Technical Description
The 2013 Kitamura HX-250G Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance CNC machine engineered for precision and efficiency in complex component manufacturing. Featuring a compact footprint of 111.5" x 116.1" x 89.9" H and weighing approximately 12,000 lbs, this machine delivers robust construction and reliable operation. The HX-250G offers X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 12", 12", and 13" respectively, providing a generous work envelope for its class. Its 15 HP, 15,000 RPM spindle with BT-30 taper ensures high-speed, high-torque cutting capability, ideal for demanding machining tasks. The machine is equipped with a 40-position tool magazine, supporting a wide range of tooling options for versatile production needs. The pallet system features two 10" x 10" pallets, enabling rapid workpiece changeover with an APC change time of just 8 seconds, maximizing uptime and productivity. The Kitamura Arumatik-MI 4-axis CNC control system provides advanced programming and operational flexibility, while the full 4th axis expands machining capabilities for complex geometries. Rapid feed rates of 2,362 IPM on X, Y, and Z axes, and a B-axis rapid feed of 33.3 RPM, ensure swift and efficient movement. The machine supports a maximum workpiece diameter of 13.8" and a height of 15.8", accommodating a broad range of part sizes. Additional features include coolant through the spindle at 220 PSI, a chip conveyor, and a cutting feed rate matching the rapid feed for consistent performance. This HX-250G is a versatile, high-speed solution for precision horizontal machining.
