Overview

The Kitamura Mycenter-2XiG pairs a 20,000 RPM direct-drive spindle rated 15 kW (20 hp) with a 30-tool ATC, in a vertical machining center whose X travel of 700 mm (27.6 in) equals the length of its 700 x 420 mm (27.6 x 16.5 in) table. This model is absent from Kitamura's current lineup, so expect to meet it as a used machine.

Because travel and table length match, every part of the table can be brought under the spindle in X, which makes a two-vise setup or a long fixture plate practical. Y travel is 410 mm (16.1 in) and Z is 510 mm (20.1 in). The Z figure is the more useful of the two: it leaves height for a tall fixture and a long tool at the same time.

Spindle output of 15 kW (20 hp) at up to 20,000 RPM, on a CAT 40 / Big Plus (Dual Contact) taper, is a finishing and light-roughing specification. It will remove aluminium quickly and finish steel well, but a direct-drive spindle of this power has limited torque for big cutters at low speed, and no torque figure is listed to say how limited. Tool changes take a listed 3.0 sec chip to chip.

Rapids are 36,000 mm/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30,000 mm/min (1,181 ipm) in Z, and the machine weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb). The current Mycenter-3XV is the nearest present model by size, with 760 mm (29.9 in) of X, 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y, a 50 - 15,000 rpm spindle and 30 tools. Before buying a 2XiG, confirm the control: the listed table names two.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

X travel of 700 mm (27.6 in) covers the full length of the 700 x 420 mm (27.6 x 16.5 in) table
20,000 RPM direct-drive spindle rated 15 kW (20 hp)
30-tool ATC with a listed chip-to-chip time of 3.0 sec
510 mm (20.1 in) of Z travel for tall setups
CAT 40 / Big Plus (Dual Contact) spindle taper

Limitations

Y travel of 410 mm (16.1 in) is narrow next to 700 mm (27.6 in) of X
No spindle torque figure is listed, and 15 kW (20 hp) on a direct drive is light for low-speed roughing
Out of Kitamura's current lineup, so listed figures need checking against the individual machine

Best For

Two-vise setups along a 700 mm (27.6 in) table Aluminium housings and plates cut at up to 20,000 RPM Mould and die finishing with small tools from a 30-tool magazine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the spindle specification of the Mycenter-2XiG?

Listed as a direct-drive spindle reaching 20,000 RPM with 15 kW (20 hp), on a CAT 40 / Big Plus (Dual Contact) taper. Torque is not listed. Treat it as a high-speed spindle for finishing and for aluminium, not as a heavy roughing spindle.

02 How large is the table and how far do the axes travel?

The table is 700 x 420 mm (27.6 x 16.5 in). Listed travels are 700 mm (27.6 in) in X, 410 mm (16.1 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z, so the X axis covers the whole table length.

03 How does the Mycenter-2XiG compare with the current Mycenter-3XV?

The Mycenter-3XV has more travel in two axes, 760 mm (29.9 in) in X and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y, and the same 510 mm (20.1 in) of Z. The Mycenter-3XV spindle runs 50 - 15,000 rpm, below the 20,000 RPM listed for the Mycenter-2XiG, and its rapids are 52 m/min (2,047 ipm) in X and Y against 36,000 mm/min (1,417 ipm). Both hold 30 tools.

04 What should a buyer verify on a used Mycenter-2XiG?

Three things in particular. Which control is fitted, since the listed table names two. The spindle's hours and condition, because a 20,000 RPM spindle wears with use. And that the floor and rigging can handle the listed 5,200 kg (11,464 lb).
