KITAMURA HX300IG/400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kitamura HX300iG/400 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision, compact machine engineered for versatility and productivity in medium-sized part machining. It features a generous work envelope with travels of 18.1 inches (X), 20.1 inches (Y), and 22 inches (Z), and a 12-inch by 12-inch pallet accommodating diverse workpieces. A powerful 30-horsepower direct drive spindle operates at up to 15,000 RPM on a rigid NST No. 40 taper, providing the capability to machine a variety of materials with high accuracy. The machine boasts a standard 50-tool automatic tool changer, designed for ultra-fast tool changes, minimizing downtime, and can be field-expanded for greater capacity. Its construction uses Meehanite castings with hand scraping for rigidity and precision, supported by linear scale feedback on all axes to ensure positioning accuracy of ±0.000079 inches and repeatability of ±0.000039 inches. The HX300iG/400 includes a high-speed, high-torque spindle combined with a patented twin ballscrew drive system for smooth, stable motion and rapid feed rates up to 2,362 inches per minute, enhancing cutting efficiency. Additional features include a 4th axis rotary table as standard, ballscrew cooling, and a dual-contact spindle design for durability and thermal stability. This machine is optimized for high-production environments with automation-ready options such as pallet changers and expandable tool capacity, all within a compact footprint that balances power, precision, and versatility in horizontal machining applications.
