Used KAFO VMC-1688 CNC Machining Center

Used KAFO VMC-1688 CNC vertical machining center from Taiwan, equipped with a FANUC Series 0i-MD CNC control, BT50 spindle and 6000 rpm gear-head spindle. With 1600 × 880 × 700 mm XYZ travel, a large 1800 × 950 mm worktable and 2500 kg table load capacity, this heavy-duty VMC is well suited for large molds, tooling, machinery components and demanding metal-cutting applications.

The machine is currently available as pre-owned equipment, offering manufacturers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new large-capacity CNC machining center.

Technical Specifications

Applications & Suitable Industries

The used KAFO VMC-1688 CNC machining center is designed for machining medium-to-large and relatively heavy workpieces. Its box-way construction, BT50 tooling, 2500 kg table capacity and gear-head spindle make it particularly attractive for applications where rigidity and heavy cutting capability are more important than extremely high spindle speed. KAFO itself describes this VMC series as suitable for large workpieces and heavy cutting.

Typical applications include mold and die manufacturing, large machinery components, automotive parts, aerospace components, industrial equipment parts, fixtures and tooling, steel and cast-iron machining, general precision engineering, and large plate or structural component machining. KAFO also identifies general precision machinery, automotive, mold-processing and aerospace applications for this VMC series.

For buyers currently using smaller 850, 1060, 1160 or 1370-class vertical machining centers, the 1600 mm X-axis travel and 1800 × 950 mm table provide considerably more working space for larger components.
