Mycenter-4XV Features
Heavy duty cross linear guides, fine pitch ballscrews, high grade servo motors, feedback encoder, and Kitamura’s high precision assembly technology allows for the highest accuracy and smoothest possible motion on the X, Y & Z axes. Highest grade Meehanite cast construction provides optimum damping capacity and vibration absorption. Kitamura’s exclusive intelligent advanced control system (IAC) consists of a series of strategically located sensors and machine efficiency monitors that work together to control the effects of heat displacement in order to ensure continuous accuracy in machining. ±1 μm repeatability is achievable.
A large ergonomic work envelope with wide door openings makes for easy load and unload of parts while high speed rapid feed rates of 2,047ipm (X&Y), 1,890ipm (Z) boost throughput. Standard base wash system, internal chip augers, covered X & Y axes and a scraper type chip conveyor offer excellent chip management, keeping the workspace free of chips and contaminants. The flexible conveyor configuration allows for the placement on either the left or right-hand side of the machine.
