Dugard has now announced that it is the new agent for Kiwa Machinery Co Ltd exclusively throughout the UK and Ireland. Offering affordable state of the art technology with a strong R&D background, Kiwa is widely recognised as one of Japan’s premier machine tool manufacturers. Kiwa manufactures horizontal machining centres that are ideal for any machine shop.
The Japanese manufacturer has developed its expandable tool and pallet technology that sets it apart from the competition. This configuration allows for tailor made designs to meet every requirement. The tool changer and multi pallet systems are upgradable at the customer’s site and this can vary from a 2 pallet, 120 tool machine to a 6 or 8 pallet machine with 220 tools. This gives customers flexibility to meet any future expansion needs without having to buy a completely new machine.
The Kiwa brand offers ultra-high speed rapids of up to 80,000mm/min on the KH-400 model as well as direct drive spindles up to 15,000rpm with options of spindles up to 20,000rpm. The extremely quick Kiwa brand utilises a patented hybrid slideway design that combines roller and boxways that give Kiwa horizontal machining centres both speed and rigidity. A compact footprint is yet another distinctive feature. This is noted with the Kiwa 400mm cube HMC with 500 x 500 x 500mm X/Y/Z travels machine being just 1.6m wide (Kiwa KH-4100). With cost effective multi-pallet options on most models as well as horizontal 5 or 4+1 axis for optimal chip clearance, Kiwa prove that their machining solutions provide high quality machines specifically designed to meet the highest demands.
