KNUTH VDM 2600S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KNUTH VDM 2600 S is a heavy-duty vertical machining center designed for precision machining of large and heavy workpieces. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 102 inches and a turning length of 59 inches, supported by a 91-inch chuck diameter and a 102-inch max swing. The spindle operates at speeds up to 45 RPM and is powered by a robust 50 HP main drive, delivering high torque for demanding applications. The machine supports up to 5 tools, with the capability for 2 simultaneous cutting tools, and offers 5-axis control for complex machining operations. The X-axis provides 51 inches of travel with a maximum feed rate of 3 inches per minute and a rapid traverse of 71 inches per minute. The Y-axis matches the X-axis in feed and rapid traverse rates. The Z-axis offers 46 inches of travel, also with a maximum feed rate of 3 inches per minute and a rapid traverse of 71 inches per minute. The VDM 2600 S is equipped with a high-torque servo motor for infinitely variable feed control, ensuring precise and consistent machining. Its heavy-duty column, wide hardened guideways, and rigid guide construction guarantee maximum rigidity and accuracy. The machine is designed for easy access and tooling, with hydraulic clamping of the cross traverse and a standard 3-axis position indicator for enhanced precision.
