KNUTH FORCETURN 630.50 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH Forceturn 630.50 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty turning operations. It features a robust flatbed design with a maximum turning diameter of 26 inches (670 mm) and a maximum workpiece length of up to 5,100 mm (197 inches), enabling machining of large, heavy components with high precision. The machine is equipped with a powerful main spindle delivering up to 20.1 HP and a maximum spindle speed of 2,250 RPM, supporting demanding cutting tasks. It offers two simultaneous cutting tools and a Z-axis travel of 197 inches, allowing versatile and efficient machining operations. The spindle has a large bore diameter of 85 mm, supporting substantial workpiece sizes. Rapid feed rates for the X and Z axes can reach up to 5,000 mm/min, enhancing productivity. Precision is maintained with positioning accuracies of approximately 0.015 mm (X-axis) and 0.03 mm (Z-axis), and repeatabilities as low as 0.007 mm (X-axis). The system includes advanced features such as cycle programming for series production and manual operation via two electronic handwheels for flexibility in use. The total power consumption is around 40 kVA, and the machine’s dimensions are approximately 7.5 m in length, 2.25 m in width, and 2.45 m in height, with a weight of about 7,600 kg. Additional systems include an automatic central lubrication system and a high-performance coolant system, ensuring smooth, continuous operation and machine longevity. This model is ideal for maintenance departments and single-part production where precision and robustness are critical.
