KAAST AXIOM 800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KAAST AXIOM 800 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center engineered for large-scale turning and milling operations. Featuring a generous 63-inch maximum turning diameter and 59-inch turning length capacity, this machine accommodates substantial workpieces requiring precision machining. The system incorporates dual main spindles, each delivering 40 horsepower at 400 RPM, optimized for powerful stock removal and heavy cutting applications. The 40-inch chuck diameter provides robust workholding capabilities for demanding turning operations. The machine utilizes a versatile 4/8/12-station tool carrier with capacity for up to 12 turning tools, enabling efficient tool changes and multi-operation programming. With three controlled axes—X, Y, and Z—the machine offers 32 inches of X-axis travel, 59 inches of Z-axis travel, and consistent rapid traverse rates of 197 ipm across all axes, supporting productivity-focused production runs. The maximum feed rates of 197 ipm enable balanced cutting speeds for various material types and tool geometries. Single simultaneous cutting tool capability allows focused material removal with precision. This configuration positions the AXIOM 800 as an ideal platform for manufacturing facilities requiring high-capacity horizontal machining with powerful spindle performance, suitable for aerospace, automotive, and industrial component production where part size and cutting demands exceed standard machining center capabilities.
