KNUTH BASIC 180 V VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 14.000 inches, enabling the machining of large-diameter workpieces with precision. The spindle is capable of speeds up to 3,000 RPM, providing high-performance turning for a variety of materials and applications. With a spindle motor rated at 5.40 horsepower, the machine delivers sufficient power for demanding cutting operations, including roughing and finishing of medium to large parts. The vertical machining center supports up to two simultaneous cutting tools, allowing for efficient multi-tool operations and reduced cycle times. The X and Y axis travel specifications are not provided, but the Z axis travel is 4.000 inches, defining the maximum length of the workpiece that can be machined along the spindle axis. This configuration is well-suited for parts requiring moderate length and high accuracy, typical in general machining, automotive, and industrial manufacturing environments. The machine’s design ensures rigidity and stability during operation, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The combination of high spindle speed, adequate horsepower, and multi-tool capability makes this vertical machining center ideal for shops seeking versatility and productivity in CNC turning applications.
