Knuth MATRIX 2500 CNC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical CNC machining center features a large rectangular table measuring 98.0 inches in length and 22.0 inches in width, capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of 7,700 lbs, enabling the handling of heavy and large parts. The machine operates on a 3-axis system (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 98.4", 22", and 22" respectively, all offering a maximum feed rate of 396 inches per minute and a rapid traverse speed of 984 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and fast positioning. The spindle is vertically oriented with a BT40 taper, delivering up to 8,000 RPM and powered by a 20.1 HP motor with an optional 14.75 HP rating, suited for versatile milling operations requiring moderate to high-speed rotation. Tool management is handled by an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) accommodating 20 tools, with a tool change time of 8 seconds and an 8-second chip-to-chip time, enhancing productivity in multi-tool jobs. No pallet changer or rotary table support is integrated. The spindle specifications emphasize robust power combined with a common BT40 tooling interface, suitable for a broad range of machining tasks from general milling to precision component manufacturing. The machine integrates high-speed, high precision feeds and travels to deliver accuracy alongside heavy-duty capacity ideal for industrial milling processes. This configuration is well-positioned for machining large parts requiring high rigidity and powerful torque in metalworking environments.
