How much does the Kitamura Mycenter 5XiD cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Kitamura Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Kitamura Mycenter 5XiD is listed as a compact 5-axis machining center with a 20,000 RPM direct-drive spindle and travels of 500 mm (19.7 in) in X and 450 mm (17.7 in) in both Y and Z. Kitamura's current lineup does not include it, so this page describes an older model from its listed figures.
The proportions are unusual. The rotary table is listed at 630 mm (24.8 in), wider than the X travel, so the spindle cannot cover the whole table face from one position and reaches the far side of a large part by rotating C, which turns 360° continuously. A tilts from -110° to +30°. Maximum workpiece weight is 350 kg (772 lb), which keeps fixtures and parts on the light side for a table that size.
The spindle takes CAT 40 / Big Plus dual-contact tooling. The tool changer holds 60 tools with a listed chip-to-chip time of 3.5 sec, and rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on each linear axis, a moderate figure that suits short moves around a part more than long traverses. Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.003 mm (0.00012 in), the control is Kitamura's Arumatik-Mi, and the machine weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). Anyone looking at a second-hand example should confirm the spindle, magazine and control against that machine's own documentation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 20,000 RPM direct-drive spindle with CAT 40 / Big Plus dual-contact tooling
- 60-tool changer with a listed chip-to-chip time of 3.5 sec
- 630 mm (24.8 in) rotary table with a C axis that rotates 360° continuously and an A axis of -110° to +30°
- Listed positioning accuracy of 0.003 mm (0.00012 in)
Limitations
- X travel of 500 mm (19.7 in) is shorter than the 630 mm (24.8 in) table, so full-table coverage depends on rotating the part
- Maximum workpiece weight is 350 kg (772 lb), fixture included
- Rapids of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) are modest, which adds time on programs with many repositioning moves
- A-axis tilt is -110° to +30°, so the deep tilt is on one side

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. It is not in Kitamura's current lineup, so it is treated here as an older model. The figures are the listed ones, and the spindle, tool changer and control of any individual machine should be confirmed from its own nameplate and documentation.
02
Listed travels are 500 mm (19.7 in) in X, 450 mm (17.7 in) in Y and 450 mm (17.7 in) in Z, with a 630 mm (24.8 in) rotary table. Because the table is wider than the X travel, the spindle reaches the outer areas of a large part by rotating the C axis.
03
The listed maximum workpiece weight is 350 kg (772 lb). That figure has to cover the fixture as well as the part, and on a tilting setup the load hangs off the axis once A leaves level, so heavy setups should be kept well inside it. The machine itself weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).
04
A direct-drive spindle listed at 20,000 RPM with CAT 40 / Big Plus dual-contact tooling, and a 60-tool changer with a 3.5 sec chip-to-chip time. No power or torque figure is listed, so the cutting capacity of a particular machine has to come from its own documentation.
