FAQ
KH-500 Questions
Answers to common questions about the KH-500.
One pallet loads or unloads while the other machines, so the spindle rarely sits idle waiting on an operator — most shops recover several hours of spindle time per shift once they're running two pallets in rotation.
Typically 10-14 weeks build-to-order; we confirm your exact ship date once your configuration and options are finalized at quote stage.
Yes — our applications engineers develop and prove out your first pallet-changing program in the Vaughan Tech Centre before delivery, so you're running production on day one, not day thirty.
460V three-phase is standard, roughly 35 kVA depending on options; our install team confirms exact requirements from the machine's nameplate before your site visit.

KH-630
The KH-630 steps up to a 630 x 630 mm pallet, a BT50 spindle and a 60-station magazine for shops running heavier castings and higher-volume multi-face parts than the KH-500 is sized for. Its 26 kW spindle delivers 340 Nm of torque for steel and cast-iron roughing, while the same 2-station pallet changer architecture keeps the spindle cutting instead of waiting on a manual load. We typically move customers up to the KH-630 when their part size or their annual volume outgrows a 500 mm pallet — it's a straightforward upgrade path because the Kaizora Nexa 5 control and programming approach carry over directly from the KH-500.
