2014 Kitamura Bridge Center 6G CNC Double Column Vertical Machining Center

The 2014 Kitamura Bridge Center 6G CNC Double Column Vertical Machining Center offers formidable rigidity and expansive capacity, equipped with a 60.2-inch X-axis, 43.1-inch Y-axis, and 28-inch Z-axis travel. Its 35.4-inch by 70.9-inch table accommodates workpieces up to 6600 pounds, driven by a robust 30 horsepower spindle capable of reaching 15000 RPM. The CAT 40 BIG PLUS spindle taper provides outstanding stability during aggressive cutting, and the 40-tool automatic tool changer with 6.6-second change time ensures minimal downtime between operations. The gantry-style double column construction enhances accuracy for large, heavy components, while rapid traverse rates of 945 IPM on all axes improve throughput significantly.

Compared to smaller bridge mills or mid-size VMCs, the 6G offers superior table load capacity and spindle power, allowing for deep material removal and large-part machining in industries like aerospace, energy, and mold making. Machines with lighter frames or lower RPM limits simply cannot compete with the 6G’s blend of speed, torque, and structural rigidity when cutting dense materials over extended machining cycles.
