High-Speed/High-Precision VMC



The high-speed, high precision Kent USA KVP vertical machining center (VMC) integrates proven machine design with cutting-edge control and manufacturing technology, the company reported.

"Renowned for their reliability and stability, these machines are a top choice for demanding job shops and in-house production facilities," said a company spokesperson. "The robust machine body structure ensures higher turning efficiency, superior finishes and longer tool life, significantly enhancing productivity and profitability."

Key features:

  • FANUC 0i-MF Plus
  • 10.4" LCD
  • 15,000 RPM (direct-drive)
  • 20 HP spindle (ceramic bearings)
  • CAT-40 dual contact
  • Spindle oil cooler
  • 300 PSI coolant through spindle
  • High/low gear function
  • 30 tool capacity fast ATC
  • Chain type chip conveyor
  • Chip tank
  • Shower coolant
  • 208/220 Volt x 3 phase.

The ballscrews are center-mounted and supported on both ends by high-precision angular contact thrust bearings. This single pretension design provides improved positioning repeatability with minimized thermal growth.

The base and column castings feature vibration-absorbing ribs that transfer vibration away from the cutting area.

KVP Series use linear guideways for each axis. Linear guideways are preloaded to provide zero clearance between the moving surfaces. They have a low coefficient of friction, which allows faster movements without sacrificing repeatability or positioning accuracy.

By employing winding switching, a wider rate output range required for the spindle driving motor of a machine tool is achieved.
