Kitamura's Mycenter-HX1000i Horizontal Machining Center is designed to produce close tolerance parts from tough materials.
"The induction hardened solid boxway design, combined with the rigidity of high grade Meehanite casting, offers the stiffness needed for high precision, hard milling of larger parts," said a company spokesperson. Guide ways are equipped with high-precision twin ballscrews and twin servo motors that provide the capability of running speeds of 1,417 inch/min. With a net weight of 120,000 lbs and linear scale feedback on all axes as a standard feature, the Mycenter-HX1000i has accuracies of ±0.000079" and full stroke and repeatability of ±0.000039".
Standard is a 40 HP A/C spindle motor with a 4-speed geared head. The geared head enables the Mycenter-HX1000i to reach full power at 235 RPM with output maximum torque of 897.5 ft-lbs. An 8,000 RPM spindle (12,000 RPM option) with a dual contact design is intended to provide greater machining rigidity, improved surface finish, higher cutting accuracy and extended cutting tool life.
The Mycenter-HX1000i utilizes a positive 180° rotating pallet change system designed to provide operator convenience in pallet accessibility and the loading/unloading of workpieces. Table size is 39.37" x 39.37" allowing for accommodation of large parts with the 1° indexer positively positioned to within ±1 arc/sec by a rigid curvic coupling for accuracy and stability. A full 4th axis is an available option.
With a standard 150 tool ATC (200 optional), the Mycenter-HX1000i utilizes Kitamura's exclusive fixed pot ATC system whereby each tool is always returned to the same tool pot and the next tool to be used is kept ready in a "stand-by" tool pot, minimizing tool change time. Tool-to-tool time is three seconds while chip-to-chip time is seven seconds.
With travels of (X) 80.31", (Y) 51.97", (Z) 53.94" and a maximum work piece diameter of 80.71" x 61.02" high, the Mycenter-HX1000i is designed for industries such as aerospace, heavy construction, oil field machining, automotive and power generation where large part machining requires a more expansive work envelope.
