Kitamura Machinery, manufacturer of precision horizontal, vertical and 5-axis machining centers, has introduced the Mycenter-HX800G horizontal machining center (HMC), delivering the precision, accuracy and repeatability required to produce close tolerance parts from the toughest of materials. "Consistent accuracies of ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in.)/full stroke and ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in.) repeatability are guaranteed," said a Kitamura spokesperson. Net weight is 28,400 kg (62,480 lbs).
Use of proven techniques such as induction hardened solid box way construction, hand-scraping of all mating surfaces and 4-step gear driven spindles all contribute to enhanced results and stability when machining larger heavy-duty parts for the automotive, oil and gas machinery, aerospace and heavy machinery industries.
Solid box ways and high grade Meehanite cast construction provide increased vibration absorption capabilities for improved surface quality, elevating finish capabilities and overall life of cutting tools.
Extended XYZ travels of 1,550 mm (61.0"), 1,300 mm (51.2") and 1,400 mm (55.1") showcase Kitamura's patented twin ballscrew and servo motor technology on all axes, delivering 60 m/min (2,362 IPM) rapid rates on solid box ways. Work envelope is O1,525 mm (O60.0") x 1,550 mm (61.0") high.
The machine features a large, easy to access work envelope and 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.
The Mycenter-HX800G comes standard with a 54 HP, 12,000 RPM 4-step geared, dual contact spindle delivering 586 Nm (432.1 ft-lbs.) of max. torque for large drill/tap applications as well as those applications that require heavy material removal, combined with high RPM for fine finish capabilities in a single set-up. An optional 8,000 RPM high torque spindle is an available option with output max torque of 1,226 Nm (904.2 ft-lbs.). The dual contact design offers the benefits of greater machining rigidity, improved surface finishes, higher cutting accuracy and extended cutting tool life.
The Mycenter-HX800G comes standard with full 360° 4th axis simultaneous machining capabilities needed to machine complex, multi-sided parts, reducing set up time. In addition, Kitamura's 2-station automatic pallet changer allows for the loading of parts while machining - improving spindle cutting time while allowing for in-process verification of component quality.
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 the most complex workpieces. Software upgrades are available throughout the life of the control.
