KNUTH VDM 1000S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH VDM 1000S Vertical Machining Center is a versatile 5-axis CNC machine designed for high-capacity turning and milling operations. It features a powerful 20 HP main spindle capable of a maximum spindle speed of 250 RPM, supporting a turning diameter and max swing of 39 inches and a maximum turning length of 31 inches. The main spindle accommodates a 35-inch chuck diameter, facilitating large workpiece handling. The machine supports up to 5 turning and 4 rotary tools, with simultaneous cutting using 2 tools to enhance productivity. Axis travel ranges include 26 inches on the X-axis, 3 inches on the Y-axis, and 24 inches on the Z-axis, each capable of a maximum feed rate of 3 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds of 71 inches per minute, allowing precise and efficient machining of complex parts. Robust construction ensures rigidity and accuracy during heavy cutting tasks. The 5-axis capability enables complex geometries and multi-sided machining in a single setup, improving accuracy and reducing cycle times. This machine is well suited for medium to large-sized parts requiring precise turning and machining, especially where large diameter and length capacities are critical. Its tool capacity and axis configuration make it optimal for advanced manufacturing environments demanding flexibility, precision, and reliability.
