C Dugard now offers Kiwa horizontal machining centres

C Dugard is the new exclusive agent for Kiwa Machinery Co Ltd, offering the Japanese firm’s hrozontal machining centres throughout the UK and Ireland.

Kiwa’s expandable tool and pallet technology sets it apart from the competition, allowing for tailor-made designs to meet every requirement.The tool changer and multi-pallet systems are upgradable at the customer’s site, from a two-pallet, 120 tool machine to a six- or eight-pallet machine with 220 tools.This gives customers flexibility to meet any future expansion needs without having to buy a completely new machine.

Featuring ultra-high speed rapids (up to 80 m/min on the KH-400 model), as well as direct drive (up to 15,000 rpm) and built-in (up to 20,000 rpm) spindle options, the Kiwa are fast. A patented unique hybrid slideway design delivers both speed and rigidity.

A compact footprint is another attribute, with the KH-4100 just 1.6 m wide for a 400 mm cube HMC with 500 by 500 by 500mm X-Y-Z travels. With cost-effective multi-pallet options on most models as well as horizontal 5- or 4+1-axis options, Kiwa offers high quality machines specifically designed to meet the highest demands.
