Willis Machinery & Tools KMV-42P VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large 165" x 70" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 11,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining. It is equipped with a vertical CAT #50 spindle taper spindle, delivering 30 HP (30-minute rating) with a top speed of 4,500 RPM, optionally up to 6,000 RPM, providing robust power and torque for demanding cutting operations. The machine utilizes a side-mounted, arm-type automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 24 tools, expandable up to 60 tools, enhancing workflow efficiency by minimizing tool change times. It operates with 3 axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of 70" on the Y-axis and 35" on the Z-axis; the X-axis travel is unspecified but integral to its function. The rapid traverse rates and maximum feed rates are configured to optimize material removal rates and precision. The CAT #50 taper spindle is designed for heavy-duty machining, providing strong rigidity and stability under high cutting forces, ideal for large-scale and tough materials. This machining center’s combination of an extensive work area, high load capacity, a powerful spindle, and flexible tooling options makes it well-suited for large-scale industrial manufacturing environments including mold making, aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery fabrication. The machine's structure supports precision and durability necessary for complex and high-volume machining tasks.
