2004 Kitamura MyCenter 2Xi CNC Vertical Mill

The 2004 Kitamura MyCenter 2Xi is a precision-oriented vertical machining center built for high-speed contouring and small-to-mid-size component work. With 20-inch X, 14-inch Y, and 18-inch Z travels, this machine balances reach and control across its 30-inch by 14-inch table. It is powered by a robust 15 horsepower spindle capable of 15000 RPM, which ensures reliable material removal rates even in harder alloys. The 24-position automatic tool changer enhances productivity, while the Fanuc 16i-MA control system provides reliable and accurate command over tight tolerances.

When measured against smaller VMCs in the same production class—like entry-level Haas or older Sharp verticals—the MyCenter 2Xi excels in spindle speed, rigidity, and tool-changing efficiency. Its inclusion of a built-in chip auger and conveyor puts it above many competitors lacking chip management, making it a superb choice for continuous or lightly attended cycles.
