CNC Horizontal Machining Centers
Used Kitamura Mycenter-2Xi: 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-2Xi is a compact vertical machining center from Kitamura's Mycenter line, built in Japan and sized toward the small end of the range. That size is the point of the machine: a rigid, tightly built platform for small, close-tolerance parts rather than large workpieces. Kitamura's hallmark box-way construction gives the frame the rigidity and damping that hold accuracy through a cut, and the Xi designation marks a later generation of the Mycenter-2 with a Kitamura control built on a Fanuc CNC core. It runs a No. 40 taper spindle served by a double-arm automatic tool changer, though the exact spindle rating, top RPM, and tool capacity vary by build, so confirm them for the specific machine. A small footprint paired with Kitamura's accuracy reputation is why precision job shops, aerospace component suppliers, and medical device machinists reach for this model when fine finish and repeatability matter more than table size. Buyers evaluating a used Mycenter-2Xi usually ask about spindle hours, way and ballscrew wear, and calibration history before bidding, since those factors drive resale value on a machine built for accuracy. When one comes up for sale, KD Auctions markets it to a national base of 500,000+ industry contacts who already know what the Kitamura name represents, which tends to produce faster, more competitive bidding than a generic used-VMC listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a used Kitamura Mycenter-2Xi worth at auction?
Auction value for a Mycenter-2Xi depends on its age, spindle hours, control version, way and ballscrew condition, tooling included, and calibration records, so there is no single number that applies across every machine. KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that reports both orderly liquidation value and forced liquidation value, giving sellers a documented basis for setting a reserve or supporting insurance before the machine goes to auction.
How does the Mycenter-2Xi differ from other Kitamura Mycenter models, and who typically buys it?
Within the Mycenter line, the number indicates the size class and the Xi denotes a later generation, so the Mycenter-2Xi is one of Kitamura's more compact verticals paired with an updated Fanuc-based control. Because the envelope is small and the machine is built for accuracy, it suits shops running small aluminum and steel parts that need tight tolerances and a fine finish rather than large-volume roughing. Typical buyers are precision machining shops, aerospace component suppliers, and medical device manufacturers already familiar with Kitamura's accuracy reputation, along with die and mold shops that want a compact second-operation or backup machine. Spindle rating, top RPM, control version, and tooling vary from machine to machine, so verify them before you bid or set a reserve. Sellers ready to move one can call 480.455.3910: a managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, with onsite dispatch scheduled within 48 to 72 hours.
