Overview

The Kitamura Mycenter-HX300iG is a compact horizontal machining center that puts an NST No. 40 spindle over a 305 x 305 mm (12 x 12 in) pallet. Travels are 460 mm (18.1 in) in X, 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z, so every axis is longer than the pallet is wide and Z is the longest of the three.

That geometry matters on a horizontal. With 560 mm (22 in) of Z there is room for long tools and for a fixture to rotate clear of the spindle, and 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y allows fixtures that stack parts well above the pallet.

The standard spindle runs 40 - 15,000 rpm with a 30,000 rpm spindle optional, and HSK-A63 can be ordered in place of NST No. 40. The 40 rpm floor leaves room for taps and boring bars that the smaller Mycenter-HX250iG, at 150 - 15,000 rpm on NST No. 30, is not built for. Tool change takes 1.3 sec tool-to-tool and 2.5 sec chip-to-chip, the B axis turns at 150 rpm (54,000 deg/min), and rapids are 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).

The magazine is where the machine scales. It holds 50 tools as standard, and Kitamura lists 62, 100, 150, 200 and 300 tools as options, so a small pallet machine can carry the tooling for a large family of parts. Positioning accuracy is ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in) over full stroke and repeatability ±0.0005 mm (±0.00002 in). Supply is 45 kVA at 200 V AC, 3-phase. The Mycenter-HX400iG is the next step, with a 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) pallet, 610 mm (24 in) on each axis and a 20,000 rpm spindle option.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

NST No. 40 spindle on a 305 x 305 mm (12 x 12 in) pallet, with HSK-A63 optional
Magazine options of 62, 100, 150, 200 and 300 tools beyond the standard 50 tools
Positioning accuracy of ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in) over full stroke and ±0.0005 mm (±0.00002 in) repeatability
1.3 sec tool-to-tool, 2.5 sec chip-to-chip, and a B axis at 150 rpm (54,000 deg/min)
560 mm (22 in) of Z travel, the longest axis, for long tools and deep fixtures
40 - 15,000 rpm standard range with a 30,000 rpm spindle optional

Limitations

The 305 x 305 mm (12 x 12 in) pallet limits fixture footprint
X travel of 460 mm (18.1 in) is the shortest axis
The 30,000 rpm spindle, HSK-A63 and the larger magazines are all options
Needs 45 kVA at 200 V AC, 3-phase

Best For

40-taper cutting on small prismatic parts High-mix production using up to 300 tools in the magazine Tombstone fixtures that need 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel Tight-tolerance bores and faces, with ±0.0005 mm (±0.00002 in) repeatability

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels and pallet size of the Mycenter-HX300iG?

The pallet is 305 x 305 mm (12 x 12 in). Travels are 460 mm (18.1 in) in X, 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and 560 mm (22 in) in Z. Rapid traverse is 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).

02 What spindle options does the Mycenter-HX300iG have?

The standard spindle is NST No. 40 with a range of 40 - 15,000 rpm. Kitamura lists a 30,000 rpm spindle as an option and HSK-A63 as an optional interface. No power or torque figure appears in Kitamura's table for this model, so ask for them when comparing spindles.

03 How many tools can it hold?

50 tools as standard. The optional magazines hold 62, 100, 150, 200 or 300 tools. Tool change is 1.3 sec tool-to-tool and 2.5 sec chip-to-chip; ask whether those times hold for the larger magazines.

04 How does the Mycenter-HX300iG compare with the Mycenter-HX250iG?

The Mycenter-HX250iG is smaller and lighter-duty: a 254 x 254 mm (10 x 10 in) pallet, 305 mm (12 in), 305 mm (12 in) and 330 mm (13 in) of travel, an NST No. 30 spindle and 40 tools. The Mycenter-HX300iG has the 305 x 305 mm (12 x 12 in) pallet, longer travels, NST No. 40 and 50 tools as standard with magazine options up to 300 tools.

05 How accurate is the Mycenter-HX300iG?

Positioning accuracy is ±0.001 mm (±0.000039 in) over full stroke and repeatability is ±0.0005 mm (±0.00002 in). The B axis indexes at 150 rpm (54,000 deg/min). The machine requires 45 kVA at 200 V AC, 3-phase.
