KIWA KH-55 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kiwa KH-55 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision CNC machine designed for heavy-duty, versatile machining tasks. It features a substantial 19.7" x 19.7" table supporting up to 1,650 lbs workpieces, facilitating large-part machining with excellent stability. The machine operates with a CAT-50 spindle taper (BT-50 optional), powered by a high-torque 47 HP spindle motor running at speeds up to 10,000 RPM, suitable for demanding milling operations. The KH-55 has a 4-axis configuration providing X, Y, and Z travels of 31.5 inches each with rapid traverse rates reaching 2,362 inches per minute, ensuring fast and precise movements. The B axis offers a full 360-degree rotation for complex angular machining. Equipped with a 120-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), it minimizes tool change time to 1.8 seconds for enhanced productivity. A standard pallet changer with two pallets is included, with options to expand up to eight pallets, allowing efficient multi-part processing and reduced downtime. Additional features include a rigid built-in spindle design and optional hybrid guides that improve machining rigidity and vibration control, enhancing tool life and surface finish quality. The KH-55 is suited for aerospace, automotive, and heavy machining applications, providing a robust, high-speed, and flexible solution for extensive production demands.
