MONFORTS KNC 300 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Monforts KNC 300 is a robust horizontal turning machine engineered for precision and versatility in production environments. This CNC-controlled lathe features a single main spindle capable of achieving 4,000 RPM with 13.50 HP output, delivering consistent performance for demanding turning operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 6.120" in maximum turning diameter with a generous 39.400" turning length, supported by a 6.500" chuck diameter and 12.600" maximum swing capacity. The dual-axis configuration provides 7.090" of X-axis travel and 33.900" of Z-axis travel, with rapid traverse rates reaching 197 ipm on both axes, enabling efficient cycle times and reduced non-cutting time. The primary tool carrier utilizes Mutifix size B compatibility, supporting up to four turning tools with one simultaneous cutting tool operation, optimizing flexibility for complex part geometries. The machine combines controlled cycle programming with DIN programmability through its EuroTurn control system, requiring minimal NC programming expertise for operators. This configuration makes the KNC 300 ideal for one-off and small-series production runs, delivering high-quality turning capabilities with reliable automation and adaptable tooling for varied manufacturing applications.
