Kitamura MYCENTER-3020G/20K VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a 33.9" x 19.7" work table with a standard rotary table for enhanced workpiece positioning flexibility. The machine is equipped with a vertical NST#40 spindle delivering 30 HP at a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM, enabling aggressive material removal across various applications. The three-axis configuration provides substantial travel ranges: 30" on the X-axis, 20.1" on both Y and Z axes, with rapid traverse rates reaching 1,969 IPM across all three axes for efficient cycle time reduction. The automatic tool changer accommodates 30 tools with rapid tool change times of 2.2 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 4.4 seconds, maximizing productivity during multi-tool operations. A standard two-pallet changer enables continuous production workflows by allowing workpiece loading on one pallet while machining occurs on another. Optional 4-axis capability provides additional machining versatility for complex part geometries. This machine configuration is well-suited for precision aerospace, automotive, and mold-making applications requiring high-speed spindle performance and rapid tool changes. The combination of high spindle speed, substantial axis travels, and fast pallet exchange capabilities makes this center ideal for job shops and production environments demanding efficiency and precision in short to medium-run manufacturing.
