Willis Machinery & Tools KMV-13 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical CNC machining center features a robust 57" x 27" worktable capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,300 lbs, ideal for heavy-duty machining tasks. It utilizes a vertical spindle with a #40 taper running at up to 8,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor with a 30-minute rating, providing strong cutting torque and stability. The tool handling system includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) carrying up to 24 tools, with an optional increase to 32 tools, enhancing machining versatility and efficiency. The machine operates on a three-axis configuration with travels of 26" on the Y-axis and 25" on the Z-axis, offering precise tool positioning and movement critical for complex machining operations. Optional support is available for both index and rotary tables to expand workholding capabilities, supporting more advanced setups. Designed with rigid construction principles typical of vertical CNC machining centers, it ensures high rigidity and stability needed for precision milling, drilling, tapping, and boring applications. This unit is suited for producing high-quality, complex components requiring reliable feed rates, rapid traverse, and consistent spindle performance. Its compatibility with optional accessories such as rotary tables for multi-axis machining and indexed setups further enhances production flexibility. Overall, this machine addresses demanding manufacturing needs in industries such as aerospace, automotive, mold making, and general machining by combining robust structural design with precise, automated tooling and spindle control.
