Structure Design
Incorporating a 30° slant wedge saddle design and a robust heavy-duty foundation, we have strategically optimized the overall machine structure's rigidity, specifically focusing on enhancing the stability of the headstock, turret, and tailstock components. At KAIFENF MACHINERY, our unwavering commitment to quality is exemplified by our exclusive use of MIT castings, ensuring the highest standards of quality assurance for our users. We place a strong emphasis on delivering enduring precision in metal cutting and extending the lifespan of cutting tools.
Linear Slideway
The implementation of linear slideways effectively reduces friction while simultaneously offering exceptional positioning accuracy. From an after-sales maintenance perspective, the linear guideway is relatively user-friendly, allowing for straightforward maintenance by simply replacing the sliding blocks and slideway components to restore optimal performance.
Ball Screw
All our products are equipped with C3 class ball screws, ensuring precise and high positioning accuracy. We employ a ball screw pretension design across all axes to effectively minimize the need for backlash compensation in the machine body. This results in exceptional repeatability and positioning accuracy.
Spindle
The headstocks of all our products feature one-piece castings. We install high-precision bearings from NSK/TNT, renowned for their capacity to withstand heavy bearing loads, delivering exceptional precision and durability performance.
Turret
Our interior mechanism utilizes a flat parallel cam, renowned for its high indexing accuracy and rapid tool changing capabilities. The turret disk rotation is driven by an oil pressure motor, offering substantial cutting torque, and enhancing overall performance stability. This design accommodates both heavy and light cutting requirements.

More
Bar Feeder
The optional automatic bar feeder enhances productivity by reducing material feeding time. It imposes no limitations on spindle speed or material shape.
Various feeding torques can be applied to accommodate different material diameters, weights, and lengths, preventing material deformation.
Tool Presetter
The optional Renishaw or Marposs tool probe accessory significantly boosts production output and minimizes machine idle time. It precisely measures cutting tool length and diameter, providing solutions for tool setting, broken tool detection, component setup, in-cycle gauging, and initial component inspection, with automatic offset updates.
Parts Catcher
Parts catcher automatically receives the finished parts. To provide easy access to the finished parts without going through the trouble of opening the machine door. High efficiency and operator friendly.
Gantry Loading and Unloading System
A Gantry Loading/Unloading System, when used with a CNC machine, is an automated material handling system designed to load and unload workpieces into and out of the lathe's work area. It consists of a gantry or robotic arm with grippers or tooling specifically designed for handling workpieces.
Here's how it works:
1. Loading: The Gantry Loading and Unloading System picks up a raw workpiece (usually from a pallet or conveyor system) and precisely places it into the CNC lathe's chuck or collet. This process is automated and eliminates the need for manual loading by an operator.
2. Machining: The CNC lathe performs its machining operations on the workpiece, such as turning, drilling, and milling, as programmed.
3. Unloading: After machining is complete, the Gantry Loading and Unloading System retrieves the finished workpiece from the lathe's chuck or collet.
4. Transport: Depending on the setup, the system may transport the finished workpiece to another location for further processing, quality inspection, or packaging.
The advantages of a Gantry Loading and Unloading System for CNC machines include:
- Increased Productivity: Automation reduces downtime between machining operations, leading to higher throughput and productivity.
- Consistency: Automated systems provide consistent and precise handling of workpieces, reducing the risk of errors compared to manual handling.
- Reduced Labor Costs: Operators are freed up to perform more skilled tasks or oversee multiple machines, reducing the need for dedicated machine tenders.
- Improved Safety: Reducing manual handling of heavy or awkward workpieces enhances workplace safety.
- 24/7 Operation: Automated systems can run continuously, allowing for unmanned machining during nights or weekends.
Overall, a Gantry Loading and Unloading System enhances the efficiency and productivity of CNC machine operations, making it a valuable addition to manufacturing facilities with high-volume production requirements.
