KITAMURA HX400I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kitamura HX400i is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for high-productivity manufacturing of mid-sized components. This four-axis machine features a robust CAT 40 spindle delivering 13,000 RPM with 30 horsepower, enabling efficient cutting across diverse materials and applications. The work envelope spans 28.93 inches (X-axis), 24.01 inches (Y-axis), and 24.01 inches (Z-axis), accommodating workpieces up to 27.5 inches in diameter and 37.8 inches in height with a maximum table load capacity of 882 pounds. The dual 15.7-inch square pallets enable uninterrupted production through rapid automatic indexing, with full 360-degree B-axis rotary capability for complex multi-face machining. The 50-tool automatic tool changer with CAT 40 taper reduces setup time and maximizes throughput, while tool change time of approximately 1 second minimizes cycle interruptions. Rapid traverse rates reach 50,000 mm/min across all axes, enhancing overall machine efficiency. Equipped with FANUC 16i-MB CNC control featuring a 10.4-inch color LCD screen, the HX400i provides intuitive operation and advanced programming capabilities. The machine's substantial 28,700-pound construction with precision box guideways and ballscrew cooling ensures superior rigidity and thermal stability for consistent accuracy. At 165 inches long, 105 inches wide, and 120 inches high, this machine combines compact footprint with expansive capabilities, making it ideal for precision job shops and production facilities requiring versatile horizontal machining solutions.
