KENT CNC KVR 2418 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The KENT CNC KVR 2418 Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 3-axis CNC milling machine equipped with a powerful 15 HP servo spindle motor delivering up to 10,000 RPM, supported by a spindle chiller system for enhanced thermal stability and precision. It utilizes a CAT-40 taper spindle and features a 16-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) for efficient machining operations. The machine’s table measures 457.2 mm by 762 mm, providing ample workspace, and supports a maximum workpiece load of approximately 660 lbs. The working travels span 24" (X-axis), 18.1" (Y-axis), and 18.9" (Z-axis), with spindle-to-table clearance from 3.9" to 22". Its heavy-duty "roller" type linear guideways offer superior rigidity and smooth, precise axis motion compared to traditional ball-type guides. The CNC control is a Fanuc 0i-MD system, offering advanced digital servo control for simultaneous three-axis operation, with features such as automatic data backup, customizable macros, rigid tapping, helical interpolation, and high-speed skip, enhancing productivity and ease of programming. The machine includes a full enclosure with lockable doors, a coolant system with chip flush and auger conveyor, automatic lubrication, and LED work lighting. Certified Meehanite FC-25 castings provide vibration dampening and machine stability. Dimensionally, it measures 93" x 87" x 97" and weighs approximately 8,960 lbs, making it a robust and precise machining center suitable for demanding milling applications in job shops and production environments.
