Huron KX 20 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a 55.1" x 39.4" work table capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 4,410 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine operates on 3 linear axes (X: 47.2", Y: 39.4", Z: 21.7") with a rapid traverse rate of 1,181 inches per minute and a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute, allowing for efficient and precise 3D machining operations. The spindle is vertically oriented with an HSK A63 taper, delivering a continuous power rating of 20 HP (30-minute rating). It operates at a top speed of 15,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 24,000 RPM, facilitating high-speed milling and drilling. Tool handling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) equipped with 20 tool stations, expandable to 30, with a standard tool change time of 6 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 17 seconds, optimizing machining cycle efficiency. The machine’s robust construction and high-capacity spindle, combined with fast axis movements, provide superior rigidity and precision for a wide range of applications including heavy milling, die making, and aerospace part machining. The combination of substantial table size, high spindle power, and automated tooling make the machine ideal for demanding production environments requiring versatility and high throughput.
