KENT CNC, A DIVISION OF KENT INDUSTRIAL USA INC. KMH-500 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kent CNC KMH-500 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust 3-axis design with travels of 31.5" (X), 28.54" (Y), and 28.54" (Z), accommodating versatile machining requirements. It is equipped with a horizontal spindle featuring a BT-40 taper (optional BT-50) capable of speeds up to 10,000 RPM, with an optional 6,000 RPM variant for specific applications. The machine includes an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) supporting 40 tools as standard, expandable to 90 tools, enhancing continuous machining efficiency. The worktable measures 19.69" x 19.69" and lacks additional support index or rotary tables, focusing on rigid horizontal machining. A standard pallet changer boosts operational throughput by reducing setup times. The KMH-500 integrates advanced Fanuc CNC control technology and roller-type linear ways on all three axes for high precision and durability. Its rigid construction paired with the horizontally oriented spindle optimizes chip evacuation and provides greater cutting stability, leading to improved tool life and superior surface finish. Rapid traverse rates and max feed rates are tailored for efficient material removal within its work envelope. This machining center is suited for heavy-duty and precise metal cutting in demanding job shop environments and production scenarios, emphasizing reliability, accuracy, and productivity. Its compact footprint enables effective floor space usage without compromising on performance and tooling capacity.
