KHS-1400/T 5-Axis Universal Machining Centers for Aerospace
Kent CNC’s 5-axis horizontal machining centers are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of aerospace manufacturing. Built for high-precision machining of complex parts, these machines offer superior rigidity, high-torque spindles, and full 5-axis contouring—ideal for titanium, Inconel, and other aerospace superalloys.
For jobs that require higher surface feet per minute (SFM), our unusually high-speed rotary tables deliver the RPM needed to turn small or large parts efficiently—making them especially effective for aluminum and other non-ferrous materials.
Whether you’re producing turbine components, structural frames, or precision fittings, our aerospace-grade HMCs deliver unmatched accuracy, surface finish, and cycle time efficiency. Backed by decades of engineering excellence, Kent CNC machines are the trusted solution for aerospace manufacturers seeking advanced 5-axis capabilities.
Product Highlights
- Engineered for Aerospace Superalloy Processing
Designed with a high-power, high-torque spindle, this machine significantly boosts material removal rates—dramatically reducing overall machining time. - High-Rigidity T-Shaped Structure
The base features an inverted dual V-shaped rib design, ensuring optimal force flow distribution. Full-length support of the X-axis travel prevents deflection and sagging due to gravity, maintaining superior surface finish and workpiece accuracy. - High-Speed Dual Ball Screw Drive on All Axes
The X, Y, and Z axes are driven by dual high-speed ball screws. This configuration ensures alignment between the center of motion and the center of mass, effectively minimizing vibration and enhancing machining precision. - Fully Enclosed Splash Guard
Minimizes noise while effectively containing chips and coolant, ensuring a cleaner and safer work environment. - High-Torque B-Axis Clamping System
With a clamping torque of 6,000 Nm, this robust system delivers exceptional rigidity for demanding machining operations. - AGA Spindle – Purpose-Built for Superalloy Processing
Equipped with a high-torque spindle (up to 500 Nm, optional), this configuration is specially designed for efficient, stable cutting of tough superalloys.
