2002 KIRA KN40VB VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS
Specifications & Market Value

Technical Description
The 2002 Kira KN40VB is a 3-axis twin-spindle vertical machining center from Kira Corporation of Japan, designed for high-volume parallel production of small and medium components. The machine features two independent BT40 spindles operating simultaneously, each with a 19.7" x 13.8" x 15.7" travel envelope (X/Y/Z), enabling two identical or mirrored parts to be machined simultaneously for doubled throughput. Each spindle reaches 12,000 RPM with a 20-tool per-spindle ATC providing multi-operation capability within each pallet cycle. Spindle centers are approximately 9.84" apart, defining the maximum component envelope for simultaneous twin-spindle machining. The Fanuc 21i-MB CNC control coordinates both spindles with full G-code compatibility. The KN40VB is a specialized high-production machine suited to facilities requiring high throughput on small prismatic components where twin-spindle simultaneous machining provides a direct cycle-time advantage over single-spindle alternatives.
