Kaast V-MILL 1600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 69.000 inches in length by 27.600 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,840 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a BT 40 taper, with CAT 40 taper as an optional configuration, accommodating a wide range of tooling standards. Spindle speeds reach up to 10,000 RPM as standard, with an optional upgrade to 24,000 RPM for high-speed applications, and delivers 20 HP (30-minute rating) for demanding machining tasks. Tool management is handled by an automatic tool changer (ATC) supporting 24 tools as standard, expandable to 32 tools for increased flexibility. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional fourth axis for enhanced machining capabilities. Axis travels are 63.000 inches on X, 31.500 inches on Y, and 31.500 inches on Z, enabling large work envelope processing. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are 394 ipm and 590 ipm, respectively, across all axes, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. Rotary table support is available as an option, while index table support is not included. The machine is designed for precision and productivity in applications ranging from mold and die work to aerospace and automotive components, with high repeatability and accuracy suitable for complex, high-tolerance machining operations.
