Kaast PORT-MILL 1800 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kaast PORT-MILL 1800 Vertical Machining Center is a robust, high-performance CNC milling machine engineered for demanding industrial applications. Featuring a massive gantry design and a fixed table measuring 71.000" (L) x 47.000" (W), it provides exceptional stability and support for large, heavy workpieces up to 4,400 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a BT 40 taper, with an optional HSK-A63 taper for enhanced rigidity and tool holding. Spindle speeds reach up to 10,000 RPM standard, with an optional high-speed configuration up to 24,000 RPM, and a 30-minute power rating of 25 HP (15 HP optional), ensuring efficient material removal and precision in a wide range of milling operations. Tooling is managed by a 16-station automatic tool changer (ATC), streamlining production and minimizing downtime. The PORT-MILL 1800 offers three-axis control (X, Y, Z) with generous travel distances of 70.900" (X), 51.200" (Y), and 23.600" (Z), and supports rapid traverse and maximum feed rates of 394 ipm on all axes, enabling fast and accurate machining cycles. The machine’s innovative closed bridge construction and extra-strong linear guides deliver high stability and accuracy, even under heavy milling loads. Designed for flexibility and productivity, the PORT-MILL 1800 is ideal for high-volume and high-precision manufacturing environments.
