HMC FOR CLOSE TOLERANCE PARTS FROM THE TOUGHEST MATERIALS

Kitamura's Mycenter-HX800i Horizontal Machining Center delivers the precision, accuracy and repeatability required to produce close tolerance parts from the toughest materials. With the versatility for roughing and fine finish capabilities in a single set-up, the HX800i is designed for the automotive, oil and gas machinery, aerospace and heavy machinery industries. Net weight is 45,100 lb.

The HX800i comes standard with a 35 hp, 12,000 rpm 2-step geared spindle that delivers 280.3 ft/lb of maximum torque with high end power – the only 50 taper machine in its class that offers the versatility for roughing with fine finish capabilities in a single set-up. An optional 8,000 rpm high torque spindle is an available option with output maximum torque of 699.3 ft/lb. The combination of Kitamura's unique spindle gear system with a Dual Contact Spindle design offers the benefits of greater machining rigidity, improved surface finish, higher cutting accuracy and extended cutting tool life.

The Mycenter-HX800i comes standard with full 360 deg 4th axis simultaneous machining capabilities needed to machine complex, multi-sided parts, greatly reducing set-up time. In addition, Kitamura's 2-station automatic pallet changer allows for the loading of parts while machining – dramatically improving spindle cutting time while allowing for in-process verification of component quality. Maximum work size of 39.4 x 43.3 in high with a table load capacity of 2,640 lb allows for the machining of larger work pieces and complex fixturing. Optional Flexible Manufacturing Systems are available and easily expandable to meet high precision, production machining requirements. The HX800i comes standard with a 50-tool fixed pot ATC with an amazing tool-to-tool change time of 3 seconds. Up to 300 tools can be added in the field for added flexibility in changing from one job to the next. A Double Decker Conveyor and Filtration System combined with chip augers in the machine bed removes chips with a high amount of efficiency minimizing thermal distortion while improving accuracy and prolonging tool life.
