Dual-Pallet VMCs



"The FD Series is ideal for small to medium sized job shops, yet capable enough to handle high production environments that run 24/7," said a company spokesperson.

Hyundai WIA's FD Series of CNC VMCs were developed for high production environments and feature an integrated dual pallet configuration. The FD Series range includes the F410D (XYZ travels: 22.4" x 16" x 23"), F500D (XYZ travels: 23.6" x 18" x 22.4") and the F600D (XYZ travels: 31.5" x 23.6" x 23.6"). Standard features include a 24-tool (30-tool optional) swing arm tool changer, thru spindle coolant and rigid tapping.

The FD Series machines feature a traveling column designed for rigidity. The table and workpiece remain stationary during machining, providing uniform loads to the guideways, ballscrews and the spindle motor. The width of the column has been enlarged to help minimize heat distortion within the casting. The dual, automatic 180° indexing pallet is incorporated into the standard design of the machine and is accessible from the front. Because the table remains stationary during cutting, the operator is free to set up on the pallet not in use. Pallet change time is six seconds.

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

To help eliminate thermal growth during machining, all axes are driven by high precision double-nut ballscrews. All ballscrews are connected directly to the servo drive motors without gears or belts, eliminating backlash. Rapid high-speed axis movement is achieved by the use of linear motion guide ways in all three axes. Rapid traverse is 36 m/min in X- and Y-axis and 30 m/min in Z-axis for the F410D.

The FD Series can be configured with a 10,000 RPM spindle or with a 12,000 RPM spindle for high-speed precision applications. According to the company, ultra precision class angular bearings provide high-speed accel/decel for smooth machining at high RPMs and the main spindle delivers minimal noise and vibration even at high cutting speeds. With the use of a hydraulic tool lock system, machining stability has been increased. Spindle motor is 20 to 25 HP with spindle torque rated at 287/143 Nm on the F600D.

Thru spindle coolant is standard on the FD Series. This feature is particularly useful for deep hole drilling where it is necessary to keep chip flow clear of the cutting surface. Thru spindle coolant also helps to increase tool life and decrease cycle time.

Hyundai WIA's FD Series machining centers are outfitted with 24-tool (30-tool optional), side mount swing arm type tool changers. Tool change times are 1.6 seconds tool-to-tool on the F410D and 2.4 seconds tool-to-tool on the F600D.

The tool changer and magazine are separated by a shutter system that closes during machining, thus 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. Maximum tool diameter (OD): 90/150 mm. Tool selection method: Random. Tool weight: 8 kg. Tool length: 300 mm.

Hyundai WIA's FD Series machining centers feature the FANUC i-Series CNC control with a 10.4" color LCD with Manual Guide i. A Siemens 825D control is also available.
