Horizontal Machining Center for Medium to Large Parts



Kitamura Machinery has introduced the Mycenter-HX400G Horizontal Machining Center, built for medium to large size parts that require higher levels of accuracy and productivity. Manufactured in Japan with hand scraping production techniques, the machine features accuracies of ±0.000079" full stroke, ±0.000039" repeatability.

Fast rapids of 60 m/min (2,362 IPM) on solid box guideways are achieved. The Mycenter-HX400G also features a Meehanite cast construction.

A standard 2-station APC is field expandable and is coupled with full 360° 4th axis capability enhanced by direct drive motor technology with 125 RPM (45,000 deg/min) rapid feed and 15 HP/2,640 Nm (1,947 ft-lbs.) rotation torque. Increased clamping power is designed for high levels of stability, rigidity and accuracy with no backlash.

The Mycenter-HX400G utilizes a high speed 15,000 RPM spindle with dual contact spindle to easily handle high velocity machining on a wide range of materials. Kitamura's Intelligent Advanced Control System coupled with spindle oil-cooling unit promote efficiency and reduce heat displacement while allowing for enhanced cutting gains in precision cutting operations. An optional 20,000 RPM spindle offers fast acceleration rates.

A high-speed (1.3 second T-T) 50 tool "fixed pot" automatic tool changer is standard with upgrade capabilities of up to 300 tools in the field. The advanced high speed processing of the Arumatik-Mi controller is engineered for smooth and fast machining of complex workpieces with the potential to add 5th axis simultaneous machining capabilities on both pallets as an option. Icon CNC operation is completely customizable and offers the user visual work setting screens.
