Knuth KB2100 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 83.000 inches in length by 20.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,400 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing an ISO 50 taper, delivering a maximum spindle speed of 1,600 RPM and a 30-minute horsepower rating of 10.00, ensuring strong cutting performance for demanding tasks. Tooling is managed manually, with no pallet changer available, providing straightforward operation for shops prioritizing flexibility and direct control. The machine supports four axes, with X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 59.000 inches, 26.000 inches, and up to 28.000 inches (optional), respectively, enabling versatile part handling and multi-sided machining. All three axes offer a maximum feed rate of 71 inches per minute and a rapid traverse speed of 138 inches per minute, facilitating efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. The absence of a support index or rotary table focuses the machine’s capabilities on standard three-axis and basic four-axis operations. Designed for stability and precision, this machining center is ideal for industries requiring reliable, high-capacity milling of large or heavy components, including aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing.
