Large Capacity 5-Axis VMC



Kitamura Machinery has introduced its largest 5-axis machining center yet, the Mytrunnion-7G offering full 5-axis simultaneous machining for large-part machining (up to a 46" swing).

The Mytrunnion-7G has been designed specifically for moving large masses at very high levels of speed while holding high level accuracies of ±0.00079"/full stroke and repeatability ±0.000039". "The design coupled with craftsmanship in handscraping techniques, offers enhanced tool life," said a company spokesperson.

Mytrunnion-7G offers an extra-large work envelope of O46.1" x 29.1" high and a table load capacity of 4,440 lbs. to process substantial, weighty parts in a single set-up. The Mytrunnion-7G incorporates an A-axis tilting trunnion table (-120 to +30°) and a rotary C-axis (360°) with a 0.001° minimum indexing command. Linear scale feedback is standard on the X-, Y- and Z-axes, as well as the tilting and rotary axes. "The trunnion design allows for maximum stiffness and flexibility with the ability to position the workpiece closer to the spindle," said the spokesperson.

Standard is a #50 taper, high torque 20-12,000 RPM four-step gear driven, dual contact spindle built for a greater output range under a variety of cutting conditions, allowing for a high range of applications on a variety of exotic materials. The 54 HP/AC spindle motor offers max cutting torque of 432.1 ft.-lbs. The rigid construction of the O100 mm spindle bearing is designed for longer tool life, greater machining rigidity, reduced vibration and fine finish capabilities.

The Mytrunnion-7G has a standard 60-tool high speed ATC located toward the side of the machine allowing for the economical machining of more complex parts and, in general, multiple jobs or small short run part lots.

Kitamura offers the user an easily customizable icon driven touchscreen whereby unique icon characters and apps are designed for faster and easier methods of part set-up and processing for increased productivity. "Designed for 5-axis machining, Kitamura's very own Arumatik-Mi control promotes super-fast, super smooth control processing for faster machining of complex workpieces. Remote monitoring screens, electronic machine manuals, tool breakage detection and collision safety functions all work in tandem to monitor machine performance and ensure uptime," said the spokesperson.
