KIWA KMH300A-F008 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 KIWA KMH300A-F008 is a four-axis horizontal machining center engineered for precision metal removal operations. Powered by a direct-drive spindle delivering 12,000 RPM with a CAT-40 taper, this machine combines robust 20 HP performance with advanced cutting capabilities. The system features a full rotary B-axis for continuous pallet indexing, enabling complex multi-face machining without manual part repositioning. The machining envelope spans 18.11 inches in both X and Y travel with 13.78 inches in Z, accommodating workpieces up to 249.9 kilograms on pallets measuring 12.6 x 12.6 inches. The dual 320mm pallet system optimizes production efficiency by allowing tool changes and part loading while concurrent operations continue, significantly reducing spindle idle time. With 120 tool stations and rapid traverse rates reaching 1,968 inches per minute across all linear axes, the machine supports high-speed operations. Control is managed by a FANUC Series 0i-MF CNC system with 2GB data server capacity, delivering nano-interpolation precision and hundred-micro-inch command resolution. The machine incorporates through-spindle coolant delivery at 300-500 PSI pressure, chip evacuation via conveyor system, and advanced probing capabilities including Renishaw laser touch-off and tool-break detection. Additional features include chilled ballscrews for thermal stability, roller linear ways ensuring accuracy, and a six-position pallet system providing operational flexibility. With only 2,244 cutting hours logged, this machine represents a well-maintained asset suitable for precision aerospace, automotive, and complex component manufacturing applications.
