The HX250G features a generous work envelope for a machine of its size
(13.8" Dia x 15.8"H). A full 4th Axis coupled with super high speed rapids of
2,362ipm offer flexibility in a wide variety of applications and optimum
reliability within the smallest of footprints.
Standard with a 40-Tool
automatic tool changer, the
Mycenter-HX250G minimizes
tool change time and
maximizes cutting time with
Kitamura’s exclusive fixed pot
ATC system whereby each tool
is always returned to the same
pot and the next tool to be
used is kept in a “stand-by”
pot. For increased capability,
an optional 102 tools (total)
