Kaast VF-B 14.6 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust vertical spindle with a BT#40 taper, delivering 15 HP (30-minute rating) and a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM for high-performance machining. The worktable measures 56.000 inches in length by 23.000 inches in width, supporting workpieces up to 2,200 lbs, ensuring stability for heavy-duty applications. The machine is equipped with a 24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling rapid tool changes in just 1.2 seconds for increased productivity. Optional support for index and rotary tables provides flexibility for complex part setups. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional fourth axis for enhanced machining capability. Axis travels are 51.000 inches (X), 27.000 inches (Y), and 25.500 inches (Z), accommodating a wide range of part sizes. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are both 500 inches per minute and 936 inches per minute, respectively, across all axes, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. The system supports pallet changers as an optional feature for unattended operation. This configuration is ideal for precision milling tasks in industries requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and versatility, such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making.
