Knuth BFM 2500 PRO CNC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical CNC machining center features a robust 30.000" x 112.000" worktable capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,960 lbs, providing ample capacity for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a BT 40 taper, delivering a top speed of 8,000 RPM and a 30-minute power rating of 11 HP, with an optional peak of 15 HP for demanding applications. Tooling is managed by a 24-station automatic tool changer, enabling rapid tool changes in just 1.5 seconds for efficient production cycles. The machine operates on three linear axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of 98.400", 34.000", and 28.000" respectively, allowing for extensive part coverage and flexibility. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 197 IPM and a rapid traverse speed of 394 IPM, ensuring fast and precise movement for both roughing and finishing operations. The design does not include a rotary or index table, focusing on straightforward 3-axis milling. The absence of a pallet changer emphasizes a single-setup workflow, ideal for large or complex workpieces. This configuration is well-suited for high-precision, high-productivity milling in industries requiring reliable and consistent performance.
