Hyundai Multitasking Turning Center

Hyundai WIA announces an all new series of twin-spindle, multitasking CNC turning centers, the LM1600/1800TT. With upper and lower turrets and available Y-axis and C-axis, processing of complex parts in volume production runs, the new series is really four machines in one—two lathes and two mills. These new turning centers feature high power, built-in spindle motors and upper and lower turrets for high productivity. Precise synchronized facing twin spindles reduce idle time and BMT-type turrets guarantee accuracy and power.

Benefits of the LM1600/1700 TT include compressing lead times from days to hours, and reducing lot sizes with no cost penalty—lots as small as one piece can be done efficiently and cost-effectively. The Hyundai WIA LM1600/1800 TT also slashes non-value added time—fewer fixtures, tools, and far less labor. It also improves part accuracy by reducing tolerance stack ups between multiple fixturings.

Finally, the LM1600/1800TT reduces shop burden—fewer machine tools, reduced floor space, and more cost-effective use of utilities. You can also run untended—one operator can run several machines, or you can run an entire third shift untended—which increases cutting time without the attendant labor costs.
