Hyundai WIA announces the LV1400 Ram-Type CNC Vertical Turning Center, which is ideal for turning and boring very large, heavy parts for the energy, power generation, construction, and off-road vehicle industries. The C-axis rotating 50hp table is capable of 500rpm and can support a load of more than 13,000 lb. The rigid, stable platform is designed for heavy duty cutting, and a single piece, square-type column offers ultimate stability.
Bed Structure
The bed, column, and saddle of Hyundai WIA’s LV1400 are designed using finite element analysis to ensure powerful cutting and agility, and are composed of meehanite cast iron to minimize deformation when performing heavy-duty cuts. The rigid 49.2” diameter table is designed to absorb vibration for stable machining. In order to eliminate thermal growth during machining, all axes are driven by high precision double-nut ball screws. The double pretension design provides outstanding positioning and repeatability with virtually no thermal growth. All ball screws 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 axes. This reduces non-cutting time and decreases machining time for greater productivity.
Ram Head
The LV1400 Ram-Type Vertical Turning Center excels at handling very large parts with clearance issues. X-axis travel is -2” to 43.3”. Z-axis travel is 31.5”. Feed rates of the X-axis and Z-axis are 1m per minute to 8m per minute. Tool clamping is achieved via curvic coupling and hydraulic motor. A 12-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) is standard.
Motor Power
Main motor for the C-axis table drive is 50hp. Ram head X-axis and Z-axis motors are 5.4hp.
Control
The all new LV1400 is easy to program and operate with the Fanuc 21i-TB Series CNC control featuring a 10.4” color LCD with Manual Guide. As the industry’s most popular control, Fanuc offers compatibility and reliability. LV1400 Ram-Type Vertical Turning Center from Hyundai WIA is ideal for the precise cutting and boring of oil, gas and power generation components and other applications that demand handling extremely heavy cylindrical parts in sometimes remarkably harsh production environments.
