Efficient Five-Axis Machining Begins at the Core

In Booth S-8159, Toyoda Machinery USA (Arlington Heights, IL) will present the FA1050 5-Axis horizontal machining center with a solid base, the highest removal rate in its class, and lowest required maintenance that allows for a longer tool and machine life. The FA1050 5-Axis HMC provides all the capabilities wanted of boring, end milling, finish cutting, threading and U-axis machining, while maintaining accuracy at the industry’s fastest removal rate. This is the core of the machine that gives shops not only the longest machine life, but minimizes tool breakage and unneeded upkeep.

The FA1050 5-Axis machine begins with a solid cast iron base combined with full-plate clamping mechanism withholding up to 26,000 lb of table clamp force. Shop owners can expect to achieve stable axial feed at high speeds during heavy workloads due to the machines rigid core. Spindle support from four heavy duty bearings – robust double-row cylindrical roller bearings and dual angular contact thrust bearings – eliminates vibration. The boxway machine performs rapid acceleration and consistency with its 60 hp spindle drive motor at 6,000 rpm of geared head tough cutting. Unstable machining on difficult metals is a recipe for disaster. The FA1050 5-Axis’ solid structure secures versatile, accurate and highly competitive machining on difficult materials such as Hastelloy™, Inconel™ and Nichrome, among other exotic metals.
