How much does the Kitamura Mycenter-HX1250G 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
The Kitamura Mycenter-HX1250G is a 57,320 kg (126,000 lb) horizontal machining center carrying a 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet. A machine of that mass is an installation project before it is a purchase: the foundation, the crane or rigging route and an 85 kVA, 200 V AC, three-phase supply all have to be settled early.
The envelope is what justifies the effort. 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), and the largest workpiece is 2,050 mm (80.7 in) in diameter and 1,550 mm (61 in) high. X travel and maximum diameter are almost equal, so the spindle can cross nearly the whole width of the biggest part the pallet will swing. The Mycenter-HX1000G has the same three travels on a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet. Choosing between the two is therefore a question of fixture footprint and how the part sits on the pallet, not of reach.
The spindle is an NST No. 50 taper driven through four gear steps, with a standard range of 35 to 8,000 rpm and a 12,000 rpm option. Kitamura's table leaves out power and torque, and those need to be in the quotation. The 150 tool magazine, or 200 tools as an option, suits work where long boring bars and duplicate tools stay loaded for unattended running.
Non-cutting moves are deliberate: 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) rapids, 6.7 sec tool-to-tool, 12 sec chip-to-chip, and a B axis at 11.1 rpm (4,000 deg/min). Positioning accuracy is listed as ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in) over the full stroke with ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in) repeatability. The control is Arumatik-Mi.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet with a work envelope of 2,050 mm (80.7 in) diameter by 1,550 mm (61 in) height
- X travel of 2,040 mm (80.3 in) nearly matches the maximum workpiece diameter
- 150 tools in the standard magazine and 200 with the option
- ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in) positioning accuracy over the full stroke and ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in) repeatability
- NST No. 50 spindle with four-step gear drive, 35 to 8,000 rpm standard and 12,000 rpm optional
Limitations
- Machine weight of 57,320 kg (126,000 lb) calls for a purpose-built foundation and heavy rigging
- Needs an 85 kVA, 200 V AC, three-phase supply
- 12 sec chip-to-chip tool change and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) rapids make it a poor match for short-cycle parts
- B axis speed is 11.1 rpm (4,000 deg/min)
- No spindle power, torque or pallet load figure is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The machine weighs 57,320 kg (126,000 lb). It needs a foundation designed for that load, a way to bring the machine into the building, and an electrical supply of 85 kVA at 200 V AC, three-phase. Settle these before agreeing a delivery date.
02
The maximum workpiece is 2,050 mm (80.7 in) in diameter and 1,550 mm (61 in) high, on a 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet. Travels are 2,040 mm (80.3 in) in X, 1,350 mm (53.1 in) in Y and 1,370 mm (53.9 in) in Z. A maximum workpiece weight is not listed.
03
On the listed figures the travels, spindle range and magazine match. The Mycenter-HX1000G has a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet with travels of 2,040 mm (80.3 in), 1,350 mm (53.1 in) and 1,370 mm (53.9 in), a 35 to 8,000 rpm spindle and 150 tools. The Mycenter-HX1250G puts a 1,250 x 1,250 mm (49.2 x 49.2 in) pallet in that envelope.
04
An NST No. 50 taper spindle, four-step gear driven, with a 35 to 8,000 rpm range. A 12,000 rpm spindle is optional. The standard magazine holds 150 tools and a 200 tool magazine is optional. Tool change is 6.7 sec tool-to-tool and 12 sec chip-to-chip.
05
Kitamura's Arumatik-Mi. Listed positioning accuracy is ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in) over the full stroke and repeatability is ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in). Rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) and the B axis rotates at 11.1 rpm (4,000 deg/min).
