KAAST AXIOM 1000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KAAST AXIOM 1000 is a robust horizontal machining center designed for large-diameter turning tasks, offering a maximum spindle turning diameter of 79 inches and a turning length of up to 59 inches. It features a heavy-duty main spindle with a 50-inch chuck diameter, capable of operating at up to 400 RPM and powered by a 70 HP motor, supporting both spindle 1 and spindle 2 configurations. The machine supports up to 12 tools on its primary tool carrier, available in 4, 8, or 12 stations, although simultaneous cutting is limited to a single tool. It operates on a 2-axis system with an X-axis travel of 39 inches and a Z-axis travel of 59 inches. Both axes offer maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds of 197 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and part handling. This configuration suits large workpieces requiring substantial turning capacity with moderate spindle speed, high power output, and a comprehensive tooling option for diverse machining operations. The KAAST AXIOM 1000 balances heavy machining capabilities with precise control over long travel distances, making it suitable for industries such as aerospace and heavy equipment manufacturing where large, complex parts are common.
