キタムラ機械 Company Overview

The only manufacturer in Japan specializing in machining centers, our company Kitamura Machinery's president, Akihiro Kitamura, received the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award in the product and technology development category of the Prime Minister's Award for "Monozukuri Japan" on September 13. The "Monozukuri Japan Award" is a system that honors individuals recognized as particularly outstanding among various generations actively engaged in monozukuri, which has steadily inherited and further developed manufacturing that has significantly contributed to the development of Japanese industry and culture, as well as the formation of a prosperous national life. Since the establishment of the system in fiscal year 2005, it has been held biennially, and this marks the fifth edition. Following the receipt of the Excellent Award at the first "Monozukuri Japan Award" in August 2005, this is the second award, and this time, it is the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award, which follows the highest award, the Prime Minister's Award. Kitamura also received the "Intellectual Property Contribution Award from the Commissioner of the Japan Patent Office" in April this year for his contributions to the promotion and development of the industrial property rights system. This award was given for overcoming advanced technical challenges and achieving the development and practical application of groundbreaking products and production technologies that had never been seen before, with the awarded project being the development of the "One-Chucking Six-Sided Machining Center (Aerial Machining Machine) Mycube."

The reduction of processing time and power consumption is a proposition of our machining centers that we have pursued for many years, alongside higher precision, efficiency, and rigidity. The Mycenter-3XG (SparkChanger), which has won an award this time, comes standard with an automatic high-speed pallet exchange system that can reduce setup time to shorten processing time. Additionally, our uniquely developed controller "Arumatik-Mi" enables a fivefold increase in processing speed compared to conventional models, reducing processing time, while the large 19-inch LCD screen reduces power consumption and achieves groundbreaking ease of use. By adopting the world's first lightweight, strong, and environmentally friendly carbon fiber composite material for the door panel, we have achieved a wide opening area, improving operability and machine balance, as well as enhancing safety and accessibility. In the rapidly developing information society, our machining center has been highly praised for its energy-saving environmental considerations through "smart design," aimed at making life comfortable and convenient while contributing to the sustainability of society.

○ If you purchase our machining center, you can reduce electricity costs by 50% due to our unique four-stage gear-driven spindle. (Awarded the 20th Japan Industrial Federation Excellent "Energy-Saving Equipment") As a measure to prepare for this summer's power shortage, as a way to reduce costs, and as a strategy for CO2 (carbon dioxide) reduction in factories as part of global warming countermeasures, we encourage you to consider the introduction of Kitamura Machinery's machining center. (For details, please see the link below) ○ There is only a short time left until the application deadline for the Energy Innovation Tax System! (Until June 30, 2011) Regarding the "Energy Innovation Tax System," which had a deadline of March 31, it has been decided to extend it by three months due to circumstances such as delays in actual delivery caused by the earthquake. The "Immediate Depreciation System" has also been extended, allowing for 100% depreciation in the first year for eligible equipment acquired by June 30, 2011, enabling significant tax savings. Most of our machines are eligible for the Energy Innovation Tax System. For details, please contact our sales department.
