Technical Description
The Kaast V-MILL 2000 Vertical Machining Center is a heavy-duty, high-performance CNC milling machine designed for precision and large workpiece capacity. Its robust worktable measures 86.6" by 33.5", supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 5,500 lbs without support indexing, with an optional rotary table available. The machine features a vertical spindle with a BT40 taper, optionally CAT40, capable of reaching speeds up to 10,000 RPM standard, with a high-speed option up to 24,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. It employs a 24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with an optional expansion to 32 tools, facilitating efficient multi-tool operations without manual intervention.
The V-MILL 2000 operates on 3 axes, with an option for 4 axes, delivering travels of 78.8" in X, 35.4" in Y, and 31.5" in Z axis respectively. Its maximum feed rate is 394 inches per minute across all axes with rapid traverse speeds of 590 inches per minute, allowing for high-speed machining with excellent precision and throughput. The machine utilizes belt or gear-driven spindle transmissions depending on configuration, offering versatility for both high-speed cutting and heavy material removal. Standard features include rigid box ways for enhanced structural rigidity, full guarding, automatic lubrication, and coolant-through spindle capabilities up to 70 bar pressure, supporting versatile milling, drilling, and tapping operations. This machine is engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring large-scale, accurate machining with flexible tooling and spindle options.
