Kaast V-MILL 850 B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a vertical spindle with a BT40 taper, optionally available as CAT40, delivering up to 8,000 RPM standard and 10,000 RPM optionally. It is powered by a 10 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, ensuring robust performance. The 3-axis configuration (expandable to 4 axes) offers travels of 32" (X), 20" (Y), and 22" (Z) with a maximum feed rate of 394 inches per minute and rapid traverse capability of 945 inches per minute. The worktable measures 39.4" x 19.7", supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 1,100 lbs, designed for substantial machining tasks. Tool management is handled via an automatic tool changer (ATC) accommodating 20 tools, with an optional 24-tool capacity. No pallet changer or support index table is included, though a support rotary table can be optionally integrated for enhanced workpiece positioning. The spindle’s BT40 taper provides symmetrical balance and stability at high speeds, superior to CAT40 in stability due to its symmetrical design and metric pull studs, enhancing precision during high-speed machining operations. The rapid traverse and feed rates ensure efficient material removal and cycle times. This machine is suited for high-precision vertical milling operations requiring stable tooling performance and the capacity to handle heavy workpieces and large travel ranges efficiently.
