Knuth Bed-Type Milling Machine Predator 1600 VH

Conventional high-end bed-type milling machine with preloaded ball screws and servo-drives for smooth feeding

This machine design features excellent load capacity, precision, and reliability
Heavy bed-type construction accommodates very heavy parts and powerful machining operations
High-strength, hardened FC-30 cast-iron ensures maximum rigidity and wear-resistance
Fine-ground and hardened box-ways with plastic counter-lamination on Y and Z
Linear measuring system on all 4 axes (X, Y, Z, and W)
Large preloaded ball screws with preloaded spindle nuts on all axes ensure long lasting high accuracy
All axes feature micro-adjustments and electric hand-wheels for faster machine setup and drastically increased accuracy
The standard horizontal cutter can be adjusted with the electric hand-wheel - allowing multi-sided machining without re-clamping of parts, if used in connection with a Divider or Rotary Table
3-step main drive at vertical cutter head, combined with a reliable variable frequency drive ensure high torque across the entire speed rage
Horizontal cutter head with dedicated drive, consisting of 5.5 kW motor and 6-step gear
Telescoping covers made of stainless steel ensure reliable protection of guides and spindles against ingress of chips and coolant
Individually adjustable automatic central lubrication provides reliable lubrication of all major guide elements
Pneumatic tool clamping at vertical spindle for easy and quick tool changes
Brake cylinders provide automatic target position fixation on the Z axis
Ergonomically arranged, swiveling control panel with position indicator
