Fast and compact, V-Turn CNC 550 is a 22 inch swing, Fanuc 0i-TF, 25 hp vertical lathe. Loaded with live tooling, C-axis and Renishaw HPRA tool setter, the V-Turn CNC 550 vertical lathe has a 2-stage transmission with high torque for heavy-machining — even on tough materials. A 12-tool turret, coolant system, chip conveyor and automatic lubrication are some additional features also present on this VTL.
Kaast also highlights its VF-Mill series, spotlighting A 11L and the D Mini. These VMCs match a fast tool changer with a 10,000 rpm CAT40 spindle. Running the newest generation of the Fanuc 0i control systems, these products also feature robust and solid base frames, providing rigidity, stability and vibration-free work — even with heavy duty cutting — according to the company.
Kaast’s C-Turn series engine lathes feature hardened, precision-ground guideways, low noise and a universal gearbox. This enables for cutting precise measurements with no need to change gears. Kaast has both manual and CNC versions of the C-Turn series. The CNC version also possesses the capability for conversational programming with the Fagor8055iA TC control panel, enabling users with no prior programming or G-code background.
The CNC teach style bed mill designed for small series production and prototyping, the DMV 380 VS CNC, is also a part of Kaast’s lineup. Featuring a drilling and milling head with quiet V-belt drive operation, infinitely variable spindle speed control pairs with an automatic spindle sleeve feed with micrometer depth stop. Running the Fagor8055i/A control, operators can upload existing files, write at the machine or operate manually.
For grinding, the F-Grind AH offers a grinding spindle which runs in heavy-duty, preloaded angular contact ball bearings and features automatic feed in X, Y and Z. High positioning accuracy of the vertical axis is realized by AC servo motor in conjunction with a recirculating ball screw.
