Kent CNC, a Division of Kent Industrial USA Inc. KFD-21 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large work envelope designed for heavy-duty production operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 24,000 lbs on a generous 79" × 70.87" table, with optional extension to 98" length for extended component machining. The BBT-50 spindle taper operates at a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, delivering 30 HP with an optional 35 HP upgrade for demanding cutting applications. The three-axis configuration provides substantial travel distances, including 82.68" of Y-axis traverse and 32" of Z-axis vertical movement, enabling complex multi-directional machining operations. An automatic tool changer (ATC) manages 24 cutting tools, minimizing downtime between operations and supporting rapid tool changes for varied machining sequences. The optional rotary table expands machining capabilities for indexed or continuous rotational work. This machine class excels in aerospace, automotive, and heavy industrial components requiring precision and production efficiency. The robust construction and substantial spindle power enable aggressive material removal rates while maintaining accuracy across extended runs, making it suitable for both prototype and high-volume production environments.
