How much does the Sharp KMA-2-CNC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Sharp KMA-2-CNC that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Take the table of the smallest KMA bed mill and put it on a bigger base: that is the Sharp KMA-2-CNC. The table is still 74.8 x 19.7 in (1900 x 500 mm), but travel grows to 59 in (1500 mm) in X, 26 in (660 mm) in Y and 23.6 in (600 mm) in Z, and the load rating rises to 4,400 lb (2,000 kg).
The larger casting shows up in three rows. Spindle center to column is 26.7 in (678 mm), so a wide plate can sit further under the spindle. Cutting height is 27.5 in (700 mm) with the spindle nose 5.9-29.5 in (150-750 mm) above the table, which leaves room for a tall fixture or an indexer. And net weight is 15,400 lb (6985 kg).
What has not changed is the cutting end. The KMA-2-CNC uses a No. 50 taper spindle, 18 geared speeds from 45 rpm to 1,500 rpm and a 10 hp (7.45 kW) motor, exactly as the KMA-1-CNC does. Axis motors are 3.3 hp (2.46 kW), and feeds reach 236 ipm.
There is no automatic tool changer. Sharp fits a power drawbar, an electro magnetic spindle brake and pneumatic locks on the table and saddle as standard, and offers linear scales on three axes and a table chip guard as options.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travel and capacity. The KMA-1-CNC travels 51.2 in (1300 mm), 22 in (558 mm) and 21.6 in (548 mm) and carries 3,500 lb (1587 kg). The KMA-2-CNC travels 59 in (1500 mm), 26 in (660 mm) and 23.6 in (600 mm) and carries 4,400 lb (2,000 kg). Table size, spindle and motors are the same.
02
Sharp lists the spindle nose to table top distance as 5.9-29.5 in (150-750 mm) and the cutting height as 27.5 in (700 mm). Z travel of the spindle head is 23.6 in (600 mm).
03
Not in standard form. The gearhead tops out at 1,500 rpm and both rapid traverse and feed are listed at up to 236 ipm. A 4,600 rpm variable speed head in lieu of the 1,500 rpm one is an optional accessory, but the machine is built around low-speed torque on a No. 50 taper.
04
A Fanuc OiMF control with AC servo drives and a 3-axis electronic handwheel (MPG), according to Sharp's feature list. The X, Y and Z axis motors are rated 3.3 hp (2.46 kW) and total power consumption is 25 kVA.
