Kaast PORT-MILL 700 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a 33" x 24" table size, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,760 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. It operates with a 3-axis system (X, Y, Z) providing travels of 27.6", 23.6", and 19.7" respectively, each with a maximum and rapid feed rate of 394 inches per minute, enabling efficient material removal and repositioning. The vertical spindle supports BT 40 taper as standard, with HSK-A63 as an optional taper, offering high rigidity and precision tool holding. The spindle runs at up to 10,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 24,000 RPM to accommodate high-speed machining requirements, and is powered by a 25 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty, with an optional 15 HP motor variant. Tool handling is managed by a 16-position automatic tool changer (ATC) to facilitate continuous, multi-tool operations without manual intervention. The configuration lacks additional support for index or rotary tables and does not include a U-axis. This machine is suited for complex milling processes requiring high positional accuracy, rigidity, and throughput, commonly found in aerospace, automotive, and mold making applications, where large, heavy workpieces and a wide range of tooling are needed. Its feed rates and spindle options accommodate various materials and precision levels, optimized for 3-axis milling tasks.
