About Kitamura Machinery
Kitamura Machinery is a manufacturer of machining centers with over 90 years of experience in building high-performance machine tools. The product range includes horizontal and vertical machining centers, double column machining centers, and 5-axis machining centers with trunnion table for 4+1 or full simultaneous machining. The machines are aimed at precision machining, among other things in mold making as well as for complex multi-sided components in aerospace and medical technology. The in-house Arumatik-Mi control, which is intuitive to operate, is used as the CNC control, with software upgrades available throughout the entire life cycle of the control. Modularly designed pallet and tool automation systems can be installed at the factory or on site and enable unmanned operation as well as later expansion. According to the company, more than 35,000 machine bases are installed worldwide and more than 408 patents have been filed.
