Kent CNC, a Division of Kent Industrial USA Inc. KVR-1580 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a CT-50 spindle with a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM and a 30-minute rated power of 14.80 HP, expandable to 20 HP optionally, making it suitable for both general-purpose and demanding machining operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 4,620 lbs on its 63.000" x 27.500" work table, providing substantial capacity for mid-sized production runs. With three axes of CNC control, the machine delivers impressive traverse capabilities: 59.000" of X-axis travel, 31.500" of Y-axis travel, and 27.500" of Z-axis travel. All axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 591 ipm for efficient non-cutting movements, while maintaining a consistent 197 ipm maximum feed rate across all three axes for controlled cutting operations. The CT-50 spindle taper offers rigidity and stability suitable for heavy-duty machining applications, balancing strength with versatility for various metalworking tasks. This machine configuration lacks optional features such as U-axis capabilities, pallet changer systems, rotary table support, or support index tables, positioning it as a straightforward, economical three-axis vertical machining center. The combination of moderate power, substantial work envelope, and solid rapid traverse rates makes this machine well-suited for job shops and manufacturers requiring reliable performance without specialized automation or advanced multi-axis capabilities.
