KNUTH VDM 2300S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH VDM 2300 S is a robust vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty turning applications with large workpiece diameters and weights. It features a maximum main spindle turning diameter of 91.000 inches and a turning length of 53.000 inches, enabling the machining of substantial components with precision. The main spindle chuck diameter is 79.000 inches, and the maximum swing also reaches 91.000 inches, providing ample clearance for complex workpieces. The spindle operates at speeds up to 80 RPM, driven by a 40.0 HP motor, ensuring high torque for demanding machining tasks. The machine supports up to 5 tools, with the capability to use 2 cutting tools simultaneously, enhancing productivity. It is equipped with a 5-axis configuration, offering X, Y, and Z axis travels of 45.000 inches each. The maximum feed rate for each axis is 3 inches per minute, while the rapid traverse reaches 71 inches per minute, allowing for efficient tool movement and reduced cycle times. The VDM 2300 S incorporates advanced features such as a high-torque servo motor feed drive, hydraulic crossbeam clamping, and a standard 3-axis position indicator for precise control. Its design facilitates easy and safe loading and unloading, making it ideal for heavy workpieces up to 17,600 lbs. The machine also includes automatic central lubrication and a fully enclosed housing for increased reliability and operator safety.
