Accelerating your production with legendary Japanese accuracy.

Kitamura is a long-established machine tools builder known for innovation, precision, and durability.

Founded in 1933, Kitamura has continued to develop high-performance machining centers used across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, supporting a wide range of industries with proven technology and reliable performance.

1

Craftsmanship

Kitamura’s True Geometric Accuracy (TGA) supports tight tolerances, peak productivity, and long-term reliability, while expert hand scraping creates the precision fit, stability, and accuracy that machines alone cannot achieve.

2

Ridigity

GA50 Meehanite cast iron throughout the bed, column, saddle, table, and headstock provides vibration absorption and stability, maintaining ultra-high accuracy across the full stroke. And Kitamura's thick-walled construction supports deeper, more stable cuts.

3

Performance

Kitamura’s multi-step gear-driven spindles deliver high-efficiency cutting with low energy consumption, while multi-pallet systems and Fixed-Pot ATCs help maximize spindle uptime by reducing setup time, labor requirements, tooling costs, and downtime.

4

Speed & Accuracy

Kitamura’s 4-step gear-driven spindles deliver speeds up to 20,000 rpm while maintaining strong low-end torque and fine-finish capability. Patented twin ballscrew and dual-feedback technology on solid box ways drive acceleration, feedrates, and precision to optimize high-speed machining performance.

Double Column Machining Centers

Larger parts require larger capacity and increased rigidity in order to support heavier table loads.

Kitamura’s Bridgecenter Double Column Machining Centers are designed for extreme cutting capacity, offering the benefits of solid box way construction, high speed/high torque spindle options, spacious work envelopes, and a patented double column bridge type design. Standard linear scale feedback and #40 and #50 taper spindle configurations make these machines ideal for the mold industry where high levels of accuracy are needed in roughing & finishing large cavities and cores.

The Art of Hand Scrapping

Kitamura’s hand scraping process guarantees a precision fit that machines alone cannot achieve. Critical machine contact surfaces are meticulously scraped by expert technicians, ensuring accuracy and longevity.

Hand scraping and precise hand-fitting allow Kitamura machines to achieve ±0.002mm full stroke accuracy and ±0.001mm repeatability, ensuring superior machining results without electronic compensation.
