KNUTH BO 90 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Knuth BO 90 is a horizontal machining center designed for precise drilling and milling operations on workpieces up to 2,200 lbs. It features a 24.8" by 27.5" worktable supporting heavy parts with robust stability. The machine is equipped with a BT 40 spindle taper delivering up to 2,500 RPM and 7.0 HP (30-minute rating), suitable for a variety of horizontal machining tasks. The 3-axis configuration provides travel distances of 27.5" in X, 20" in Y, and 31.5" in Z, each capable of a maximum feed rate of 196 ipm and a rapid traverse speed of 590 ipm, facilitating efficient material removal and positioning. Optional 4-axis capability adds rotary machining versatility. An automatic tool changer (ATC) enables quick tool switching for productivity enhancement. With a 360° rotary B-axis, the machine allows complex, multi-sided machining on the horizontal plane. Its sturdy construction ensures high accuracy and repeatability required for industrial manufacturing. The BO 90 CNC integrates advanced CNC controls (commonly Siemens 802 or 828D) ensuring flexible programming and user-friendly operation. The table is fitted with T-slots for secure workholding. Its design conforms to CE standards and suits medium to heavy-duty horizontal milling and boring applications, ideal for machining tasks requiring heavy workpiece support and moderate spindle speed in a horizontal setup. This model blends power, precision, and flexibility in a compact footprint for varied horizontal CNC machining needs.
