How much does the Kitamura Mycenter-H500i 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-H500i is listed as a horizontal machining center with a 500 × 500 mm pallet and a cube-shaped working envelope of 730 mm / 730 mm / 730 mm in X/Y/Z. It is absent from Kitamura's current lineup, which makes it an older model, and the figures given here are the listed ones.
Part capacity runs ahead of the pallet. The listed maximum workpiece is 800 mm in diameter, 900 mm high and 600 kg. A part 900 mm tall is taller than the 730 mm of Y travel, so not all of a full-height workpiece can be reached; check the reach on any tall job. The B axis is a direct-drive rotary table with 360° CNC positioning at 0.001° resolution, which allows any angle and not just fixed index positions.
The listed spindle is BIG-PLUS CAT 40 at 15,000 rpm with a 22 kW motor. The tool changer holds 50 tools and rapids are 60 m/min on X, Y and Z. Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.003 mm, the control is Kitamura's Arumatik-Mi, and the machine weighs approximately 16,000 kg. For comparison, the Mycenter-HX400iG has a 400 x 400 mm (15.7 x 15.7 in) pallet with 610 mm (24 in) of travel on each axis, so the Mycenter-H500i sits one pallet size above it.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Equal travel of 730 mm / 730 mm / 730 mm in X/Y/Z over a 500 × 500 mm pallet
- Direct-drive B-axis rotary table with 360° CNC positioning at 0.001° resolution
- Listed maximum workpiece of 800 mm diameter, 900 mm height and 600 kg
- 60 m/min rapids on X, Y and Z
- BIG-PLUS CAT 40 spindle at 15,000 rpm with a 22 kW motor
Limitations
- Maximum workpiece weight is 600 kg, fixture included, which is light for an 800 mm diameter envelope
- The 50-tool changer has no larger option in the listed figures
- Spindle speed is 15,000 rpm, with no faster option in the listed figures
- Y travel of 730 mm is shorter than the 900 mm maximum workpiece height

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. It is not in Kitamura's current lineup, so it is covered here as an older model using the listed figures. Before buying one, confirm the spindle, tool changer, pallet arrangement and control from the machine's own nameplate and documentation.
02
The pallet is 500 × 500 mm and the listed maximum workpiece is 800 mm in diameter, 900 mm high and 600 kg. Travels are 730 mm / 730 mm / 730 mm in X/Y/Z. Since Y travel is shorter than the maximum part height, check spindle reach on tall workpieces.
03
A direct-drive rotary table with full 360° CNC positioning and 0.001° resolution. The pallet can be set at any angle, so angled holes and faces can be cut without angled fixtures.
04
A BIG-PLUS CAT 40 spindle at 15,000 rpm with a 22 kW motor, and a 50-tool changer. Rapids are 60 m/min on X, Y and Z and positioning accuracy is listed as 0.003 mm. The machine weighs approximately 16,000 kg.
