Kitamura Machinery offers its Mycenter-HX500G horizontal machining center (HMC) for medium to large size parts that require flexibility in cutting capabilities.
Manufactured in Japan with hand scraping production techniques, the Mycenter-HX500G features solid box way construction with 2,362 IPM rapid feedrates, twin ballscrews and motors in the X and Y axes and linear scale feedback on all axes for stability and high accuracies of +/-0.000079" full stroke, +/-0.000039" repeatability.
"The Mycenter-HX500G is available in two spindle configurations, #40 or #50 taper, making it ideal for both lighter duty aluminum applications and those that require a heavier, more robust spindle for higher level accuracy, exotic part processing," said a company spokesperson. The #40, 20,000 RPM 4-step geared, dual contact spindle offers high speeds for high end, fine finish cutting requirements. The #50, 12,000 RPM 4-step geared, dual contact spindle utilizes 432.2 ft-lbs. of cutting torque for heavy-duty part machining. The energy efficient geared spindle design demonstrates savings of between 40% and 50% in Kilowatt-hours for increased productivity and savings, according to the company. HSK spindle designs are now an available option.
Kitamura's Mycenter-HX500G HMC offers a maximum workpiece size of 31.5Ø x 43.3" (Dia. x H) within a small footprint. High-speed rapid feedrates of 2,362 IPM on solid box ways are designed to boost overall work throughput. A standard 2-station APC is field expandable and is coupled with full 360° 4th axis capability with rotary scale for faster, more accurate production per pallet load.
A 50 tool fixed pot automatic tool changer is standard with upgrade capabilities of up to 200 tools in the field. According to the company, the advanced high-speed processing of the Arumatik-Mi controller allows for smoother and faster machining of the most complex workpieces with the potential to add 5th axis simultaneous machining capabilities on both pallets.
