SHARP KHM 140 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Sharp KHM 140 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust horizontal spindle with an NT50 taper, delivering up to 1,500 RPM and 10 HP (30-minute rating), optimized for heavy-duty machining tasks. The machine has a generous table size of 43.3" by 31.5", with an optional smaller table at 23.6" square, supporting workpieces up to 3,086 lbs, enabling machining of large and heavy parts. It operates across three axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 57.0", 47.0", and 43.0" respectively, each capable of a maximum feed rate of 35 inches per minute and rapid traverse rates of 113 inches per minute, facilitating efficient and precise material removal. The system does not include a U axis but offers optional support for indexed or rotary tables for extended capabilities. Designed for high rigidity and stability, it is suitable for complex horizontal machining requiring precise positioning and high workpiece load capacity. The spindle’s lower RPM prioritizes torque over speed, ideal for robust cutting operations on large parts. This machining center exemplifies a balance between capacity, power, and travel for demanding horizontal machining applications.
