Boost spindle uptime with Kitamura’s Sparkchanger VMC!


Tuesday 30 July 2024, 5:00:00 PM


Did you know that without automation, the average uptime of a machine spindle is 40%?

That means your machine is idle 60% of the time! And if you’re not making chips, you’re not making money!

Fortunately, investing in technology like Kitamura can be a game changer – and HDM Hydraulics is here to prove it.

MTDCNC’s Tony Gunn meets HDM Hydraulics’ Nathan Korthals to find out how they went from 25% spindle uptime to 60% by investing in the Kitamura Sparkchanger vertical machining center. If you’re struggling with setup times being longer than actual machine time, check out how this Kitamura can help so your customers get shorter lead times and lower price points.
