Methods Machine Tools (Sudbury, MA) introduces the KMH-300A Direct Drive model. The machine features a 40-Taper, 12,000 RPM, 12.6-inch (320 mm) dual pallet, perfect for small automotive part machining and general job shop parts that require 40 taper tooling.
Methods Machine Tools is offering additional options, such as rotary tables integrated into the KIWA Horizontal machines as well as pallet shuttling capabilities to enable the 4-Axis machine to have 5-Axis capacity.
Another available option is the addition of Tombstones with multiple rotary heads to give the machine 5-Axis capability. When using multiple rotary heads, several parts can be worked on in one cycle, enabling longer, unattended running times. The rotary heads have pallets, which allow a faster, more efficient changeovers between jobs.
