Hyundai WIA has announced the release of their FD Series of CNC vertical machining centres, which have been developed for high production environments with an integrated dual pallet configuration.

The FD Series range includes the F410D (travels: 22.4” X-axis, 16” Y-axis, 23” Z-axis), F500D (travels: 23.6” X-axis, 18” Y-axis, 22.4” Z-axis) and the F600D (travels: 31.5” X-axis, 23.6” Y-axis, 23.6” Z-axis). Standard features include: a 24-tool (30-tool optional) swing arm tool changer, thru spindle coolant-and rigid tapping.

Moving Column/Indexing Table

Rigidity is delivered through the unique traveling column design on FD Series machines. The table and work piece remain stationary during machining, providing uniform loads to the guideways, ballscrews and the spindle motor. Furthermore the enlarged width of the column minimizes heat distortion within the casting, increases the machine’s accuracy.

Bed Structure

The bed, column and saddle of Hyundai WIA’s FD Series are designed using finite element analysis (FEA) to ensure powerful cutting and agility and are composed of Meehanite cast iron to minimize deformation when performing heavy-duty cuts. The rigid bed is designed to absorb vibration for stable machining.

Main Spindle

The FD Series can be configured with a 10,000 rpm spindle or with a 12,000 rpm spindle for high-speed precision applications. Ultra precision class angular bearings provide high speed accel/decel for smooth machining at high rpm’s.  The main spindle delivers minimal vibration at the highest cutting speeds making for stable machining and minimized thermal transmission.

ATC and Magazine

Hyundai WIA’s FD Series machining centres are outfitted with 24-tool (30-tool optional), side mount swing arm type tool changers. The 24-tool swing arm automatic tool changer and magazine are separated by a shutter system, which closes during machining, keeping chips and fluids clear of the ATC and magazine.  When a tool change is required, machining stops, the shutter opens, the ATC exchanges old tool for new, the shutter door then closes and machining begins again.

Control

Hyundai WIA’s FD Series machining centres use start-of-the-art Fanuc i-Series CNC control featuring a 10.4” color LCD with Manual Guide i. A Siemens 825D control is also available.

Hyundai WIA is a core division of the Hyundai Motor Group and is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea.
