CNC Horizontal Machining Centers

Used Kitamura Mycenter-1Xi: Sell or Buy at Auction

Kitamura is a Japanese precision machine tool builder specializing in high-accuracy horizontal machining centers and vertical machining centers. Known for superior spindle quality and rigid construction, Kitamura machines are a preferred choice in aerospace, die and mold, and precision medical machining. The Mycenter series offers high-speed machining with exceptional thermal stability.

The Kitamura Mycenter-1Xi is a compact three-axis vertical machining center and one of the smallest machines in Kitamura's Mycenter line. Unlike the larger, 40-taper Mycenter models, the 1Xi is built around a high-speed BT30 (30-taper) spindle, commonly geared to around 15,000 rpm, which makes it well suited to small, intricate parts cut with smaller tooling at high rpm. Its work envelope is modest by design: roughly 20 by 14 by 16 inches of X, Y, and Z travel over a table near 14 by 30 inches, served by a fast side-mount twin-arm tool changer. Most units run a Yasnac or Fanuc control. That package puts Kitamura's spindle accuracy and thermal stability into a small footprint without stepping up to a larger machine. Used Mycenter-1Xi buyers are usually precision job shops, aerospace and medical component suppliers, and die and mold operations where tolerance and surface finish matter more than table size. When one reaches auction, KD Auctions markets it to a network of 500,000+ industry contacts who already know the Kitamura name, and units with documented spindle hours, maintenance records, and current calibration draw the strongest bidding.
