Kitamura Machinery has introduced the all-new high-speed, compact #40 horizontal machining center (HMC) - Mycenter-HX300iG. "This machining center is 20% smaller than our 400 mm without sacrificing power, accuracy or reliability," said a company spokesperson.
Manufactured in Japan with craftsmanship in hand scraping techniques and high-speed rapids of 2,362 IPM, the Mycenter-HX3000iG offers high productivity and heavy cutting capability in an 8' x 12' footprint.
Meehanite cast construction provides vibration absorption capabilities for improved surface quality, enhancing finishing capabilities and cutting tool life.
A two-station APC is automation ready and field expandable up to eight pallets for unmanned operation potential. The standard full 4th axis rotary table is newly designed with a direct drive motor enabling speeds of 150 RPM (54,000 deg/min) rapids, reducing part cycle times, eliminating backlash and providing a firm, rigid machining platform. High resolution direct rotary encoder scale feedback minimizes displacement even at outer edges of the table limit.
The large work envelope features a max. work diameter of 500 mm (o19.7") x 745 mm (29.3") high and one piece, easy grip sliding doors, large windows and door openings along with easy spindle access. All combine to reduce and simplify operator workload and help to promote a safe work environment.
A 50-tool fixed pot ATC allows for the addition of up to 200 tools in the field. With the fixed pot tools are always returned to the same pot, and the next tool to be used is kept in a stand-by pot. The 1.3 second tool change time contributes to overall cycle time reduction.
Standard is a 30 HP, 15,000 RPM, #40 taper, dual contact spindle that has the ability to handle a variety of exotic materials and offers enhanced speed and performance. An optional high-speed 20,000 RPM spindle is available, further minimizing out-of-cut time.
"Ultra-high precision means outstanding positioning accuracy of ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 inch)/full stroke with 67 million pulse encoder technology - delivering 67 times finer resolution, 67 times better finish accuracy all day long," said the spokesperson. "Superb reliability is paramount in high production environments, and the Mycenter-HX300iG brings it with ballscrew cooling in all axes and state-of-the-art fine resolution (10 nanometer) optical linear scale feedback in XYZ linear axes."
Kitamura's interactive touchscreen icon-driven Arumatik-Mi control offers user-friendly features, such as on-demand "HELP" guidance, visual work setting, maintenance support functions and a 19" swivel color LCD to easily guide the user in a completely customizable control environment. SSS Control delivers high speed processing of 270 m/min feed with 1 mm/block, 4,500 blocs/sec for smoother and faster machining of complex workpieces. Software upgrades are available throughout the life of the control so operators always have the latest CNC technology.
