Knuth BFM 2500 UH CNC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 30.000 inches in length by 112.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,960 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a BT 50 taper, providing high rigidity and compatibility with a wide range of tooling. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, with a 30-minute power rating of 11.00 HP, and an optional upgrade to 15.00 HP for demanding applications. The tooling system includes a 24-station automatic tool changer with a rapid tool-to-tool change time of 1.5 seconds, ensuring efficient production cycles. The machine operates on three linear axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 98.400 inches (X), 33.000 inches (Y), and 28.000 inches (Z). Maximum feed rates for all axes are 197 inches per minute, while rapid traverse speeds reach 394 inches per minute, enabling fast positioning and reduced non-cutting time. The design does not include a rotary or index table, focusing on high-precision three-axis milling operations. The combination of a large worktable, high spindle power, and fast axis movement makes this machining center suitable for heavy-duty and high-productivity environments, ideal for industries requiring precision and reliability in metal cutting applications.
