Kaast V-MILL 1000 L VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical CNC machining center features a robust work table measuring 47.2 inches long by 19.7 inches wide, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,100 lbs. The machine is equipped with a BT 40 spindle taper as standard, with CAT 40 available as an option, reflecting industry-standard tooling compatibility. The spindle operates at a top speed of 8,000 RPM (expandable to 10,000 RPM), driven by a 10 HP motor rated for 30-minute continuous duty. The automatic tool changer (ATC) holds 20 cutting tools in the standard configuration, with expansion to 30 tools available, enabling efficient production workflows without manual tool changes. The machine operates on three primary axes—X, Y, and Z—with optional four-axis capability, providing 40 inches of X-travel, 20 inches of Y-travel, and 22 inches of Z-travel. All axes achieve a maximum feed rate of 394 ipm and rapid traverse speeds of 1,417 ipm, delivering high productivity for precision machining operations. The BT 40 spindle taper ensures superior balance and stability at high speeds compared to alternative tooling standards, making it well-suited for demanding applications. An optional rotary table is available for multi-faceted workpiece machining, while the four-axis upgrade enables complex 3D contouring capabilities. This configuration makes the machine suitable for production environments requiring versatile, high-speed machining with extended tool capacity and rapid positioning across multiple axes.
