Rock-Solid Castings Our machining centers feature a combination of superior Table Traverse design and top quality construction. Top Quality Meehanite construction Table Traverse Design eliminates tool interference and provides for full multi-axis machining because the spindle is always within the workpiece contact range, even at the extreme X, Y & Z stroke limits Peak accuracy - no compound axis error Solid Boxways Kitamura Machining Centers feature Full Surface Contact Hardened Solid Box Ways with a 5 year warranty. They deliver unrivaled rigidity and won’t stress even under heavy cutting conditions. It’s your assurance of long-term peak machining accuracy. Up to 1,969 ipm feedrates Mirror-Finish Surface for unparalleled accuracy (less than 0.003mm surface roughness) Way Wipers eliminate damage to guideways by chips Premium Grade Components Throughout The best components make the best machines. Ballscrews, spindles, gearing, servomotors...you’ll find only premium grade components on a Kitamura. This dedication to quality, fit and finish delivers unmatched machining accuracy, speed and flexibility. Fine-pitch Ballscrews and high-resolution servomotors deliver unparalleled accuracy Multi-Step Geared Spindles deliver machining flexibility – high low-end torque for tough cuts and high rpms for fine-finish capability High-grade electronics and electrical components assure reliability Advanced lubrication delivery systems maximize mechanical component life High-Performance Spindle Kitamura’s spindles deliver “best-in-class” performance. Available in up to 4-step geared configurations they deliver strong low-end torque and high-end fine finish capability. It’s like getting two machines for the price of one! Rigid dual-contact design stands up to the toughest cutting conditions High-speed tapping functions Spindle heat displacement system Advanced Tool Handling Kitamura’s exclusive Fixed Pot ATC provides a host of benefits you won’t find on competitive machining centers High-volume tool storage capacity - up to 200 tools Tools are always returned to the same tool pot. The tool magazine keeps the next tool in a standby pot for fast, efficient tool change Large diameter tools and spindle adapters (angular heads, spindle speed changers and large U-axis heads for 50 taper) can be used without fear of interference tool crashes Operator can safely access the tool magazine High Production Capabilities Kitamura Pallet Change Systems are designed to handle workpieces safely and efficiently. You can choose from a variety of systems to suit your requirements. Rotary or shuttle type available for VMCs 2-pallet rotating system standard on horizontal models +/- 0.0001” positioning accuracy. Fully automatic operation. Dependable consistent cycle times. Operator can safely set up next workpiece while machining Chip Management High-efficiency chip conveyors in combination with coolant shower systems keep the work envelope free of chips. Double decker design removes both large and small chips Assures trouble-free machining, especially during prolonged unmanned machining operation Chips are efficiently discharged outside the machine for easy removal High Performance CNC State-of-the-Art Kitamura-Fanuc CNCs are standard on our Machining Centers. They are loaded with numerous high-performance features that many manufacturers offer as optional. Control folds flatly into the machine – saves valuable floor space Kitamura-Fanuc standard control features enable the achievement of higher feed rates, better finish and improved accuracy over other controls that are offered on the market today. A few of our standard features which many other manufacturers consider “optional” include: AI Nano High Precision Contour Control 60m/min Feed with 1mm/block, 1,000 blocks/sec. 500 Block Look Ahead 16 Million Pulse Encoder Feedback System Data Server Upgrade (16mb) RISC-64 Bit Processor with NURBS Interpolation 1280 Meters Memory Ethernet Connection Registered Programs, Total 200 Work Coordinate, Total 54 Sets Helical Interpolation Cutter Compensation C Tool Life Management
