindle chart.
At 1,000 mm the turning length is moderate for a machine of this weight. In WIA's current range the L5100L Series lists 2205 mm (86.8 in) of turning length with 45 / 37 kW (60.3 / 49.6 hp), which is the direction to look if the parts are longer.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Box ways on an 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) machine, a stable base for heavy and interrupted cuts
- 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) spindle motor on an A2-8 nose
- 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of turning length
- 12-station BMT turret, with swing over the bed listed as 40.6 in
Limitations
- Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm), slow for short-cycle work
- No spindle torque figure is listed, and the 30/22 kW pair is not labelled
- Turning length is 1,000 mm (39.4 in); the L5100L Series lists 2205 mm (86.8 in)
- At 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) the machine needs a foundation, rigging and crane access planned in advance

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum turning length is 1,000 mm (39.4 in), and swing over the bed is listed as 40.6 in. Confirm the usable diameter over the cross slide on the machine itself, since that is what limits a long part.
02
The spindle motor is listed at 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) with an A2-8 spindle nose. The table does not say which figure is the continuous rating and gives no torque, so take both from the machine's documentation before planning heavy cuts.
03
The listed guideway type is box ways and the turret is a 12-station BMT type. Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm), a rate typical of sliding ways built for load instead of speed.
04
Machine weight is listed at 11,000 kg (24,250 lb). That is the figure to give the rigger and the foundation engineer, and it is one reason the machine holds a heavy cut steadily.
