Kent Industrial USA, Inc. KTM-4VKF-E VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a 50" x 12" work table capable of supporting up to 850 lbs, providing a robust platform for a wide range of machining tasks. It is equipped with a single vertical spindle with an R-8 taper (optional #30 taper), optimized for versatility and precision in tooling. The spindle delivers up to 4,500 RPM with a 3.0 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, suitable for moderate-speed milling operations. The machine operates on a 3-axis system (X, Y, and Z) with respective travels of 33", 18", and 18", allowing for precise three-dimensional machining. The tool carrier is manual with a single tool capacity, and no pallet changer or rotary axis support is incorporated. Rapid traverse rates and maximum feed speeds are unspecified but typically matched to travel dimensions for effective machining throughput. This unit is designed for manual tooling setups and is ideal for applications requiring medium-sized workpieces and moderate spindle power. The R-8 spindle taper is a classic steep taper, commonly used in vertical mills for tool holding, providing a balance of rigidity and ease of tool changes with manual drawbar operation. This machine's specification emphasizes solid performance for traditional vertical milling tasks where high rigidity and stable workholding are critical. Its configuration suits users seeking a straightforward, manual tooling vertical mill with a substantial work area and spindle capacity for various milling, drilling, and tapping operations.
