Kitamura H400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1999 Kitamura Mycenter H400 is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-volume production and complex multi-axis operations. This compact CNC machine features dual 15.7" x 15.7" pallets with 0.001-degree indexing capability, enabling seamless part transfers and continuous production workflows. The machine delivers robust machining capacity with X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 24.02", 20.08", and 20.08" respectively, supporting workpieces up to 880 pounds on each pallet. The spindle system incorporates a BT #40 taper with variable speeds ranging from 20 to 10,000 RPM, powered by a 20 horsepower AC motor that delivers reliable torque for diverse cutting operations. Equipped with a 100-position automatic tool changer featuring rapid 1.7-second tool exchange times and 949 IPM rapid traverse rates, the H400 maximizes productivity through minimal downtime. The pallet change cycle completes in approximately 10 seconds, facilitating fast part removal and loading. The machine utilizes FANUC 15M CNC control, providing advanced programming capabilities and real-time machine monitoring. Additional features include precision spindle taper nose positioning ranging from 2" to 21.8" above the table surface, accommodating various work-holding configurations. Built on a rigid structure weighing 22,000 pounds, the H400 maintains dimensional stability and repeatability across extended production runs. The machine occupies approximately 15' x 8' of floor space with a 10' height clearance requirement, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and precision component manufacturing applications requiring reliable horizontal machining performance.
