Komatsu NTC ZV4000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Komatsu NTC ZV4000 is a compact vertical machining center designed for precision manufacturing of small to medium workpieces. Featuring a vertical spindle with ISO #40 taper, the machine delivers 12,000 RPM maximum spindle speed and 20 HP of cutting power at 30-minute rating. The work table measures 20.5" x 18.9" and accommodates workpieces up to 440 lbs. Three linear axes provide travel distances of 23.6" (X), 17.7" (Y), and 17.7" (Z), with rapid traverse rates reaching 1,968 ipm across all axes and maximum cutting feed rates of 787 ipm. The machine includes a standard 32-position automatic tool changer with exceptionally fast tool change capability—1.8 seconds tool-to-tool and 3.8 seconds chip-to-chip—enabling high productivity and minimal non-cutting time. An integrated dual-pallet changer comes standard, allowing operators to load/unload parts while machining continues, significantly improving throughput. The ZV4000's combination of high-speed capability, rapid axis movement, and efficient tool management makes it well-suited for job shops and production environments requiring fast cycle times on smaller components. Its compact footprint allows installation in space-constrained facilities while maintaining rigid construction necessary for maintaining precision and accuracy during high-speed operations. The machine represents an ideal solution for applications demanding repeatability and quick changeovers.
