Overview

The Hyundai WIA LM1800TTSY is a two-spindle, two-turret turning center in which the upper turret carries live tooling and a Y axis and the lower turret is a plain turning turret. It turns up to 230 mm (9.1 in) in diameter and 673 mm (26.5 in) in length on an 8 in (203 mm) chuck, with 2 x 12 tools.

That split between the turrets decides how jobs are planned. Every milled flat, cross hole and off-centre feature has to come from the upper turret, because that is where the 5,000 rpm driven tools and the 100 mm (3.9 in) of Y travel are. The lower turret can rough, bore and thread while the upper one works, but it cannot mill. On parts with a lot of milling the upper turret's 12 stations fill with driven holders first, and the turning tools move down.

Travel is listed as X1/Z1/Y/X2/Z2/A: 165 / 700 / 100 / 195 / 720 / 668 mm (6.5 / 27.6 / 3.9 / 7.7 / 28.3 / 26.3 in). Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X1 and X2, 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on Z1, Z2 and A, and 7.5 m/min (295 ipm) on Y. Y is much the slowest axis, so a program full of short Y repositioning moves will not run at the pace the Z figures suggest.

Main spindle and sub-spindle are both listed at 5,000 RPM, and the spindle drive is built in. The power row reads 22 / 11 kW (29.5 / 14.8 hp) and the torque row 358 / 118 N·m (264.1 / 87 ft-lbf). The table does not say which rating or which spindle each figure belongs to, so settle that with Hyundai WIA before sizing a roughing cut for the second operation. If both turrets need a Y axis, the LM2200TTSYY/TTSYYC lists Y1 on its upper turret and Y2 on its lower.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Y axis with 100 mm (3.9 in) of travel and 5,000 rpm live tooling on the upper turret
Main spindle and sub-spindle both run to 5,000 RPM, so the second operation is not speed-limited against the first
2 x 12 tools across an upper and a lower turret, so one turret can turn while the other mills
40 m/min (1,575 ipm) rapids on Z1, Z2 and A
673 mm (26.5 in) maximum turning length on a 230 mm (9.1 in) turning diameter

Limitations

Only the upper turret has live tooling and a Y axis; the lower turret is listed for turning
Y rapid is 7.5 m/min (295 ipm), far below the 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) of the Z axes
X1 travel is 165 mm (6.5 in) against 195 mm (7.7 in) on X2, so the two X axes do not reach equally
Maximum turning diameter is 230 mm (9.1 in); larger work needs the LM2500TTSY II at 390 mm (15.4 in)

Best For

Turned parts up to 230 mm (9.1 in) with milled flats, keyways or off-centre holes Two-operation parts finished across main and sub-spindle in one setup Shaft work up to 673 mm (26.5 in) of turning length Jobs where the upper turret mills while the lower turret turns

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which turret on the LM1800TTSY has the Y axis and live tools?

The upper turret. Hyundai WIA lists it as 12 stations with live tooling and a Y axis, while the lower turret is listed as 12 stations for turning. Y travel is 100 mm (3.9 in) and live tools run to 5,000 rpm, so all milling and off-centre drilling has to be programmed on the upper turret.

02 What are the axis travels of the LM1800TTSY?

X1/Z1/Y/X2/Z2/A travel is 165 / 700 / 100 / 195 / 720 / 668 mm (6.5 / 27.6 / 3.9 / 7.7 / 28.3 / 26.3 in). Rapid traverse on the same axes is 20 / 40 / 7.5 / 20 / 40 / 40 m/min (787 / 1,575 / 295 / 787 / 1,575 / 1,575 ipm).

03 How fast are the spindles on the LM1800TTSY?

Both the main spindle and the sub-spindle are listed at 5,000 RPM with a built-in drive. Power is given as 22 / 11 kW (29.5 / 14.8 hp) and torque as 358 / 118 N·m (264.1 / 87 ft-lbf). The table does not state which figure belongs to which spindle or rating.

04 What is the largest part the LM1800TTSY can turn?

230 mm (9.1 in) in diameter and 673 mm (26.5 in) in length, held in an 8 in (203 mm) chuck. For larger work the LM2500TTSY II is listed with a 390 mm (15.4 in) turning diameter, 900 mm (35.4 in) turning length and a 10 in (254 mm) chuck.

05 How does the LM1800TTSY differ from the LM2200TTSYY/TTSYYC?

The LM1800TTSY has a Y axis on the upper turret only. The LM2200TTSYY/TTSYYC is listed with a Y1 axis on the upper turret and a Y2 axis on the lower, and with spindle power of 18.5 / 15 kW against 22 / 11 kW (29.5 / 14.8 hp) here. Both carry 2 x 12 tools.
