KENT CNC, A DIVISION OF KENT INDUSTRIAL USA INC. MA-U SERIES HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Kent CNC MA-U Series is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center engineered for high-precision turning and milling operations. Featuring a single main spindle with a maximum swing of 30 inches, this machine delivers robust performance with 25 horsepower at standard 850 RPM, expandable to 30 horsepower at 500 RPM optional settings. The dual tool carrier configuration—V8-100 primary and H4-250 secondary—enables flexible workholding strategies, though simultaneous cutting is limited to one tool. The machine's three-axis design provides 118 inches of travel on X, Y, and Z axes, delivering consistent feedrates and rapid traverses of 236 inches per minute across all axes, ensuring efficient cycle times for complex part geometries. This configuration supports bar and chucking operations with precision indexing capabilities. The MA-U Series utilizes FANUC Oi-TF CNC control, providing proven reliability and comprehensive programming flexibility. The machine's horizontal spindle orientation facilitates gravity-assisted chip evacuation, reducing tool wear and extending component life. With its combination of substantial cutting power, extended travels, and high feed rates, the MA-U Series is ideally suited for job shops and production environments requiring versatile, repeatable machining of medium to large workpieces with demanding tolerance requirements.
