KENT CNC KSH High Speed Horizontal Machining Center

New-Style Horizontal Machining Center with Fanuc 0i-MF Control with 10.4″ Color LCD and Manual Guide i, 15,000 RPM Built-in Spindle with Air/Oil Mist Lube and Cooler, Big Plus CAT-40, 60 Tool Arm-Type ATC, Full B-Axis .001 Degree, 2 Pallet APC, Prepped for Field Tool Setter Install, 400psi CTS, Integrated Style Dual Level Chip Conveyor for Aluminum
The KSH-4000 series is specifically designed for machining aluminum alloy parts. To ensure excellent performance, the machine features a built-in spindle that operates at 15,000 rpm, with power outputs of 18.5/26/37 kW and torque outputs of 95/171/250 Nm.
High precision positioning cones with a hydraulic locking device generate a clamping force of 4.2 tons, ensuring table stability during machining. The KSH series is ideal for applications requiring smaller strokes and aluminum parts machining.
The machine bed uses a 3-point support structure, which facilitates leveling adjustment and ensures stable installation. The X-axis roller guideways are set on a stepped bed, enhancing structural rigidity, reducing weight, and saving floor space. The minimized machine width design is advantageous for mass production line planning.
The KENT KSH horizontal machining center series features a traveling column design for compactness and speed. The smallest model, the 4000P, is 69″ (1752 mm) wide and has X-Y-Z axis travels of 20″ x 20″ x 20″ (500 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm).
Double nut pre-loaded 40mm (1.57″)-diameter class 3 ball screws enable rapid traverse rates of 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) and acceleration/deceleration up to 1.0G in the X, Y, and Z axes. An Absolute Pulse Coder servo system eliminates the need for zero return, allowing the machine to start from any position.
The machines are equipped with 15,000 rpm integral spindles that, through high-low winding switching, deliver a peak power of 50 hp (10 min. rating), 35 hp in high, and 25 hp in low, with a peak torque of 184 lb-ft at 980 rpm. The spindles accelerate from 0-7,000 rpm in 0.48 seconds and from 0-15,000 rpm in 1.9 seconds, decelerating from 12,000 rpm to stop in 0.8 seconds. The Big Plus dual contact tool holding system is standard, and spindle bearing lubrication is achieved through an air/oil mist system.A high speed full contouring “B” axis provides 0.001˚ precision and 90˚ index time of 0.5 seconds (4000P) and 0.76 seconds (5000P). A hydraulic clamping mechanism assures repeatability.
The standard 60-station automatic tool changer executes changes in 1.4 seconds with average chip to chip time of only 2.6 seconds (4000P) and 3.0 seconds (5000P). A rotary type automatic pallet changer switches pallets in 5.9 - 7.0 seconds
The machines feature rigid Meehanite cast iron frames, and a standard rear discharge chip removal system assures efficient chip removal. A Fanuc 0i-MF conversational control is standard with a full complement of high-speed machining options for mold detail and electrode machining.
