KIWA KNH-400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KIWA KNH-400 is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-volume production and complex multi-axis operations. Featuring a robust 25 hp spindle delivering up to 10,000 RPM, this machine provides exceptional cutting performance across aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and other demanding materials. The work envelope spans 23.6 inches on both X and Y axes with 19.7 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating mid-sized workpieces up to 880 pounds. The machine is equipped with a 64-position automatic tool changer with CAT-40 spindle taper, enabling rapid tool transitions and minimizing production downtime. Dual pallet system with full 4th-axis indexing capability allows for continuous loading and unloading operations without halting the cutting cycle, significantly improving throughput efficiency. The Fanuc 18iM CNC control provides advanced programming capabilities and reliable precision machining. Each pallet measures 15.75 inches square, offering adequate workspace for diverse component geometries. Rapid traverse rates of approximately 1,968 inches per minute on all axes ensure quick positioning between operations. The machine weighs 21,385 pounds and occupies approximately 179 by 95 inches of floor space with a height of 109 inches, requiring careful facility planning. Integrated through-spindle coolant delivery and chip conveyor system enhance operational efficiency and tool life. This horizontal machining center represents an ideal solution for aerospace, automotive, and general precision manufacturing environments demanding consistent quality and high-speed production capabilities.
