KITAMURA MYCENTER-HX300IG/400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Kitamura MYCENTER-HX300IG/400 is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in demanding production environments. Featuring a robust 12.0" x 12.0" table and a 3-axis configuration with travels of 18.1" (X), 20.1" (Y), and 22.0" (Z), this machine delivers a large work envelope in a compact footprint. The horizontal spindle utilizes an NST#40 taper and offers a standard top speed of 15,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 20,000 RPM, powered by a 30 HP (30-minute rating) dual-contact direct drive system for exceptional rigidity and versatility in machining exotic materials. Tool management is handled by a 50-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 200 tools, with rapid tool change times of 1.3 seconds (tool-to-tool) and 2.5 seconds (chip-to-chip). The machine is equipped with a standard 2-pallet changer for increased automation and productivity. All three axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 2,362 ipm, ensuring fast cycle times and high throughput. Advanced features include ballscrew cooling, linear scale feedback for enhanced accuracy, and a high-resolution built-in rotary encoder for precise positioning. The MYCENTER-HX300IG/400 is engineered for reliability, accuracy, and adaptability, making it ideal for complex, high-production machining applications.
