Methods Machine Tools to Feature KIWA KMH-300 Compact HMC at WESTEC

“Methods Machine Tools, Inc., a leading supplier of innovative precision machine tools, automation and accessories with a premier distribution network, will be exhibiting in booth 1435 at WESTEC on September 15 - 17 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA. Methods will demonstrate seven machine tools and showcase the latest addition to the KIWA line, a new horizontal machining center (HMC), the KMH-300, a compact, direct drive model. The KIWA KMH-300 machine features a 30-Taper, 15,000 RPM, 12.6" (320 mm) dual pallet design suited for smaller shops. The KMH-300 has a compact footprint of 140" (3,556 mm) depth x 107" (2,718 mm) width, including the chip conveyor. Methods also has offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco, fully staffed with sales, service, application and factory engineers to provide the highest level of service to all customer needs,” said the company spokesperson.

Additional machines under power at WESTEC will include:

• The new Nakamura-Tome AS-200LMY-S sub-spindle machine that is a high performance multitasking turning center designed for value and power.

“It offers an upgraded long bed with sub-spindle and is equipped with a powerful milling drive, together with a high-speed, high accuracy C-axis and 82 mm stroke Y-axis that ensures accurate, finished parts and eliminates deburring, milling, drilling and re-positioning of fixtures,” stated the spokesperson.

• Nakamura Tome TW-20, an entry level multi-tasking machine offering two opposed spindles and two turret construction and a 12 station turret with half-index capability (48 total) and 24 milling tool stations.

• FEELER VMP-580, available in both regular and APC models, featuring linear guideways on X, Y and Z-axis, a 6 second pallet change time and a 15,000 RPM BIG-PLUS 40 taper spindle.

• FANUC RoboDrill a-D21SiA5, a compact vertical machining center capable of high speed, high precision and high efficiency operation. RoboDrill VMCs provide fast milling, drilling, tapping and ease of operation, said Methods.

• FANUC's RoboCut C400iA Wire EDM features Fanuc’s powerful 31i-WB control and automatic wire threader. Displayed on the machine will be the FANUC CCR submersible full 4th axis stainless rotary table. “FANUC EDMs are compact, extremely accurate, economical to own and easy to operate,” said the spokesperson. 

• Current EDM CT-300 drilling machine drills deep, accurate holes in hardened alloys using electrodes from .004" to .256" in diameter. “This is a powerful, compact machine that adds CNC flexibility to a shop,” said the spokesperson.

• Hanwha XE-20, an affordable machine with a gear type modular live tool, enhanced durability, strong and rigid tool post, and is easy to use, said Methods.
