Overview

The Hyundai WIA E160A is a compact 2-axis CNC turning center in the E-series lineup, designed for reliable small-parts production in job shops, training facilities, and multi-machine cells. With a maximum turning diameter of 280 mm (11 in) and turning length of 300 mm (11.8 in), the E160A handles a wider range of part sizes than the base E160 while maintaining a compact footprint.

The belt-driven spindle produces 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) and reaches 6,000 RPM, providing good surface speeds on small-diameter aluminum, stainless, and steel components. Spindle torque of 35.8/70 Nm is adequate for medium-depth cuts on the parts this machine is sized for. The 6-inch chuck and 45-degree slant bed configuration provide efficient chip evacuation and operator accessibility.

A 12-station servo turret with 20/32 mm tooling accepts standard toolholders and indexes rapidly for multi-tool programs. Linear motion guideways on both X and Z axes deliver positioning accuracy and speed, with rapid traverse rates of 30 m/min on both axes. X-axis travel is 165 mm and Z-axis travel is 330 mm, providing adequate stroke for the machine's work envelope.

The E160A runs on the Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control with Manual Guide i conversational programming. At $40,000-$60,000 new, it competes directly with the Haas ST-10, DN Solutions Lynx 2100A, and Okuma LB1000 EX. For shops adding affordable, compact turning capacity with a proven Fanuc platform, the E160A delivers strong value.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12-station turret provides ample tooling capacity for complex multi-tool programs on small parts
6,000 RPM spindle delivers good surface speeds on small-diameter aluminum and stainless components
Compact footprint makes it easy to integrate into tight shop layouts or multi-machine production cells
Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control with Manual Guide i is accessible for new operators while supporting full production programming
30 m/min rapid traverse on both axes minimizes non-cutting time on short-cycle programs
Priced at $40K-$60K, the E160A is one of the most affordable 12-station turning centers from a major manufacturer

Limitations

11 kW spindle power is limited for heavy roughing in steel or stainless — better suited to finishing and medium-depth cuts
6-inch chuck and 280 mm turning diameter restrict the machine to small parts only
No live tooling option in the E-series limits mill-turn capability compared to L-series machines
Hyundai WIA North American service network is smaller than Haas or Mazak dealership coverage

Best For

Small job shops adding a compact, affordable CNC lathe for small-parts production Training facilities and vocational schools needing a reliable Fanuc-controlled turning center for student instruction High-volume production of small-diameter turned components in aluminum, steel, or stainless Second-operation cells where compact footprint and low acquisition cost are prioritized Shops pairing with bar feeders for automated production of small turned components

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the E160A differ from the E160?

The E160A has a larger turning diameter (280 mm vs 260 mm), higher spindle power (11 kW vs 7.5 kW), and a 12-station turret versus the E160's 8-station turret. The E160A is better suited to shops needing more tooling capacity and slightly larger part capability.

02 What does a new Hyundai WIA E160A cost?

New E160A machines typically sell for $40,000-$60,000 depending on options and dealer. Used E160A machines (2015-2022) are available for $20,000-$35,000 depending on age and condition.

03 Is the E160A suitable for production work?

Yes. The 12-station turret, 6,000 RPM spindle, and 30 m/min rapid traverse support efficient cycle times on small parts. It pairs well with standard bar feeders for automated production runs.

04 Does the E160A support live tooling?

No, the E160A is a 2-axis turning center without live tooling capability. For mill-turn operations, consider Hyundai WIA's L-series machines such as the L200MC or L230LMA which offer live tooling and sub-spindle options.
