Highlights

Overview of Knuth X.Mill T Series Vertical Machining Centres

The X.mill T series is the latest generation of our vertical machining centers. Here the user decides which CNC control fits best into his machine portfolio. With either Heidenhain, Siemens or Fanuc controls, this series offers an outstanding price-performance ratio. A wide range of accessories enables you to adapt them to your specific requirements. By using the latest FEM analysis software, we were also able to achieve an outstanding rigidity of the machine frame in this machine class.

• Optimized frame design using FEM analysis
• Extra wide Y-shaped column for increased rigidity
• Ø32 mm C3 preloaded ball screws for high accuracy
• Available with Siemens, Fanuc or Heidenhain control
• High customization and automation possibilities

Knuth X.Mill T 700 SI

• The new X.mill series is ideally suited for streamlined and cost-effective series production
• The entire series is available with either a Siemens, Fanuc or Heidenhain control, so users can select the optimum control for their needs

Machine Design

• The X.mill series machine frame was developed using the most advanced FEM analysis software on the market
• The thorough analysis of the entire machine bed construction and wide column base resulted in a design that is optimized for all load conditions
• All axes move on premium, fully enclosed linear guideways and precision ball screws and are driven by dynamic servo-motors

Spindle

• The main spindle is supported by multiple bearings to ensure excellent absorption and dissipation of forces during machining
• The advanced design of our spindles ensure low heat accumulation under load
• Large pre-loaded bearings ensure radial stability during heavy-duty machining operations
• High-temperature lubricants ensure optimum lubrication at any operating temperature and a long tool life

Tool Changer

• The robust armless 20-station tool changer brings flexibility to everyday production operations
• An optional 30-station tool changer with dual-arm gripper is also available

Handling

• The totally enclosed workspace features a large door and side doors for easy access, safety and cleanliness
• Electrical equipment is divided into separate control cabinets for high and low voltage systems, which results in a significant reduction of heat accumulation and noise
• An electronic hand-wheel simplifies machine set-up
• The automatic central lubrication system ensures proper lubrication of all lube points
