Overview

The Hyundai WIA LM1800TT Series is a twin-spindle, twin-turret turning center with an 8 in chuck on both the main spindle and the sub-spindle and a maximum turning diameter of 230 mm (9.1 in). Each turret has 12 stations, giving 2 x 12 (24 total), and the spindle is listed at 5,000 RPM with 22/11 kW (29.5/14.8 hp).

The layout exists to finish a part in one cycle. With an 8 in chuck at each end, the second operation can grip the same diameters the first one turned, and with a turret for each spindle neither side has to wait for the other. That only pays off when the work is balanced: a part with a long first operation and a trivial second one leaves the second turret idle for most of the cycle.

The two sets of axes are not identical. X1 travels 165 mm (6.5 in) and X2 195 mm (7.7 in), while Z1 travels 700 mm (27.6 in) and Z2 720 mm (28.3 in). A further axis, ZB, has 668 mm (26.3 in). Rapid traverse is 20 m/min on X1 and X2 and 40 m/min on Z1, Z2 and ZB, so the long moves between the two spindles are the fast ones.

Driven tooling is not common to the whole series. Hyundai WIA lists a live tool speed of 5,000 RPM for the TTMS and TTSY variants, so confirm what a given variant carries before quoting parts with cross holes or flats. The LM1800TTSY, covered on its own page, has a Y axis that rapids at 7.5 m/min (295 ipm), a 673 mm (26.5 in) maximum turning length and 358 / 118 N·m (264.1 / 87 ft-lbf) of spindle torque. The series table itself gives no torque and no turning length.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two 12-station turrets, 2 x 12 (24 total), so each spindle has its own set of tools
8 in chucks on both the main spindle and the sub-spindle, letting the second operation hold what the first one turned
40 m/min rapids on Z1, Z2 and ZB, with 20 m/min on X1 and X2
5,000 RPM spindle with 22/11 kW (29.5/14.8 hp) on a 230 mm (9.1 in) turning diameter
5,000 RPM live tooling on the TTMS and TTSY variants

Limitations

Maximum turning diameter is 230 mm (9.1 in); the LM2500TTSY II is listed at 390 mm (15.4 in)
Live tool speed is listed for the TTMS and TTSY variants only, so driven tooling has to be confirmed model by model
X1 travel is 165 mm (6.5 in) against 195 mm (7.7 in) on X2, so tool reach is not the same on both sets of axes
The series table gives no spindle torque, turning length or bar capacity

Best For

Shafts, fittings and flanges up to 230 mm (9.1 in) that need both ends machined Balanced two-operation parts split across two 12-station turrets Done-in-one transfer work between 8 in main and sub-spindle chucks Drilled and milled features on the TTMS and TTSY variants at 5,000 RPM

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of part does the LM1800TT Series turn?

Maximum turning diameter is 230 mm (9.1 in), with an 8 in chuck on the main spindle and another on the sub-spindle. Z1 travel is 700 mm (27.6 in) and Z2 travel 720 mm (28.3 in). The series table does not state a maximum turning length; the LM1800TTSY variant is listed at 673 mm (26.5 in).

02 How many tools does the LM1800TT Series hold?

Each of the two turrets has 12 stations, which Hyundai WIA lists as 2 x 12 (24 total). Because each turret serves a spindle, the practical question is how the tools divide between the first and second operation, rather than the total alone.

03 Does the LM1800TT Series have live tooling?

Not on every variant. The table lists a live tool speed of 5,000 RPM for the TTMS and TTSY variants. If a part needs cross drilling, flats or keyways, specify one of those variants, and note that the LM1800TTSY also has a Y axis that rapids at 7.5 m/min (295 ipm).

04 What are the axis travels and rapid rates of the LM1800TT Series?

X1 travels 165 mm (6.5 in), X2 195 mm (7.7 in), Z1 700 mm (27.6 in), Z2 720 mm (28.3 in) and ZB 668 mm (26.3 in). Rapid traverse is 20 m/min on X1 and X2 and 40 m/min on Z1, Z2 and ZB.

05 How does the LM1800TT Series compare with the LM2500TTSY II?

The LM2500TTSY II is the larger machine: a 390 mm (15.4 in) turning diameter, a 10 in (254 mm) chuck, 900 mm (35.4 in) of turning length and 2×24 (BMT65) tools. The LM1800TT Series stays at 230 mm (9.1 in) with 8 in chucks and 2 x 12 stations, and its spindle runs to 5,000 RPM.
