Kao Ming FV-30 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust ISO #40 spindle with 8,000 RPM maximum speed and 10 HP standard power (15 HP optional), delivering reliable performance for general-purpose production work. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 1,100 lbs on a 39.3" x 17.7" table, with optional rotary and support index table configurations for enhanced versatility. The three-axis design provides substantial travel distances: 33.4" on the X-axis, 19.7" on the Y-axis, and 20.8" on the Z-axis, all capable of 157 ipm feed rates with rapid traverse speeds reaching 600 ipm. An available 4th B-axis option enables rotary machining capabilities for more complex part geometries. The automatic tool changer stores 20 tools standard (24 tools optional), ensuring efficient production runs with minimal setup time. All three axes feature precision ballscrews and linear guideways that maintain consistent accuracy throughout extended production cycles. The machine's heavy-duty cast iron construction provides excellent vibration damping and thermal stability essential for holding tight tolerances. This mid-size vertical machining center is well-suited for job shops, contract manufacturers, and small-to-medium production facilities requiring reliable performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The combination of adequate power, sufficient travel distances, and flexible tooling capacity makes it an economical solution for diverse machining applications ranging from prototype work to medium-volume production.
