Kao Ming FV-40P VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a precision-engineered design optimized for mid-range production work. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 2,200 lbs on a 51.2" × 21.5" work table, with optional support for index and rotary tables to expand application versatility. The vertical spindle operates at a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM with a #40 taper and delivers 20 HP at a 30-minute rating, providing robust cutting power for various materials. The 24-position automatic tool changer enables rapid tool changes, minimizing cycle time during production runs. The three-axis configuration provides substantial travel ranges: 43.3" on the X-axis, 22" on the Y-axis, and 25.1" on the Z-axis, with maximum rapid traverse rates of 708 IPM across all axes and programmable feed rates up to 393 IPM. An optional fourth axis (B-axis with 360° rotation capability) enables complex multi-directional machining for advanced part geometries. This machine is well-suited for aerospace components, automotive parts, mold and die work, and general production applications requiring consistent accuracy and reliability in a compact footprint. The combination of spindle power, travel capacity, and rapid traverse rates positions this as an efficient solution for shops requiring dependable mid-size vertical machining capabilities.
