Kitamura
Introduces Mycenter HX630i Horizontal Machining Center
"Kitamura's
Mycenter-HX630i Horizontal Machining Center is designed for the precision,
accuracy and repeatability necessary to produce close tolerance parts from the
toughest of materials," said a spokesperson. "The induction hardened solid box
way design, combined with high grade Meehanite casting offers the stiffness
needed for true high precision, hard milling. Guideways are equipped with ultra
high precision twin ball screws and twin servo motors that provide the
capability of running speeds of 1,969 inch/min with accuracies of +-0.00008-inch
full stroke and repeatability of +-0.00004-inch. Total weight on the
Mycenter-HX630i is a sturdy 45,100 lbs.
"The
Mycenter-HX630i is a productive and efficient workhorse, designed to meet the
most demanding and advanced applications usually found in the automotive, oil
and gas field machinery, aerospace and heavy machinery equipment industries.
"The
HX630iF comes standard with a 40 HP, 12,000 RPM 2-step geared spindle that
delivers 323.8 ft/lbs of max. It feature torque with high end power and is 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 5,000 RPM high torque
spindle is an available option with output max, with torque of 679.3 ft/lbs. 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-HX630i comes standard with full 360-degree 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-inch high with a table load capacity of 2,640
lbs allows for the machining of larger work pieces and complex fixturing.
"Up to
eight pallets can be added in field to give you added flexibility as the needs
of your shop grow. Optional Flexible Manufacturing Systems are also available
and easily expandable to meet high precision, production machining requirements.
"The HX630i
comes standard with a 50-tool fixed pot ATC with an amazing tool-to-tool change
time of 1.5 seconds. Up to 200 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. In addition, 220 PSI Coolant thru the spindle
is standard on the HX630i to maximize heat dissipation during hard milling.
"Horizontal
machining requires a user friendly and responsive control when challenged with
high precision machining of tougher materials and alloys. Kitamura combines both
in our Kitamura-Fanuc 16iMB control. With standard 1,280 meters memory, 16 MB
Data Server, HPCC by RISC Control, NURBS Interpolation and Ethernet connection,
this control is powerful enough to ensure optimum accuracy in a variety of
cutting conditions."
