Kao Ming FV-60 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a substantial work envelope with a 75.8" × 28.7" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,400 lbs, making it suitable for large-scale production and prototype machining operations. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing an ISO #50 taper, delivering 20 horsepower at a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM, providing robust torque characteristics ideal for heavy material removal and demanding cutting applications. The three-axis system offers travel distances of 60.2" (X-axis), 31.5" (Y-axis), and 27.6" (Z-axis), with consistent maximum feed rates of 393 ipm and rapid traverse rates of 590 ipm across all linear axes, ensuring efficient cycle times and responsive positioning. The machine incorporates an automatic tool changer with a standard capacity of 30 tools, expandable to 40 tools, enabling extended production runs with minimal manual intervention. Optional fourth-axis (B-axis) rotary capability allows for 360° continuous indexing, supporting complex multi-axis machining for intricate geometries and compound angled features. Additional optional equipment includes support index and rotary tables, providing flexibility for specialized fixturing requirements and advanced workholding strategies. The combination of substantial payload capacity, powerful spindle, extensive travels, and quick tool-change capability positions this machine as a versatile production platform suitable for aerospace, automotive, and general industrial machining applications requiring precision and reliability.
