Kao Ming KMC-4000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large worktable measuring 157.48 inches in length by 49.21 inches in width, with an optional width extension of up to 59.05 inches. It supports extremely heavy workpieces up to 17,600 lbs, enabling it to handle large and heavy machining tasks. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 166.53", 90.55", and 27.55" respectively, each capable of a maximum feed rate of 196 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds up to 315 inches per minute. The spindle is vertical, equipped with an ISO 50 taper, delivering a top speed of 3,200 RPM standard, upgradeable to 5,200 RPM. The spindle motor offers 25 HP rated for 30 minutes, with an option to upgrade to 35 HP for enhanced performance. The tool management system consists of an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard 30-tool capacity, expandable to 50 tools, and a tool change time of 6 seconds. The machine lacks both U-axis functionality and a pallet changer. This setup combines heavy-duty capacity with reasonably high speed and versatile tooling, making it suitable for large-part milling, drilling, and precision machining applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery. The robust construction and extensive travel range allow for complex, high-load machining operations with efficient tool handling and rapid movements along all three axes.
