KIRA KDL 6T HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KIRA KDL 6T is a horizontal machining center designed for precision turning operations, featuring a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 11.020 inches and a maximum turning length of 12.590 inches. The spindle has a chuck diameter of 6.000 inches and a maximum swing of 18.890 inches, accommodating bar stock up to 1.730 inches in diameter. It operates at up to 6,000 RPM powered by a 19.5 HP motor, enabling efficient machining of medium-sized components. The machine uses a turret-style primary tool carrier capable of holding up to 12 tools, supporting single simultaneous cutting tool operation. It employs a 2-axis configuration with X-axis travel of 6.5 inches and Z-axis travel of 13.77 inches, both axes featuring rapid traverse rates up to 1,179 inches per minute, ensuring high-speed positioning and cycle time reduction. The control system is CNC-based, typically equipped with Fanuc 0i-Mate TD, providing reliable and accurate control for complex turning tasks. This machining center is suitable for bar, chucking, and universal turning applications in manufacturing environments requiring precision, repeatability, and flexibility. The robust spindle power combined with high feed rates and turret capacity makes it ideal for small to medium production runs of parts requiring tight tolerances and efficient tool changes. Overall, the KIRA KDL 6T combines moderate capacity with high-speed CNC control to deliver precise horizontal turning capabilities.
