Compact Rotary Tables
Compact and versatile Kitagawa MR, TX, and TT Series
rotary tables offer robustness, high-production capacity,
and superior accuracy. The tables feature a large wormgear
module that provides a large area of contact between the
worm and wheel gear. A new alloy reduces wear, and a
special cross roller bearing prevents displacement under
load. Accuracy is guaranteed within 15 or 20 seconds in
most models. TX-Series tables feature a built-in air booster
for maximum clamping force for NC applications. Clamping
force of 1918 ft-lb (2600 N•m) with air pressure at 71
psi (4.9 bar) for 320 size, as an example. The lightweight

Modular Toolholder
System
The Preci-Flex modular
toolholder system is
a fast, accurate, and
cost-effective solution
for lathe tooling
changeovers. It features
a single baseholder and
multiple tooling adapters
that utilize the ER collet pocket. Compact design assures
maximum torque transmission and rigidity for increased
machining accuracy and improved productivity. A special
compact gearhobber system allows
shops to generate spline, spur, or helical
gears in one operation. The adjustable
system eliminates having to rough gears
on one machine and then transfer them
to another for gear hobbing. Built for
heavy machining loads, the gear hobber
system delivers 45 N•m of torque and
speeds to 3000 rpm for hobs or slotting
saws up to 2.48" (63 mm) in diameter.

Precision Modular
Boring System
Precision modular boring system
products are capable of delivering the
coolant flow directly to the cutting edge.
The product line includes four models. A
new precision finish head that includes
a Vernier scale that allows incremental
adjustments of 0.0001" (0.003 mm).
The twin-bore roughing system removes
metal four times faster than a single cutter.
The counter-balanced large diameter
boring system features reduced weight
and coolant delivery directly to the cutting
edge, as well as individual height
