KAUFMAN DUOFLEX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kaufman DUOflex is a horizontal twin spindle machining system engineered for lower-volume production runs demanding high-speed capabilities and operational flexibility. This compact CNC-controlled machining center features linear axis travel dimensions of 15.748 inches (X), 17.717 inches (Y), and 15.748 inches (Z), enabling efficient processing of moderate-sized workpieces. The machine delivers 35 horsepower of cutting power with a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM, providing balanced performance across diverse machining operations including roughing and finishing cuts. The dual spindle configuration allows simultaneous or sequential machining operations, significantly reducing cycle times and enhancing productivity for secondary operations and die-cast processing applications. The CNC control system enables programmable multi-axis interpolation for complex geometries and automated tool changes, improving precision and repeatability. With its relatively compact footprint compared to larger horizontal machining centers, the DUOflex offers excellent accessibility for tool changes, workpiece loading, and maintenance. The horizontal spindle orientation facilitates effective chip evacuation and coolant management, extending tool life while maintaining surface finish quality. This machine is particularly suitable for job shops and manufacturers requiring flexible production capabilities without the capital investment of larger, fully integrated systems, making it an economical choice for intermediate-volume component manufacturing across automotive, aerospace, and general industrial applications.
