2005 KITAMURA MYCENTER3XIH VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2005 Kitamura Mycenter-3XiH is a 3-axis vertical machining center built on Kitamura's proven mid-size fixed-column platform, configured with a high-torque spindle variant optimized for heavy cutting applications. The machine shares its core architecture with the 3Xi series, featuring a Meehanite cast iron structure for maximum rigidity and thermal stability. The worktable measures approximately 16.14 by 35.4 inches with axis travels of 29.9 inches in X, 17.9 inches in Y, and 18.1 inches in Z. The H-suffix designates the high-torque spindle configuration, which reaches 10,000 RPM with 15 HP continuous output and a CAT-40 taper. This configuration provides the torque characteristics required for aggressive material removal in steel, stainless, and high-temperature alloys where spindle torque rather than top-end speed is the primary performance requirement. The Fanuc 16i-series CNC control provides full look-ahead interpolation, rigid tapping, and high-speed machining cycles. Precision ball screws on all axes with preloaded angular contact bearings deliver accurate, repeatable positioning. A 30-tool side-mount automatic tool changer enables multi-step production without manual intervention. The machine weighs approximately 10,500 to 12,000 lbs with a compact overall footprint approximately 108 by 101 by 112 inches high. The Mycenter-3XiH is well suited for production machining of ferrous materials where removal rate and tool life are primary considerations.
