Dynamic Tool Corp. enhanced its machining capabilities by installing two Kitamura Bridgecenter 6G machining centers. With 40% more Y-axis travel in the same footprint, they now achieve 5-micron tolerances, run more unattended hours, and process larger mold bases in-house—all while maintaining precision and efficiency.

Kitamura’s high-performance Arumatik-Mi control system has been updated with a redesigned graphical interface, making it easier than ever to use for operators of all levels. The intuitive design and user-friendly features of the Arumatik-Mi make it a top choice for easier programming and part set-up and simplified machine operation.

Celebrating 30 years, 3V Precision thrives on Vision, Value, and Validation. With a fleet of Kitamura MyCenter HX630s and lights-out machining, they deliver precision in tough alloys. Culture, education, and craftsmanship define their success—building a team-driven, patient process where excellence in machining meets lifelong learning.

Petersen Precision upgraded its machining capabilities by adding Kitamura’s Mycenter-3X Sparkchanger. The vertical machining center improves throughput, precision, and efficiency. Its twin-pallet system enables lights-out manufacturing, helping Petersen maintain tight tolerances and meet demanding production schedules—reinforcing its reputation in precision metal components for critical applications.

Kitamura Machinery marked the grand opening of its new U.S. headquarters in Mt. Prospect, IL, with a ribbon cutting and celebration. The facility features a state-of-the-art showroom, expanded warehouse, and training areas—demonstrating Kitamura’s commitment to growth, customer service, and machining innovation across the Americas.

Hi-Spec Precision Engineering transformed its workflow with a 10-pallet Kitamura Mycenter HX250iG. The compact, automated machine boosts unmanned hours, slashes cycle times, and increases output. With 67-million pulse encoder technology and ultra-precise indexing, it ensures quality and efficiency for complex, high-volume machining tasks.

Kitamura expands it’s 5-axis line up with this ultra-compact 5-axis VMC, offering the largest work envelope in its class. This high speed machining center offers unparalleled precision, accuracy and speed for expanded machining capability in the machining of highly complex, multi-sided parts in one set-up.

Manufactured in Japan with ultra-high speed rapids of 2,362ipm, the Mycenter-HX250iG offers high efficiency with the ability to mill, bore, drill, tape and thread light to heavy duty materials on a single machine with the flexibility to expand tools and pallets in the field as needs grow.

The Mycenter-HX500iG/630 is designed specifically for manufacturers and job shops that need to produce close tolerance parts from the toughest of materials, providing both the high precision and high volume manufacturing capabilities needed for larger parts production in the aerospace, automotive, energy manufacturing, heavy construction and similar medium to large part machining industries.

JLP Machine and Welding LLC thrives on efficiency, so when owner Jim Libby needed to add a horizontal machining center (HMC) to his growing lineup of machine tools, versatility was an important consideration.

When this customer decided it was time to step up his game, there was no doubt that a new Kitamura was in his future. A small scale, #30 taper, high speed HMC that could handle grade 5 Titanium. The answer was the Mycenter-HX250iG

Kitamura’s Anywhere-Remote® mobile notification and machine monitoring suite includes E-mail status updates, machine monitoring software suites that range from basic plug and play packages to those that are customized to suite each individual customer’s application and MTConnect® ready adaptor (basic) allowing for machines to be readily and easily adapted to end users already running their own in house machine monitoring software protocols.
