Kaast V-MILL 600.5X VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a BT40 spindle taper designed for medium-duty milling operations, supporting versatile tooling with a 30-tool capacity automatic tool changer. The spindle orientation is vertical, with travel axes configured as X1: 830 mm, Y1: 720 mm, and Z1: 500 mm, providing ample workspace for complex parts. The BT40 spindle interface ensures stability and precision, with a symmetrical taper design and face contact for enhanced rigidity, suitable for spindle speeds up to 12,000 rpm commonly found in similar machines. The table supports workpieces with large X and Y travel, accommodating various sizes and complex machining tasks. The machine lacks a U axis, focusing on three-axis vertical milling. The rapid traverse rates and max feed rates are unspecified but typically designed to match the robust travel dimensions. The tool changer's 30-tool capacity allows efficient machining cycles with minimized downtime. The BT40 taper's robust toolholder design supports high precision through case-hardened construction, tight taper tolerances, and a flange design that increases machining stability. This setup is ideal for medium-to-heavy milling jobs, offering a balance between rigidity, accuracy, and flexibility, used in industries requiring reliable, precise vertical machining for steel, cast iron, and nonferrous metals. Typical spindle power ratings for BT40 machines range from 3.7 kW to over 7.5 kW depending on application, providing sufficient torque and speed for various milling tasks.
