That’s the challenge K-Fab, Inc., a shop in Berwick, Pennsylvania, faced when it sought to replace its old machining centers to take advantage of new advances in technology. After a thorough review and comparison of units from several top manufacturers, the company chose Kitamura Machinery’s HX series of HMCs.
