Factory Tour

Construction, Components




Manufacturers demand long machine tool life along with continuous accuracy and reliability in order to get their jobs done. This is where machining center construction really counts. Customers can’t cut precisely on the floor if machining center builders cut corners in craftsmanship and manufacture.
Tough cuts demand super rigidity and Kitamura’s solid box guideways handle the toughest cutting conditions with ease by delivering superior abrasion resistance and vibration absorption.
