Kitamura Vertical Machining Centres Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a Kitamura vertical machining centre different from other VMCs?
Kitamura vertical machining centres combine robust machine construction with high‑speed spindles and advanced control technology. This balance of rigidity and speed helps deliver excellent accuracy, repeatability and surface finish across a broad range of materials and applications, from general subcontract work through to ultra‑precision components.
Are these machines suitable for both small jobbing work and regular production?
Yes. The range includes compact, high‑speed models ideal for smaller jobbing work, as well as larger machines with pallet changers and higher tool capacities for more repetitive production tasks. This makes them a good fit for workshops that need flexibility but also want to standardise on a single, high‑quality platform.
How important is machine rigidity on a vertical machining centre?
Rigidity is critical for tool life, surface finish and dimensional accuracy, especially when you’re cutting harder materials or using longer tools. Kitamura’s approach to castings, slideways and hand‑finishing is designed to keep the machine stable over time, reducing the risk of chatter and maintaining accuracy as the machine ages.
Can I add a 4th axis or other options to these machines?
Many Kitamura vertical machining centres can be equipped with a 4th axis rotary table, probing systems, through‑spindle coolant and other options. This allows you to expand capability as your work changes, without needing to replace the entire machine.
What support does DTS provide after installation?
DTS offers full lifecycle support, including installation and commissioning, operator and programmer training, routine servicing, emergency breakdown response and access to spare parts and consumables. Our aim is to keep your Kitamura VMC running reliably so you can maintain output and meet customer lead times.
