KITAMURA MYCENTER-HX1000I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kitamura MyCenter-HX1000i is a robust horizontal machining center engineered for heavy-duty, multi-face production machining. Its horizontal spindle orientation promotes efficient chip evacuation through a dedicated chip conveyor system, maintaining superior tool life and surface finish while minimizing manual intervention. The machine features dual integrated pallets enabling simultaneous loading and unattended production cycles, significantly reducing part cycle times and maximizing spindle utilization. Equipped with a full 4th-axis continuous rotary table, the HX1000i accommodates complex multi-sided components without additional setup repositioning. The 39.37-inch pallet indexing combined with generous axis travel—80.31 inches X, 51.97 inches Y, and 53.94 inches Z—supports large prismatic workpieces typical in aerospace and industrial applications. Its 40 HP spindle delivers 8,000 RPM with BT50 taper, providing high torque for heavy cutting operations. The 150-tool chain-type automatic tool changer minimizes spindle downtime between operations, while 1,000 PSI high-pressure coolant enhances machining precision and surface quality. Rapid traverse and cutting feed rates of 1,417 IPM enable accelerated non-cutting movements and optimized material removal rates. This configuration represents a production-focused horizontal machining center suited for high-volume manufacturing requiring dimensional accuracy and complex geometries across multiple faces without frequent part repositioning.
