Kitamura HX400i SII HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kitamura HX400i SII is a high-performance horizontal machining center equipped with a Fanuc 16iMB CNC control system featuring a 10.4" color LCD screen for advanced operational precision and ease of use. It incorporates a powerful 20,000 RPM two-step geared dual contact spindle, allowing for exceptional speed and rigidity during high-speed machining operations. The machine features a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling efficient tool management and continuous production with quick tool swapping. It offers rapid feed rates of up to 1969 inches per minute (IPM) across the X, Y, and Z axes, facilitating fast positioning and reduced cycle times. The robust work envelope includes travels of approximately 660 mm (X), 610 mm (Y), and 560 mm (Z), complemented by a full rotary 4th axis table with 0.001° indexing accuracy, enhancing the machine’s capability for complex multi-axis machining. The pallet system supports a pallet size of 400 mm x 400 mm with a maximum load capacity of 400 kg, capable of handling sizable parts up to 700 mm in diameter and 960 mm in height. Additional features include CAT 40 spindle taper compatibility, a rapid pallet change time of around 5 seconds, and strong spindle motor power around 14.9 kW (20 HP) generating torque up to approximately 270 Nm. The HX400i SII delivers solid box guideways, ballscrew cooling, and thermal compensation systems to maintain high precision and repeatability, making it ideal for diverse, high-accuracy manufacturing applications in aerospace, automotive, and general machining sectors. Its combination of speed, precision, and automation readiness ensures high productivity and versatile machining capability.
