High Speed Horizontal Machining Center Reaches 15,000 RPM in Under 2 Seconds

The KENT USA® KSH-4000P series Horizontal Machining Center integrates proven machine design with cutting-edge control and manufacturing technology. The robust machine body structure ensures higher turning efficiency, superior finishes, and longer tool life, significantly enhancing productivity and profitability.

Equipped with Fanuc 0i-MF Control, the new horizontal machining center boasts a 15,000 RPM built-in spindle with air/oil mist lubrication and cooler, Big Plus CAT-40, 60-tool arm-type ATC, full B-axis with 0.001-degree precision, 2-pallet APC, preparation for field tool setter installation, 400 psi CTS, and an integrated dual-level chip conveyor designed for aluminum machining.

The KSH-4000 series is specifically engineered for machining aluminum alloy parts. It features a built-in spindle that delivers 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 precise aluminum parts machining.

The machine bed utilizes a 3-point support structure for easy leveling adjustment and stable installation. X-axis roller guideways on a stepped bed enhance structural rigidity, reduce weight, and save floor space, making the minimized machine width design advantageous for mass production line planning.

The horizontal machining center features a traveling column design for compactness and speed. The smallest model, the 4000P, measures 69" (1752 mm) in width and offers X-Y-Z axis travels of 20" x 20" x 20" (500 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm).

A high-speed full contouring "B" axis provides 0.001" precision and a 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 tool changes in 1.4 seconds with an 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.
