Why Manufacturers Choose KIWA

A fifth-generation, family-owned CNC machine tool builder, KIWA machines are designed to maximize spindle utilization and reduce non-cutting time. Their emphasis on palletization, simplicity, and reliability allows manufacturers to improve productivity without unnecessary complexity.

Integrated Pallet Changers for Continuous Machining

KIWA horizontal machining centers are equipped with a dual-pallet automatic pallet changer as standard. This allows operators to load and unload parts while machining continues, increasing spindle uptime and reducing idle time. Through Methods Services, KIWA HMCs can be expanded in the field to hold an additional 4 or 6 pallets.

Compact Horizontal Machining Design

KIWA machines deliver strong cutting performance within a compact footprint. This allows manufacturers to install multiple machines efficiently and scale production without expanding floor space.

Simple, Reliable Mechanical Architecture

KIWA focuses on mechanical simplicity to improve reliability and ease of maintenance. Fewer complex systems reduce downtime and long-term operating costs.

Designed for Automation Integration

Multi-pallet automation is available on all KIWA machines, both at point of purchase or available even after the machine is on your floor. This makes KIWA well suited for small shops who made need to manage through a surge of high-production orders all the way up through high-production environments running thousands of parts.

Benefits of KIWA Machining Centers

KIWA machines offer a balance of productivity, accuracy, and cost efficiency for production-focused manufacturers.

Higher Spindle Utilization

Pallet changers enable continuous machining, allowing machines to spend more time cutting and less time waiting for part changes.

Consistent Accuracy in Production

Rigid construction and stable motion control help KIWA machines maintain reliable tolerances across long production runs.

Lower Cost of Ownership

Efficient energy use, simple maintenance requirements, and durable components contribute to strong long-term ROI.

Flexible Production Capability

KIWA platforms support both high-volume production and high-mix job shop applications with quick changeovers and repeatable setups.

Automation-Ready CNC Performance

KIWA machines integrate smoothly with robotic tending and pallet systems supported by Methods Services.
