KITAMURA HX-300IH HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The KITAMURA HX-300IH is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for precision component manufacturing across aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. This four-axis machine features a rigid #40-taper spindle capable of 20,000 RPM maximum speed with 18 horsepower output, delivering the cutting power necessary for complex multi-operation parts in a space-efficient footprint. The machine provides generous work envelopes with X, Y, and Z-axis travel distances of 20, 20, and 19.2 inches respectively, supported by robust Meehanite cast construction weighing 19,580 pounds for exceptional rigidity and stability. The standard 40-station automatic tool changer minimizes non-cutting time through rapid tool changes, while the full 4th axis rotary table enables sophisticated multi-face machining without repositioning. Twin 12x12-inch pallets accommodate diverse workpiece geometries and facilitate pallet rotation for continuous production cycles. Equipped with FANUC CNC control architecture, the machine delivers high-precision contour control with advanced look-ahead processing capabilities. The integrated coolant system and efficient chip evacuation ensure optimal tool life and extended spindle performance. Through-spindle coolant delivery further enhances machining capabilities for demanding applications requiring superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. This machine excels at fabricating intricate gears, precision brackets, and complex cylindrical components from steel, aluminum, and composite materials while maintaining consistent quality across high-volume production environments.
