KITAMURA HX-250IG HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Kitamura Mycenter HX250iG is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision small-to-medium part production. It features a 10" x 10" work table with controlled travel of 12" in the X and Y axes and 13" in the Z axis, providing adequate workspace for intricate machining operations. The machine is equipped with an NST No. 30 spindle taper (BT 30 compatible) and delivers spindle speeds ranging from 150 to 15,000 RPM, with optional 30,000 RPM capability for high-speed finishing operations. The 40-piece automatic tool changer enables rapid tool changes in approximately 1.2 seconds tool-to-tool, minimizing production downtime. Rapid traverse rates reach 2,362 inches per minute across all axes, facilitating efficient non-cutting movements. The machine utilizes an Arumatik Mi CNC control system with advanced contour control capabilities, supporting 1,280 meters of program memory and high-speed block processing. Driven by an 11 kW (approximately 15 HP) motor, the machine achieves positioning accuracy of ±0.000078" with repeatability of ±0.000039", ensuring dimensional consistency for tight-tolerance components. The full 4th axis rotary pallet system enables complex multi-sided machining without manual repositioning. Overall dimensions of 91.7" x 116.1" (width x depth) with 97.2" height and a net weight of 4,500 kg make it suitable for shop floor integration where space is a consideration.
