KITAMURA MYCENTER 1XI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kitamura Mycenter 1Xi is a high-precision vertical machining center designed for versatile 3-axis CNC milling. It features a work envelope with 20 inches of X-axis travel, 14 inches on the Y-axis, and 16 inches on the Z-axis, allowing efficient machining of medium-sized parts. The machine is equipped with a 10 HP spindle delivering power through a BT-30 taper, supporting spindle speeds up to approximately 15,000 RPM for diverse cutting applications. Its work table measures 14 by 30 inches and can support workpieces up to 530 lbs, facilitating stable setup and handling of moderately heavy parts. The tool changer has a 20-tool capacity, enabling automatic tool switching to improve productivity and reduce downtime. Ancillary equipment includes a chip conveyor and a Dakin oil cooling system for effective chip removal and thermal management, enhancing machine longevity and machining accuracy. A pallet changer is integrated to further boost throughput by allowing quick workpiece changes. With overall dimensions of about 94" x 81" x 104" and weighing 8,200 lbs, this machine strikes a balance between workspace footprint and robust construction, providing excellent rigidity and stability during machining. It is controlled by a CNC controller equipped with features like tool broken detection and through-spindle coolant, supporting complex part production with high repeatability and precision. This VMC is widely utilized in aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing for milling, drilling, and finishing operations requiring consistent accuracy and reliability. Its combination of power, travel, and automation makes it suitable for complex, multi-step machining tasks within a compact footprint.
