KURAKI KBT-15BDX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kuraki KBT-15BDX is a 5-axis horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty, large-scale precision machining. It features a robust worktable measuring 78.74 inches by 86.61 inches, capable of supporting workpieces up to 44,000 lbs, making it suitable for extremely large and heavy components. The machine's spindle is a #50 taper type running up to 2,000 RPM, powered by a 35 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, optimized for high torque and endurance in demanding operations. Tool handling is managed by a 40-position automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable up to 240 tools, enhancing machining flexibility and productivity. Optional pallet changers are available, supporting 2 standard pallets with expansions up to 12 pallets for continuous production and efficient workpiece transitions. Axis travels provide a substantial machining envelope, with X-axis travel of 118.11 inches, Y-axis travel of 90.55 inches, and Z-axis travel of 62.99 inches, all with rapid traverse rates up to 394 inches per minute. The full 360-degree B-axis rotation allows for complex 5-axis machining capabilities, enabling precise machining of complex geometries and multi-sided parts. The Kuraki KBT-15BDX is engineered for industries requiring high rigidity, superior accuracy, and the ability to handle heavy workpieces, such as aerospace, energy, and heavy equipment manufacturing. This machining center balances large-scale capacity with multi-axis sophistication to provide versatile and high-performance machining solutions.
