Willis Machinery & Tools KMV-16 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The Willis Machinery KMV-16 is a full-featured vertical machining center designed for versatile industrial applications. This three-axis CNC machine features a spacious work table measuring 67 inches by 32 inches with a maximum workpiece capacity of 4,400 pounds, accommodating a wide range of part sizes and weights. The machine is equipped with a CAT-50 spindle taper operating at a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM, delivering 25 horsepower with a 30-minute rating, making it suitable for heavy-duty cutting operations requiring substantial torque. X, Y, and Z-axis travels each provide 32 inches of movement, enabling comprehensive three-dimensional machining capabilities. The standard automatic tool changer (ATC) accommodates 24 tools, with an optional upgrade to 32 tools for extended production runs without tool changes. The machine incorporates German-engineered ZF gearbox technology, providing outstanding power and torque throughout the entire spindle speed range. Construction features high-quality annealed and stress-relieved castings combined with oversized hardened and ground box ways on all axes, ensuring rigidity and accuracy. Pre-loaded and pre-tensioned precision ball screws minimize temperature variation and improve positional accuracy, while high-grade turcite on all axes provides superior wear resistance and minimal stick-slip characteristics. Additional available options include optional index and rotary tables for enhanced machining flexibility. The fully enclosed guarding design creates a safe, clean work environment while protecting operators and maintaining coolant containment during extended production cycles.
