Horizontal machining centre needs little space

Horizontal machining centre has been developed to satisfy demands for high productivity on medium to long batch runs with small components and in a limited floor space.

If you need high productivity on medium to long batch runs with small components and have a limited floor space, the Kitamura Mycenter HX250iF horizontal machining centre from Leader CNC is the solution you need.

With an exceptionally small footprint and lightning quick tool and pallet changes, the HX250iF with its standard full 4th axis rotary for multipart tombstone fixturing is undoubtedly the outstanding machine in its class.

Making an appearance at MACH 2006 on stand 5283, the Mycenter HX250iF has an expansive work envelope that enables multiple part loading per pallet (or a component 350mm in diameter 400mm high weighing 60 kg).

When combined with the 1.8 second pallet change, a dual contact 30 taper spindle and 48m/min rapid traverses, this machine makes for extremely fast production times.

A 40 position tool changer is standard.

The unique Kitamura designed and assembled spindle is supported by cylindrical roller bearings at the top with two double directional angular roller bearings at the base.

This guarantees rigid and silent rotational movement under heavy loads.

The heat generated by the 15,000 rev/min spindle is minimized by a cooling unit, an oil-air mixer unit and by the additional Intelligent Advanced Control (IAC) that automatically displaces thermal activity.

The Kitamura-Fanuc developed control also combines precise Z-axis feed with spindle rotation to enable small diameter tapping at extremely high speeds.

A combination of the above elements guarantee the Kitamura Mycenter HX250iF is the best choice for slashing cycle times, lowering production costs and improving profitability when machining medium to large batches of small precision parts.
