Tuesday 9 June 2026, 3:53:28 PM


Kitamura Machinery is set to showcase its latest advancements in machining technology at the upcoming International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS). The company recently announced the installation of a Koma Precision Inc RWB-400K 5th axis rotary table on its Mycenter-HX500iG/630 heavy-duty horizontal machining centre (HMC). This upgrade is set to enhance productivity on the shop floor, a crucial step as they prepare for their exhibit at the prestigious event.

The integration of the 5th axis rotary table extends the capabilities of Kitamura’s HMC lineup, offering customers greater flexibility to adapt to their evolving manufacturing needs. The ability to incorporate additional axis functionality in the field on one or both pallets provides a significant advantage, catering to a diverse range of applications.

This table-on-table configuration promises to deliver enhanced capability, increased flexibility, and higher throughput, essential factors in competitive manufacturing environments.

Visitors to the IMTS will have the opportunity to witness this technology in action at the Kitamura booth, located in the South Hall, Booth 338520. The company plans to deliver further updates as they continue their show preparations.

Founded in innovation, Kitamura Machinery continues to provide state-of-the-art solutions designed to meet the demands of modern manufacturers. With a focus on empowering customers through flexible and productive machinery, Kitamura solidifies its position as a leader in the manufacturing sector.
