KAFO KG5A-2232 5-AXIS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KAFO KG5A-2232 is a heavy-duty gantry-type 5-axis CNC vertical machining center engineered for large-scale precision manufacturing of complex workpieces. Featuring a robust double-column design with substantial structural capacity, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 5,500 lbs on a generously sized 82.67" x 122.04" table. The machine delivers extensive machining envelope capabilities with X-axis travel of 86.61", Y-axis travel of 125.98", and Z-axis travel of 43.30", enabling versatile part geometries. The integral A-axis and C-axis milling head provides exceptional angular flexibility with ±105° and ±200° travel respectively, enabling true five-axis simultaneous machining for five-side finished parts in single setups. Powered by a 40 HP spindle drive motor capable of 12,000 RPM with HSKA 100 taper, the machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 787.40 IPM and cutting feed rates of 393.70 IPM across all linear axes. Control is managed by the Heidenhain TNC-640 5-Axis CNC system, ensuring precision and reliability. The machine includes a 32-station automatic tool changer and 3-axis linear roller guide ways for enhanced rigidity and repeatability. With machine dimensions of 324" x 320" x 230" and an approximate weight of 150,000 lbs, this floor-mounted system is suited for production environments requiring high-volume, high-accuracy machining of demanding aerospace, automotive, and industrial components.
