KIWA KNH-426 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KIWA KNH-426X is a robust 4-axis CNC horizontal machining center designed for precision manufacturing operations. Equipped with a FANUC 18iMB control system, this machine delivers reliable performance for complex part production. The machine features generous work envelope with 24" X-axis, 23.6" Y-axis, and 26.2" Z-axis travel, accommodating medium to large workpieces up to 881 lbs. The 35 HP spindle operates at a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM with a CAT-40 Big Plus taper, providing adequate power and speed for diverse machining applications. The 120-position automatic tool changer enables rapid tool changes in approximately 1.2 seconds, with chip-to-chip capability of 4.0 seconds, minimizing non-cutting time and maximizing productivity. The machine accommodates a 6-pallet pool with individual pallet dimensions of 15.75" × 15.75", allowing for continuous production with automated pallet exchanges. Standard features include thru-spindle coolant capability, high-pressure coolant readiness, and a chip conveyor system for efficient debris management. The Renishaw probing system enables advanced inspection and quality control functionality. Overall dimensions of 179" × 103" × 110" with a machine weight of 21,800 lbs require appropriate floor space and infrastructure. This horizontal machining center is ideal for job shops and production environments requiring precision, flexibility, and reliability in medium-volume manufacturing.
