{"id":"kitamura-bridgecenter-8g-40","model_id":"Bridgecenter-8G #40","name":"Kitamura Bridgecenter-8G #40","summary":"The Bridgecenter-8G #40 is a double column, 3-axis vertical machining center built on a Meehanite cast iron bed with square-section support columns and a triangular cross beam. It has a 900 x 2500 mm table, travels of 2032 x 1095 x 710 mm in X, Y and Z, and a 20-20,000 min⁻¹ four-step gear driven spindle with an NST No. 40 taper. A 40-position tool storage magazine, 24 m/min rapid feed on all axes and linear scale feedback on X, Y and Z support heavy-duty mold work as well as high-tolerance part machining.","study_notes":["Positioning accuracy is stated as ±0.002 mm (±0.000079 in) over full stroke.","The spindle is 4-step gear driven with a dual contact design; HSK-A63 taper is optional.","Tool storage is 40 pieces standard, with 60 or 80 tools optional.","Linear scale feedback is fitted on the X, Y and Z axes.","Construction uses ground-hardened solid box ways on all axes with induction hardened Meehanite castings.","The machine is described as measuring 3,494 x 5,86 mm (137.6 in x 230.9 in) on the floor, as written in the source.","Power requirement is 35 kVA, 200 V AC, 3 phase.","The machine is controlled by the Arumatik-Mi control, which has a touch-screen, icon-driven interface."],"safety_notes":[],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.kitamura-machinery.com/products/bridgecenter8g-40/","title":"Bridgecenter-8G #40 Double Column Machining Center | Kitamura Machinery","accessed":"2026-10-26"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-26","values":15,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-26","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_mill","manufacturer":"kitamura","controllers":[],"axes":3,"repeatability_mm":0.001,"travel_x_mm":2032,"travel_y_mm":1095,"travel_z_mm":710,"spindle_max_rpm":20000,"spindle_taper":"NST No. 40","rapid_traverse_m_min":24,"tool_capacity":40,"table_length_mm":2500,"table_width_mm":900,"table_load_kg":3492.66,"supply_voltage":"200 V AC, 3 Phase","feedback":"Linear scale, X/Y/Z axes","joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/kitamura-bridgecenter-8g-40","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
