KENT KMH-800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KENT KMH-800 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust CNC machine offering a large working envelope with X, Y, and Z axis travels of 50 inches, 41.4 inches, and 41.4 inches respectively. It features a CAT50 tool taper compatible with a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) to support complex machining operations with minimal downtime. The machine incorporates a 31.5-inch square pallet, enhancing workpiece stability and supporting a diverse range of part sizes and weights. The KMH-800 utilizes a FANUC 0i-MD control system, known for its precision and reliability in industrial CNC applications. Its design includes a traveling column construction and roller-type linear ways on all three axes for enhanced rigidity, accuracy, and smooth movement. The machine structure is manufactured from high-quality tempered cast iron with “V” shaped rib reinforcements to resist deformation and maintain precision during heavy cutting. The spindle speed can reach up to 6,000 RPM with a gear-driven BT-50 spindle, providing effective power transmission for diverse machining tasks. The KMH-800 also features a reciprocating automatic pallet changer option and a full Fanuc servomotor package, ensuring high-speed and accurate machining performance. This horizontal machining center is designed to maximize productivity through optimized chip evacuation, rigid build, and efficient tool handling, making it suitable for demanding industrial manufacturing environments requiring high precision and long tool life. The machine supports heavy workpieces and provides a heavy-duty, stable base to maintain machining accuracy over prolonged use.
