How much does the Kitamura Mycenter-HX1000G cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Kitamura Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
With a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet and 2,040 mm (80.3 in) of X travel, the Kitamura Mycenter-HX1000G is a horizontal machining center for very large prismatic parts. Y travel is 1,350 mm (53.1 in) and Z is 1,370 mm (53.9 in). The work envelope accepts a workpiece up to 2,050 mm in diameter and 1,550 mm (61 in) high, about twice the pallet width.
Priorities change at this size, and the figures show it. The standard spindle runs from 35 to 8,000 rpm with a four-step gear drive and an NST No. 50 taper, and 12,000 rpm is the option. On the smaller Mycenter-HX800G it is the other way round, with 12,000 rpm standard. Rapids are 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), against 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on the Mycenter-HX800G. A tool change takes 6.7 sec tool-to-tool and 12 sec chip-to-chip, and the B axis turns at 11.1 rpm (4,000 deg/min). None of that is a weakness on the intended work. A casting that fills this envelope spends its cycle in long cuts, and the time between them is a small share of the total.
The magazine is sized for that kind of job. It holds 150 tools as standard, with 200 as the option, enough to keep the roughing, finishing and backup tools for several large parts loaded together. Accuracy is listed as ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in) over the full stroke with ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in) repeatability, which is demanding to hold over 2,040 mm of travel.
Some figures a buyer needs are missing from the table: spindle power and torque, maximum workpiece weight and machine weight. Ask for all four. The electrical supply is 85 kVA at 200 V AC, three-phase. If the fixture footprint is the constraint, the Mycenter-HX1250G has the same travels with a 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel is 2,040 mm (80.3 in), Y is 1,350 mm (53.1 in) and Z is 1,370 mm (53.9 in). The pallet is 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in), and the maximum workpiece is 2,050 mm in diameter and 1,550 mm (61 in) high. The table does not state a weight limit.
02
The standard spindle range is 35 to 8,000 rpm, gear driven through four steps on an NST No. 50 taper. A 12,000 rpm spindle is listed as an option. Power and torque are not in the table, so request them for both spindles.
03
The machine is moving far more mass over longer distances. Rapids are 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), the tool change is 6.7 sec tool-to-tool and 12 sec chip-to-chip, and the B axis rotates at 11.1 rpm (4,000 deg/min). On parts this large the cycle is dominated by cutting time, so these figures cost less than they would on small parts.
04
The pallet. The Mycenter-HX1250G has a 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet, while the Mycenter-HX1000G has a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) one. Travels of 2,040 mm (80.3 in), 1,350 mm (53.1 in) and 1,370 mm (53.9 in), the 35 to 8,000 rpm spindle range and the 150 tool magazine are common to both.
05
85 kVA at 200 V AC, three-phase. Machine weight is not listed for this model, so get it from Kitamura before designing the foundation or booking rigging.
