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

The Hyundai WIA LM1600TT Series is a twin-turret, twin-spindle turning center for small parts: 6 in (150 mm) chucks on both the main and the sub spindle, a maximum turning diameter of 230 mm (9.1 in), and an upper and a lower turret of 12 stations each, 24 in total. Spindle speed is 6,000 RPM with 15/11 kW (20/15 hp).

The table lists two X axes and two Z axes: X1 at 165 mm (6.5 in), X2 at 195 mm (7.7 in), Z1 at 700 mm (27.6 in) and Z2 at 720 mm (28.3 in), plus a ZB axis of 700 mm (27.6 in). With an upper and a lower turret, two tools can be in the cut at the same time, and with a sub spindle the second side of a part can be finished without an operator turning it round. That is how this layout shortens cycles on small parts made in volume.

Rapid traverse is listed as 20/20/40/40/40 m/min for X1/X2/Z1/Z2/ZB, so the long axes move at twice the rate of the cross slides. With Z strokes of 700 mm and more against X strokes of 165 mm and 195 mm, that is where rapid speed saves the most time.

The LM1800TT Series has the same 230 mm (9.1 in) turning diameter and the same rapid rates, and trades speed for power: 5,000 RPM with 22/11 kW (29.5/14.8 hp). The LM1600TT is the faster, lighter spindle of the two. Its table gives no spindle torque, bar capacity or live tool data, and no separate speed or power for the sub spindle.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two 12-station turrets, 24 stations in total, so two tools can cut at once
6 in (150 mm) chucks on both the main spindle and the sub spindle, for machining both ends of a part
6,000 RPM spindle speed, above the 5,000 RPM of the LM1800TT Series
40 m/min rapids on Z1, Z2 and ZB
Z travels of 700 mm (27.6 in) and 720 mm (28.3 in) on a machine with a 230 mm (9.1 in) turning diameter

Limitations

15/11 kW (20/15 hp) spindle power is below the LM1800TT Series, which lists 22/11 kW (29.5/14.8 hp)
Maximum turning diameter is 230 mm (9.1 in) and the chucks are 6 in (150 mm), so this is a small-part machine only
The table lists no Y-axis travel and no live tool speed for this series
Spindle torque and bar capacity are not in the table
X1 and X2 rapids are 20 m/min, half the Z rate

Best For

Volume production of small turned parts up to 230 mm (9.1 in) in diameter Parts finished on both ends using the main and sub spindle Cycle-time reduction by cutting with the upper and lower turret together Small-diameter work that benefits from 6,000 RPM

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many tools does the LM1600TT hold?

24 stations in total: 12 stations on the upper turret and 12 stations on the lower turret. The table does not say which stations, if any, can drive live tools, and gives no live tool speed for this series.

02 What size work does the LM1600TT handle?

Maximum turning diameter is 230 mm (9.1 in). The main chuck and the sub-spindle chuck are both 6 in (150 mm). The table lists no maximum turning length or bar capacity; the Z travels are 700 mm (27.6 in) for Z1 and 720 mm (28.3 in) for Z2.

03 What are the axis travels and rapids of the LM1600TT?

X1 is 165 mm (6.5 in), X2 is 195 mm (7.7 in), Z1 is 700 mm (27.6 in), Z2 is 720 mm (28.3 in) and ZB is 700 mm (27.6 in). Rapid traverse is listed as 20/20/40/40/40 m/min for X1/X2/Z1/Z2/ZB.

04 How does the LM1600TT differ from the LM1800TT?

The spindle. The LM1600TT Series runs to 6,000 RPM with 15/11 kW (20/15 hp); the LM1800TT Series runs to 5,000 RPM with 22/11 kW (29.5/14.8 hp). Both list a 230 mm (9.1 in) maximum turning diameter and the same 20/20/40/40/40 m/min rapids.

05 Does the LM1600TT have a sub spindle?

Yes. The table lists a sub-spindle chuck of 6 in (150 mm), the same size as the main chuck, and a ZB axis with 700 mm (27.6 in) of travel and a 40 m/min rapid. Separate speed and power figures for the sub spindle are not given.
