The Hyundai Wia HS5000i is a high-speed CNC horizontal machining center with a reputation for rigid, dependable cutting that has made it a staple in automotive, aerospace, and high-mix production shops. This 2015 unit is a 4-axis HMC with two 500 mm x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 inch) pallets on an automatic pallet changer, each rated for 1,102 lbs, and a B-axis rotary indexing table with 0.001 degree resolution for true multi-face machining. Travels are X 33.5 / Y 27.6 / Z 29.5 inches, with a table-to-spindle range of 5.9 to 35.4 inches and a maximum work envelope of 30.7 inch diameter x 38.6 inch height. The built-in 12,000 RPM #40 taper Big Plus spindle is rated at 33 HP with 123.1 lbf-ft of torque, and 1,968 IPM rapid traverse on X, Y, and Z keeps non-cut time short. An 80-tool chain-type ATC handles tools up to 3 inch diameter with adjacent pockets full, 5.5 inch with adjacent pockets empty, 17.7 inch length, and 17.6 lbs, with a 1.1 second tool-to-tool change. Control is a Fanuc Series 32i-Model B with expanded memory, HRV3 high-speed servo control, AI contour control, helical interpolation, rigid tapping, Custom Macro B, and background edit. The machine is equipped with 1,000 PSI high-pressure coolant through the spindle and a chip conveyor, and weighs approximately 33,069 lbs.
Where Hyundai WIA's box-way KH50G 500 mm HMC is built around an 8,000 RPM two-speed geared head and 787 IPM rapids for heavy roughing, the HS5000i is the high-speed platform in the lineup: a built-in 12,000 RPM Big Plus spindle for dual-contact tool rigidity, 50 m/min (1,968 IPM) rapids on all three axes, and a 1.1 second tool-to-tool change that cuts cycle time on the short, feature-dense operations that dominate HMC work. The Fanuc 32i-Model B control with HRV3 and AI contour control delivers smooth high-feed contouring, while the 0.001 degree B-axis and twin-pallet APC turn a single setup into complete multi-face parts. For shops upgrading from older geared-head or vertical equipment, the HS5000i is a faster, more automation-ready HMC.
