SHARP KHM 180 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Sharp KHM 180 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust work table sized at 59.0" x 31.5" (optional 31.49" x 31.49") capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,409 lbs. It operates with a horizontal spindle having an NT50 taper, delivering up to 1,500 RPM at 10 HP (30-minute rating). The machine provides three linear axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 70", 55", and 47" respectively, and supports a maximum feed rate of 35 inches per minute with rapid traverse speeds up to 113 inches per minute. The CNC system optionally enhances capability with a fourth axis. The structure is built for heavy-duty machining with a high load capacity and precision spanning large part dimensions. Both table and rotary table supports are available as options, expanding the machine’s flexibility for diverse setups. This machining center is designed to handle large, heavy workpieces with stable, precise positioning and is suitable for horizontal machining applications requiring robust tooling and dimensional accuracy. Its spindle features moderate speed optimized for torque-intensive machining tasks, making it ideal for automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing environments that require horizontal milling, drilling, and tapping operations. The machine balances size, power, and precision in a versatile horizontal design that supports complex machining profiles with efficient feed rates and travel distances.
