KNUTH VDM 1600S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 63.000 inches and a maximum turning length of 39.000 inches, accommodating large workpieces with high precision. The main spindle chuck diameter is 55.000 inches, supporting robust workholding for heavy-duty applications. The machine’s maximum swing is 63.000 inches, ensuring clearance for oversized parts during rotation. The spindle operates at up to 160 RPM and delivers 29.00 HP, providing ample power for demanding turning operations. The vertical machining center is equipped with a 5-axis system, enabling complex multi-directional machining and intricate geometries. Tooling capacity includes up to 5 tools, with the ability to use 2 cutting tools simultaneously for enhanced productivity. The X-axis offers 36.000 inches of travel, with a maximum feed rate of 3 inches per minute (ipm) and a rapid traverse of 71 ipm. The Y-axis shares the same feed and rapid traverse rates, while the Z-axis provides 31.000 inches of travel, also with a maximum feed rate of 3 ipm and rapid traverse of 71 ipm. This configuration ensures high-speed positioning and efficient material removal, making the machine suitable for large-scale, high-precision manufacturing tasks requiring versatility and repeatability.
