KITAMURA HX-500G HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Kitamura HX-500G Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for high-precision, high-productivity machining of large and complex workpieces. Featuring a robust 19.7" x 19.7" table and generous travel of 34.3" (X), 31.5" (Y), and 36.6" (Z), it accommodates parts up to 800 kg and offers an expansive work envelope for multi-face and heavy-duty applications. The machine is equipped with a powerful NST No. 50 spindle, delivering 8,000 rpm via a 4-step gear drive for exceptional torque and rigidity, ideal for tough materials and demanding cuts. With a 100-tool chain-type automatic tool changer, tool change times are minimized to just 2.1 seconds (T-T) and 4.8 seconds (C-C), significantly boosting throughput. Rapid feed rates reach 2,362 ipm, ensuring swift positioning and reduced non-cutting time. The HX-500G is powered by a 55 KVA electrical system, supporting high-torque operations up to 904 lb-ft, while a high-pressure chipblaster at 1,000 PSI maintains optimal cutting conditions. Precision is enhanced by a 16-million pulse encoder, providing superior feedback and accuracy for intricate machining tasks. Solid boxway construction, combined with advanced control systems, ensures stability, repeatability, and long-term reliability. This machine is designed for maximum efficiency, flexibility, and performance in demanding production environments.
