Sharp KMA-1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table/work support with dimensions of 67.000 inches in length and 14.940 inches in width, capable of handling workpieces up to 2,000 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a #50 taper, delivering a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM and a 30-minute rated power of 10.00 HP, ensuring high performance for demanding milling operations. Tooling is managed manually, supporting a single tool at a time, with no automatic tool changer or additional tool options. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), each offering precise travel: X-axis 39.380 inches, Y-axis 14.940 inches, and Z-axis 19.690 inches. Maximum feed rates for all axes are 35 IPM, while rapid traverse rates reach 113 IPM, enabling efficient movement and reduced cycle times. The design emphasizes rigidity and accuracy, making it suitable for a wide range of milling tasks, from prototyping to production. Its manual tool change system simplifies operation for environments where automation is not required, while the substantial table size and high workpiece weight capacity accommodate larger and heavier components. This machine is ideal for shops seeking reliable, high-capacity milling with straightforward tool management and robust construction.
