Kaast TWIN-MILL T 1000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a robust 47.2" x 23.6" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,760 lbs, ideal for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine operates on a 3-axis system with optional 4-axis capability, providing travels of 39.4" (X), 23.6" (Y), and 19.7" (Z) at a maximum feed rate of 394 IPM and rapid traverse up to 945 IPM, ensuring efficient and precise positioning. The vertical spindle supports BT40 taper tooling as standard with CAT40 as an optional configuration, delivering up to 8,000 RPM and a 15 HP, 30-minute rating motor, suited for a wide range of cutting applications requiring consistent power and speed. Tool management includes a 24-position automatic tool changer (ATC) and a standard two-pallet changer system, facilitating continuous machining and reduced downtime. The spindle’s BT40 taper provides symmetrical balance and stability at high speeds, enhancing machining accuracy and tool life. The machine’s construction lacks an indexed rotary table by default but offers that as an option to increase versatility for complex part geometries. This combination of table size, power, precision, and tooling flexibility makes the machine well-suited for versatile manufacturing environments requiring heavy workpiece support with efficient tool handling and reliable spindle performance.
