How much does the Kitamura Mycenter-0iG 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-0iG is a small vertical machining center built around a 40,000 RPM direct-drive spindle with an HSK-E40 taper. Kitamura's current lineup does not show this model, so treat this page as a guide for assessing a used machine. The listed figures give travels of 360 mm (14.2 in) in X and 305 mm (12.0 in) in both Y and Z, on a 540 x 320 mm (21.3 x 12.6 in) table.
Everything about the spindle points to small tools. Power is listed at 5.5 kW (7.5 hp), and at 40,000 RPM that is meant for cutters of a few millimetres in graphite, copper, aluminium and hardened steel finishing, not for roughing with large end mills. HSK-E40 tooling is specific to high-speed spindles, so holders from a steep-taper machine will not carry over. The magazine is a 20-tool ATC with a listed chip-to-chip time of 3.5 sec.
Rapids are listed at 30,000 mm/min (1,181 ipm) in X and Y and 24,000 mm/min (945 ipm) in Z, and the machine weighs 3,200 kg (7,055 lb). The control row names two different controls, so confirm which one is fitted to the machine you are looking at, and ask for spindle hours, since the state of the bearings decides what a spindle this fast is still good for. For comparison, the Mycenter-Super Micron in Kitamura's present range also runs at 40,000 rpm, on a smaller HSK-E32 taper with 450 mm (17.7 in) of X travel and a 15 m/min (591 ipm) rapid rate.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 40,000 RPM direct-drive spindle for small-diameter tooling
- HSK-E40 spindle taper paired with a 20-tool ATC
- Rapids of 30,000 mm/min (1,181 ipm) in X and Y and 24,000 mm/min (945 ipm) in Z
- Listed weight of 3,200 kg (7,055 lb) behind only 360 mm (14.2 in) of X travel, a heavy build for the envelope
Limitations
- Spindle power is 5.5 kW (7.5 hp), which rules out heavy roughing
- Travels of 360 mm (14.2 in), 305 mm (12.0 in) and 305 mm (12.0 in) limit it to small parts
- The 20-tool magazine is small for jobs that need many cutters and sister tools
- Not in Kitamura's current lineup, so the listed figures should be checked against the machine's own documentation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Kitamura's current lineup does not show the Mycenter-0iG, so it is most likely to be found as a used machine. The figures on this page are the listed ones and should be confirmed against the build sheet or manual of the specific machine before purchase.
02
The listed spindle is a direct-drive unit running to 40,000 RPM with 5.5 kW (7.5 hp) and an HSK-E40 taper. That combination is aimed at small tools at high speed. It does not have the power for large cutters.
03
The table is 540 x 320 mm (21.3 x 12.6 in). Travels are 360 mm (14.2 in) in X, 305 mm (12.0 in) in Y and 305 mm (12.0 in) in Z. No table load figure is listed, so check it for the machine concerned if you plan to mount a heavy vise or fixture.
04
Start with the spindle, since a 40,000 RPM unit is the part that matters most: ask for running hours and listen for bearing noise through the speed range. Confirm which control is fitted, because the listed table names two. Then check that the 20-tool ATC cycles cleanly; its listed chip-to-chip time is 3.5 sec.
