The Big Step Up

A small shop added two new machines, each of which is more advanced than any of the previous machine tools the company has used. One of the co-owners committed to the work of bringing both of these machines fully into service. Here is the shop’s experience so far.

HMC Designed for Tough Cuts in Large Parts

Kitamura’s Mycenter-HX800iL HMC is designed for heavy-duty, large-part precision machining.

VMC Provides High Accuracy

Kitamura’s Mycenter-3XG VMC offers positioning accuracy measuring ±0.000079" and repeatability of ±0.000039". All mounted surfaces requiring assembly are hand scraped to provide full surface contact and proper alignment for long-term reliability, peak performance and accuracy, the company says.The machining center’s thick walls and ribbed box-type, Meehanite-cast construction, coupled with solid box guide ways on the X, Y and Z axes, are designed to ensure quality and rigidity.

HMC Reduces Setup Time On Low-Volume Jobs

Producing parts right the first time is especially important for a job shop that pays as much as $10,000 for raw material. Although complex geometries and tight delivery schedules initially made this challenging, a four-axis HMC with pallet changer allowed faster setups and unattended production.

HMC Reduces Cycle Time On Large Parts

Despite using Kitamura machining centers with great effect, this shop didn’t have a big enough machine to accommodate its largest jobs without a time-consuming, labor-intensive process. That is, until Kitamura released the MyCenter HX1000i, an HMC large enough for the company’s biggest jobs that maintains the features it likes most about other machines from the same builder.

At the same time, company leaders have aggressively courted customers in countries around the world by offering both tangible and intangible values.
