Kaast Machine Tools’ V-Mill 600.5X is a 5-axis CNC vertical machining center (VMC) which utilizes a massive gantry structure consisting of a base frame, double racks and stable crossbeam to ensure rigidity and cutting performance.
This model also features cooled ball screws combined with high-quality linear roller guides and a powerful, high-speed spindle with ceramic bearings for superior milling surface. The generously sized worktable diameter of Ø600 mm (23”) and is capable of supporting up to 400 kg (880 lbs).
This VMC features a T-shaped machine structure with matching column base width. The table is independently installed on the base and is fully supported through the entire stroke. This machine offers high speed for maximum stability, high-precision mold and die machining. The structural portions of V-Mill 600.5X CNC are manufactured from high-quality cast iron, stress relieved and heat treated for deformation-free performance.
A 30-tool magazine for flexible milling and drilling applications is a standard feature on the V-Mill 600.5X. It can easily accommodate a BT-40 shank and includes a precision CAM drive that achieves ± 0.08 mm (0.0032”) positioning accuracy. Tool changing is a fast, smooth, stable motion and the tool change arm is completely waterproof, thereby preventing coolant from entering the arm during use. Users also have the option of adding a pallet changer to avoid the downtime associated with loading and unloading.
