Kaast VF-B 10.5 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 39.000 inches in length by 20.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,540 lbs. An optional index or rotary table can be added for enhanced versatility in complex setups. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a BT#40 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 15.00 HP, ensuring high performance for demanding milling operations. Tooling is managed by a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC) with a rapid tool change time of just 3.00 seconds, significantly reducing non-cutting time and increasing productivity. A pallet changer is available as an option for further automation. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with the option to expand to four axes for more intricate machining tasks. Axis travels are 33.000 inches (X), 20.000 inches (Y), and 21.000 inches (Z), each supporting a maximum feed rate of 500 IPM and a rapid traverse rate of 1,170 IPM, enabling swift and precise movements for efficient material removal and accurate part production. This configuration makes the machine suitable for a wide range of applications, from high-speed milling to heavy-duty cutting, providing flexibility, speed, and reliability in various manufacturing environments.
