KITAMURA HX-300IF HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kitamura HX-300iF is a precision horizontal machining center designed for high-throughput production environments. This four-axis CNC machine features robust travels of 18 inches on the X-axis, 20 inches on the Y-axis, and 22 inches on the Z-axis, accommodating mid-sized workpieces with excellent accessibility. Powered by a 30-horsepower spindle capable of reaching 15,000 RPM, the machine delivers consistent cutting performance across diverse materials and applications. The CAT-40 taper spindle ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard tooling. The 50-tool automatic tool changer minimizes setup time and enables complex multi-operation sequences without manual intervention. The machine accommodates two 12-inch by 12-inch pallets with rapid indexing capabilities, facilitating efficient pallet pool operations and reducing cycle times. The full fourth-axis rotary indexing system provides complete 360-degree capability with high precision, enabling complex angular operations and multi-sided machining in a single setup. Advanced features include high-pressure through-spindle coolant delivery for superior chip evacuation and surface finish, an integrated chip conveyor for automated swarf removal, and a Fanuc 16i-MB CNC control system offering intuitive programming and reliable operation. The machine's horizontal configuration significantly reduces setup time compared to vertical alternatives while delivering superior chip management and dimensional accuracy. Its rigid box-way construction makes it ideal for aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and precision job-shop applications requiring consistent repeatability and productivity.
