Overview

The Kitamura Mycenter HX800iG is a large horizontal machining center with an 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) pallet, a 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) maximum workpiece weight and an 8,000 rpm spindle in CAT 50 or BT 50 taper. Kitamura's current lineup does not include it. These notes are written for a buyer looking at a second-hand machine and rest on the listed figures.

Travels are 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in X, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Y and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Z. Spindle power is listed as 37/26 kW (50/35 hp). With an 8,000 rpm ceiling this is a machine for steel and cast iron in large sections, not for high-speed work in light alloys. Rapids of 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) on all three axes and a 30 sec pallet change are moderate, which matters little on heavy parts with long cuts and more on short cycles.

The tool changer holds 80 tools and is expandable to 160. The B axis indexes in 0.001° steps through the full 360°, and positioning accuracy is listed as 0.004 mm (0.00016 in). The control is Kitamura's Arumatik-Mi. At 35,000 kg (77,162 lb), transport and foundation work are a real part of any purchase. The current Mycenter-HX800G keeps the 800 x 800 mm pallet with longer travels of 1,570 mm (61.8 in), 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and 1,400 mm (55.1 in) and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

2,500 kg (5,511 lb) maximum workpiece weight on an 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) pallet
80-tool changer, expandable to 160 tools
B axis indexes in 0.001° increments through the full 360°
Spindle power listed as 37/26 kW (50/35 hp) with a CAT 50 or BT 50 taper

Limitations

No longer in Kitamura's current lineup, so availability is limited to second-hand machines
Spindle speed stops at 8,000 rpm, which restricts small-tool and light-alloy work
Rapids are 40 m/min (1,575 ipm), against 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) on the current Mycenter-HX800G
The pallet change takes 30 sec, and the machine weighs 35,000 kg (77,162 lb)

Best For

Heavy steel and cast iron parts up to 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) Large housings needing 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of X and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Y Long-cycle work where a 30 sec pallet change is a small share of the time
