KIWA KNH-426X HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2003 KIWA KNH-426X Horizontal Machining Center features a robust 25 HP spindle motor with a CAT 40 taper, capable of spindle speeds up to 12,000 RPM, ideal for high-precision machining. It offers equal travel distances along the X, Y, and Z axes, each at 22.05 inches, allowing versatile work area coverage. The machine supports rapid traverse rates of 1,417.32 inches per minute in all axes, enabling efficient material removal and cycle times. Cutting feed rates range from 0.04 to 1,417.32 inches per minute, optimizing performance across diverse cutting operations. It includes a dual-pallet system with pallets sized at 15.75 x 15.75 inches, each supporting loads up to 880 pounds, facilitating continuous operation and increased throughput. The tool magazine holds up to 40 tools, accommodating a maximum tool diameter of 2.95 inches without adjacent tools and up to 5.91 inches with adjacent tools, with maximum tool length at 11.81 inches and weight up to 17.64 pounds. The machine measures 126 inches in length, 204 inches in width, and 106 inches in height, weighing approximately 24,250 pounds, reflecting its solid construction for stability during heavy-duty machining. Designed for high-efficiency horizontal machining, the KNH-426X is suitable for intricate, multi-axis manufacturing processes, combining compact work envelope dimensions with powerful spindle performance and rapid axis motions. Its configuration supports demanding industrial applications requiring precision, flexibility, and reliable tool capacity.
