It is a typical example of Kitamura precision

and quality and 100 percent built in

Kitamura’s Japanese plant.

The 4G is a full simultaneous 5-axis

machining centre with a maximum work

piece size of 550mm diameter and 400mm

high. The spindle is a high speed 15,000rpm

and rapid speeds in X and Y are a blazing

50m/min.

According to Mr Oxford, one of the fantastic

features on Kitamura machine’s nowadays

by Kitamura and Mitsubishi. They have

developed a very high end control system

packed with advanced and high speed

features commonly options on other

manufacturers’ controllers and these are

standard features on the Arumatik. The

massive 19” screen ensures it is not only

extremely powerful but very user friendly.
