KIRA KDL 8T HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The KIRA KDL 8T Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision CNC lathe designed for efficient turning and milling operations. Featuring a horizontal spindle configuration, it supports a maximum turning diameter of 11.020" and a turning length of 11.810", with an 8.000" chuck diameter and a maximum swing of 18.890". The machine is equipped with a single main spindle capable of 4,500 RPM and 20 HP, ensuring robust performance for demanding machining tasks. It accommodates bar stock up to 2.000" in diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of workpiece sizes. The primary tool carrier is a turret with a maximum of 12 turning tools, allowing for versatile tooling options, while supporting one simultaneous cutting tool for precise operations. The KDL 8T operates on a 2-axis system, with X-axis travel of 6.500" and Z-axis travel of 13.770". Rapid traverse rates are 1,179 ipm on all axes, enabling fast positioning and reduced cycle times. This machining center combines reliability, speed, and flexibility, making it ideal for high-volume production environments requiring consistent accuracy and efficiency in turning applications.
