Knuth KB1400 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 55.000 inches in length by 15.700 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 2,200 lbs, ensuring stability for heavy-duty machining tasks. The vertical spindle is equipped with an ISO/NMTB 50 taper, providing secure tool holding and compatibility with a wide range of cutting tools. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 1,800 RPM and is powered by a 10 HP motor (30-minute rating), offering sufficient torque for demanding milling operations. The machine operates on four axes—X, Y, Z, and A—with manual tool carrier and no pallet changer. Axis travels are 31.500 inches (X), 15.750 inches (Y), 19.700 inches (Z), and 60.000 degrees (A), enabling versatile part positioning and complex contouring. Maximum feed rates for all linear axes are 25 inches per minute, while rapid traverse reaches 65 inches per minute, ensuring efficient cycle times. The A-axis allows for angular positioning up to 60 degrees, enhancing the machine’s capability for multi-sided and angled machining. Designed for precision and reliability, this machining center is suitable for a broad range of industrial applications, including mold making, prototyping, and production machining, where accuracy, rigidity, and repeatability are critical.
