2018 KITAMURA MYCENTER VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2018 Kitamura Mycenter is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing Kitamura's compact precision machining platform, designed for high-accuracy small to medium part production in a rigid, space-efficient design. Constructed on a Meehanite cast iron base and column, the machine provides excellent thermal stability and vibration damping suited for precision finishing operations. The compact worktable accommodates small to medium workpieces within the machine's controlled axis travel envelope, with ball screw drives on all three axes ensuring accurate, repeatable positioning. The high-frequency spindle delivers competitive RPM for small-diameter tooling and precision contour work. The Kitamura Arumatik or Fanuc CNC control provides standard G-code programming, rigid tapping, canned cycles, and optional DNC networking. An automatic tool changer supports multi-operation programs with minimal operator intervention. The machine's compact footprint makes it suitable for shops where floor space is at a premium while still requiring full CNC vertical machining capability. Full enclosure splash guarding and integrated coolant management are standard features. The Mycenter's build quality reflects Kitamura's commitment to accuracy retention over long service lives, making it a practical choice for precision mold components, medical device parts, and high-tolerance production work where long-term dimensional stability is essential.
