Compact horizontal machining centers and column-traverse vertical and horizontal machines.
About KIWA
KIWA Machinery is based in Nabari, Mie, Japan. It started manufacturing lathes in 1933, horizontal machining centers in 1996 and a 5-axis vertical machining center in 2008. (Source: KIWA company history.)
KIWA's horizontal machining centers are known for narrow machine widths (the KH-4100kai is 1,530 mm wide), and its Triple-series machines use a column-traverse structure with a fixed table.
Coming to JIMTOF 2026 (Tokyo, Oct 26-31): KIWA Triple V22: a 2-pallet vertical machining center with simultaneous 5-axis on both pallets. Read more
