KITAKO VT4-550 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KITAKO VT4-550 Vertical Machining Center is a robust dual-spindle CNC vertical lathe designed for high-capacity turning operations. It supports a maximum turning diameter of 21.65 inches and turning length up to 12 inches, accommodating large workpieces with a maximum spindle swing of 25 inches. Each main spindle is powered by a 35 HP motor and operates at a maximum speed of 2,200 RPM, delivering substantial torque for heavy-duty machining. The lathe features two main spindles and accommodates up to four turning tools, with simultaneous cutting capability of two tools, enhancing productivity through parallel processing. The machine operates on a 4-axis system with an X-axis travel of 17.72 inches and Z-axis travel of 25.59 inches, allowing precise control over multi-dimensional machining tasks. Equipped with a 15-inch diameter chuck, it ensures firm workpiece holding for accurate turning. The vertical design facilitates handling of heavy parts and integration with automation systems, reducing downtime with efficient loading/unloading operations. The machine’s construction emphasizes rigidity and stability, leveraging advanced spindle offset functions to ensure high-precision spindle alignment. The VT4-550 is optimized for extended production runs, offering reliable and precise machining with minimal operator intervention, ideal for manufacturers requiring efficient, heavy-duty vertical lathe capabilities.
