KENT CNC, A DIVISION OF KENT INDUSTRIAL USA INC. KFD-14 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 79" x 47", with an optional extended length of 98", supporting workpieces up to 20,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. It operates on a 3-axis system with travels of 51.18" on the Y-axis and 32" on the Z-axis, providing substantial work envelope capacity. The spindle is vertically oriented with a BBT-50 taper, capable of speeds up to 6,000 RPM and powered by a 30 HP motor (optional 35 HP), ensuring strong cutting performance. The tool handling system includes a 24-position automatic tool changer (ATC), enhancing operational efficiency by reducing manual tool changes. While there is no integrated pallet changer or support index table, an optional rotary table can be added for increased versatility in multi-axis operations. Designed for precision and heavy machining, the BBT-50 spindle taper offers dual contact (taper and flange), significantly improving stiffness, reducing vibration, and enhancing machining accuracy and tool life. The machine’s high horsepower combined with the large worktable and substantial travel distances makes it ideal for heavy components in aerospace, automotive, and mold making industries requiring both rigidity and reliability. Rapid traverse rates and feed speeds are unspecified but would typically complement the machine’s heavy-duty capabilities. This center provides a strong combination of large workpiece capacity, powerful spindle performance, and flexible tooling options suitable for demanding vertical machining applications.
