Sigma Design Expands CNC Capabilities with Kitamura MedCenter-5AX High-Precision 5-Axis Machining
Sigma Design continues to invest in cutting-edge technology to give our clients the exact parts they need. Our newest addition, the Kitamura MedCenter-5AX High Speed 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center, takes our machining capabilities to the next level.
This compact powerhouse delivers ultra-precise, simultaneous 5-axis machining with positioning accuracy of ±0.002mm and repeatability of ±0.001mm. Its high-speed, 30,000 RPM spindle and advanced Arumatik®-Mi control enable intricate cuts, complex geometries, and micro-machining on even the smallest components. Whether it’s hard milling, deep-hole drilling, or achieving a super-fine surface finish, the MedCenter-5AX is built to handle challenging materials and tight tolerances with ease.
For Sigma Design clients, the benefits are clear:
- Shorter lead times and lower costs thanks to high-speed processing and automated tool changes.
- Expanded design freedom, allowing complex parts to be produced in one setup, reducing secondary operations.
- Superior consistency, ensuring every part meets the rigorous standards required in industries like defense, semiconductor, and advanced consumer electronics.
The Kitamura provides a level of accuracy previously thought hard to obtain. With Micron level tolerances we no longer have to “chase” dimensions. We can put a single part or 1000’s of parts through the system and maintain a high level of accuracy throughout the entire production run. This system meets the needs of our customers with high-end optics and laser system components. The Kitamura helps enable us to hit the high tolerances and consistency that we strive for.
The Kitamura seamlessly complements Sigma Design’s existing CNC machining, fabrication, and finishing capabilities, creating a fully integrated shop that performs with precision and flexibility. By combining the MedCenter-5AX with our in-house engineering, lab assembly, and quality inspection services, we can move from design to finished product faster which helps our customers stay ahead of their competition and meet their project goals.
At Sigma Design, every equipment investment is made with our clients in mind. The Kitamura MedCenter-5AX ensures that no matter how complex the project is, we can deliver high-quality parts on time, every time.
