CNC Horizontal Machining Centers
Used Kitamura Mycenter-4Xi: 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-4Xi is a #40-taper vertical machining center from Kitamura's Mycenter line, built on the rigid, box-way construction that anchors the brand's reputation for tight positioning accuracy and repeatable surface finish. It pairs a generous work envelope for its class, roughly 40 inches of X travel with about 20 inches each in Y and Z, with a high-speed BT40 (CAT40) spindle and, on the Xi generation, Kitamura's own Arumatik control; earlier units may carry a Fanuc control instead. A large-capacity automatic tool changer supports longer, less-attended cycles, and the machine is built for close-tolerance precision work rather than high-volume roughing. Precision machine shops and aerospace, medical, and defense subcontractors are its natural home, where the accuracy the Kitamura name is built on matters more than raw metal-removal rate. At auction, a well-documented Mycenter-4Xi, spindle hours logged, calibration current, and tooling included, draws focused interest across KD Auctions' 500,000+ industry contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kitamura Mycenter-4Xi worth at auction?
Value depends on the machine's age, spindle hours, overall condition, control generation (an earlier Fanuc-equipped unit and a later Arumatik unit do not command the same market), and the tooling and workholding included in the sale. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that reports both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you have a documented figure before you decide whether to sell.
How does the Mycenter-4Xi compare to other Kitamura models, and how do I sell one?
Within Kitamura's Mycenter line, the 4Xi is a mid-size vertical machining center: it offers a noticeably larger work envelope than the compact Mycenter-3X, while staying a #40-taper vertical machine rather than a larger Mycenter model or one of the horizontal-spindle HX-series production centers. That makes it the model precision shops reach for when they want more travel and rigidity without moving to a full production horizontal. To sell one, call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910. A managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, and once a sale closes, onsite dispatch begins within 48 to 72 hours.
