KM4X

KM4X KM4X™ is the lastest version of the KM™ spindle interface targeted at heavy-duty machining. Make it your first choice for machining large, structural tough-to-machine materials like titanium for the aerospace industry.

Product offering includes rotating adapters and static tooling for the heavy-duty machining markets. Also included are spindle component packages and static clamping units for turning and mill-turn operations.

The KM4X 4-ball spindle interface provides 3x more bending capability than comparable face-contact systems. The greater the bending capacity, the more you can utilize the capability of your machine and cutting tools in tough materials like titanium and in heavy machining.

You'll also boost metal removal rates for better overall machine production and reduced manufacturing costs.

The new screw-on KM4X is designed for high stability, and the clamping method ensures face contact to create a rigid connection. The universal design enables old-style tools to be used interchangeably with new styles and many competitor screw-on cutters and extensions.

Why you'll like KM4X:

Get the most rigid connection able to withstand high bending due to a high interference / high clamping forces combination
Heavy-duty, rigid connection, and 3X more bending capacity than comparable face contact systems
KM is the only connection that maintains stiffness at elevated rotational speeds and is suitable for a range of applications from low speeds with high torque to very high spindle speeds
Balanced by design for higher spindle speeds
Retrofit KM4X to an existing machine tool means better advantage of increasing throughput
