KIWA KMH-300A HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 KIWA KMH-300A Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine designed for precision and efficiency in complex machining tasks. It features a FANUC 0i-MF control system that offers advanced programming capabilities and smooth multi-axis control. The machine is equipped with a powerful 12,000 RPM CAT 40 spindle driven by a 20 HP motor, providing robust cutting power and excellent surface finish. It has a substantial tool magazine capacity of 120 automatic tool changer (ATC) positions, enabling extended unmanned operation and minimal tool change downtime. The machining center provides axis travels of 18.1" in both X and Y directions and 13.7" in Z, combined with a pallet size of 12.6" x 12.6" (320 mm x 320 mm) and full 4th axis indexing for complex multi-face machining without repositioning. It includes six pallets with automatic pallet changing, significantly enhancing productivity by allowing simultaneous part loading and machining. Precision is further improved with a RENISHAW OMP400 probe for on-machine measurement and setup verification. The machine incorporates a high-pressure through-spindle coolant system (up to 500 PSI) for enhanced cooling and chip evacuation, essential for high-speed and deep cutting operations. Additional features include chilled ballscrews for thermal stability, a micro hinge conveyor, and LNS chip conveyor, ensuring smooth chip removal. This machine is suitable for demanding production environments requiring consistent accuracy, flexibility, and high metal-removal rates.
