“Kitamura’s Mycenter-HX300iF Horizontal Machining Center offers a uniquely largework envelope for amachine of its size,” said a spokesperson. “This compact HMC is truly a 400 mm sizemachinewithin a 300mmmachine footprint. A compact table size of 12- x 12-inches reduces spindle interference usually associated with larger table sizes, allowing close contact with the work piece formaximumaccuracy and rigidity. X-, Y- and Z-axis stroke of 20.1- x 20.1- x 19.3-inches allows formachining of a maximum workpiece size (diameter ) of 19.6- and 29.1- inches (height). Space saving and economical, theMycenter-HX300iF is the right horizontal machine for precision high metal removal rate machining. “Designed for maximum rigidity and accuracy, theMycenter-HX300iF is unique because it is the only 40 taper machine available that has both high cutting torque and a standard 15,000- RPM, 4-step geared spindle (option/ 20,000-RPM) offering the versatility for roughingwith fine-finish capabilities in a single set-up on a variety of materials from aluminum to harder materials such as stainless steel and titanium. The Dual Contact Spindle design offers the benefits of greater machining rigidity, improved surface finish, higher cutting accuracy and extended cutting tool life. “Fastest for a machine of solid box way construction, the Mycenter- HX300iF is equipped standard with high speed rapids of 1,969-IPM on the X, Y and Z axes. The Mycenter- HX300iF is also capable of high-speed cutting feed rates of 1,969-IPM on the X and Y axes, the perfect combination for high-speedmachining applications. “The Mycenter-HX300iF comes standard with a 2-station, 180-degree rotating pallet changer systemthat provides optimum operator convenience and can be upgraded to a total of eight pallets in the field. Optional FMS systems are also available depending on the customers’ requirements. A40-tool upgradeableATC is standardwith a 1.7 tool-tool change time. Up to 190 tools can be added in field for added flexibility without long lead times. “A full fourth axis rotary table is a standard feature on all Kitamura HorizontalMachining Centers, allowing the customer to machine complex, multisided parts without separate operations or special equipment. The table is capable of indexing at 0.6 seconds for 90-degrees (9,000 deg/min) rapid feed, enabling positioning at any angle very quickly.
