KENT CNC, A DIVISION OF KENT INDUSTRIAL USA INC. KLR-400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The KENT CNC KLR-400 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 2-axis CNC lathe designed for heavy-duty turning applications with a maximum turning diameter of 26.8" and turning length of 43.3". It features a single main spindle powered by a 50 HP motor, capable of speeds up to 2,200 RPM, with a 15" chuck diameter and a maximum bar capacity of 4.52". The machine’s 45° slant bed with a one-piece Meehanite® casting enhances structural rigidity and vibration dampening, contributing to high precision and stability during machining. The KLR-400 incorporates induction-hardened, precision-ground box ways and high-grade C3 precision ball screws with pretension to ensure accuracy and smooth motion. Tooling is managed via a 12-station turret, supporting one simultaneous cutting tool for efficient operations. Axis travels include 14.4" on the X-axis and 47.2" on the Z-axis, both with rapid traverse rates of 787 ipm, enabling fast positioning and cycle times. The spindle uses a built-in gearbox with helical gears to increase torque output and reduce backlash and noise, ideal for complex, heavy cutting. Additional features include an auto lubrication system with metered check valves and a programmable spindle air blow tube to enhance tool life and machining quality. The machine footprint measures approximately 209" x 99" x 102" and weighs around 26,448 lbs. The KLR-400 is engineered for precision, durability, and versatility in industrial turning tasks, supporting a wide range of heavy and complex component manufacturing.
