How much does the Kitamura Mycenter-4XV cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Kitamura Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Kitamura Mycenter-4XV is a 40-taper vertical machining center with 1020 mm (40.2 in) of X travel, 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y and Z, a 30.6 kW (41 hp) spindle and a rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).
It is the long-bed step up from the Mycenter-3XV, which has 760 mm (29.9 in) of X on the same Y and Z. The extra length comes with a bigger magazine, 40 tools against 30 tools on the Mycenter-3XV, and a higher rapid rate: the Mycenter-3XV lists 52 m/min (2,047 ipm) in X and Y and 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) in Z. Spindle range is the same on both at 50 - 15,000 rpm.
The table is 510 × 1120 mm, 1120 mm (44.1 in) long, so it overhangs the X travel and the outer ends serve as clamping room. Y travel equals the table width, which means the full depth of the table is usable. With 1020 mm of X and 510 mm of Y, the natural loads are long parts such as rails, manifolds and plates, or three or four vises in a row for batch work. Kitamura's table does not list a table load here.
Tool changes take 2.2 sec tool to tool and 4.2 sec chip to chip. Positioning accuracy is ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in) over the full stroke with ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in) repeatability, and the machine needs 40 kVA at 200 V AC, three-phase. If Y travel is the constraint, the Mycenter-5XV moves to 1270 mm (50 in) by 710 mm (28 in) by 635 mm (25 in) on a 700 × 1420 mm (27.6 × 55.9 in) table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1020 mm (40.2 in) of X travel with a 1120 mm (44.1 in) long table
- Rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm)
- 30.6 kW (41 hp) spindle with a 50 - 15,000 rpm range
- 40-tool magazine, 2.2 sec tool to tool and 4.2 sec chip to chip
- ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in) positioning accuracy over the full stroke
Limitations
- Y and Z stay at 510 mm (20.1 in); the Mycenter-5XV is the model with 710 mm (28 in) of Y and 635 mm (25 in) of Z
- Spindle tops out at 15,000 rpm, where the Mycenter-3020G reaches 20,000 rpm
- No table load, spindle torque or drive type is given in Kitamura's table
- Needs a 40 kVA supply at 200 V AC, three-phase

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel, tool capacity and rapid rate. The Mycenter-4XV has 1020 mm (40.2 in) of X, 40 tools and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids. The Mycenter-3XV has 760 mm (29.9 in) of X, 30 tools and rapids of 52 m/min (2,047 ipm) in X and Y and 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) in Z. Both have 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y and Z and a 50 - 15,000 rpm NST No. 40 spindle.
02
510 × 1120 mm. The 1120 mm (44.1 in) length is greater than the 1020 mm (40.2 in) of X travel, and the 510 mm width matches the Y travel. Kitamura's table for this model gives no maximum table load, so confirm it before planning heavy fixtures.
03
An NST No. 40 spindle rated 30.6 kW (41 hp) with a speed range of 50 - 15,000 rpm. The table states no torque figure. For a higher top speed in Kitamura's range, the Mycenter-3020G lists a four-step gear-driven spindle reaching 20,000 rpm with 20 HP.
04
2.2 sec tool to tool and 4.2 sec chip to chip, from a 40-tool magazine. Combined with 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids, that keeps non-cutting time low on parts with many short operations.
05
When the part needs more than 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y or Z. The Mycenter-5XV has 1270 mm (50 in) of X, 710 mm (28 in) of Y and 635 mm (25 in) of Z on a 700 × 1420 mm (27.6 × 55.9 in) table, with the same 50 - 15,000 rpm spindle range and 40 tools. Its rapids are listed at 52 m/min (2,047 ipm) in X and Y and 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) in Z.
