Kaast PORT-MILL 1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a **33" x 24" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **2,640 lbs**, offering a robust platform for heavy-duty machining. It operates on a **3-axis system** with travels of **39.4" (X), 23.6" (Y), and 19.7" (Z)**, each axis capable of a maximum feed and rapid traverse rate of **394 inches per minute**, enabling swift and precise positioning. The vertical spindle is equipped with a **BT 40 taper**, optionally upgradeable to **HSK-A63**, and operates at a standard top speed of **10,000 RPM**, with an option for high-speed up to **24,000 RPM**. The spindle motor is rated at **25 HP (30-minute rating)** with an optional **15 HP** variant, providing ample power for complex and demanding milling tasks. Tool management is facilitated by a **16-position automatic tool changer (ATC)**, supporting a variety of tooling for versatile machining operations. There is no rotary table or pallet changer included, making it optimized for straightforward 3-axis machining applications. The absence of a U-axis indicates no additional rotary or tilt movement beyond the primary three linear axes. Designed for precision milling of medium to large-sized parts, this CNC machine balances power, speed, and capacity, ideal for industries requiring heavy workpiece handling and high spindle speeds for fine finishes and efficient material removal. Its specifications support a wide range of materials and complex machining processes, ensuring adaptability in production environments requiring rigidity, precision, and throughput.
