New Toyoda VMCs Offer Superior Performance in Heavy-Duty and High-Speed Machining

May 13, 2008 

Arlington Heights, IL – Toyoda Machinery announces the technology upgrade to its line of vertical machining centers. Toyoda successfully launched its VMC line into the market in 2006.  Hundreds of machines have been sold since the initial product launch. Building on this success, Toyoda has developed the new FV Series, the second generation of vertical machining centers, designed for better performance and reliability.

The new line will deliver larger table size, increased stroke, higher table capacity and more torque than the original machines. The high-speed linear guide and box way VMCs offer a range of spindle options for high precision and heavy-cutting application. The FV Series ranges from 6,000 to 15,000 rpm and delivers high revolution accuracy, thermal stability, and maximum vibration dampening characteristics. The large precision spindle bearings increase rigidity and sustain higher load capacities.

Toyoda’s FV Series has an extremely rigid cast iron base and column, providing long-term accuracy and durability in high-speed machining. Many high-torque and direct-drive spindle configurations are available in CAT 40 or CAT 50 tapers. A conversational control and industry-standard Fanuc platform make the FV Series a practical addition to any shop.

Toyoda Machinery Introduces its Largest HMC; Delivers High Torque and Rigidity

February 29, 2008

Arlington Heights, IL – The FH-SX series of horizontal machining centers from Toyoda Machinery features a newly designed column and high-torque spindle to speed through steel without compromising rigidity. Based on the success of this line and market demand, Toyoda introduces its largest HMC, the FH1250SX. 

The FH1250SX is designed to provide the cutting power of a boxway machine with more than 50 percent higher rapid traverse rates (1655 IPM) than the previous generation FA series machine. The machine’s 60 horsepower, 8,000 rpm high-torque spindle provides 737 ft/lbs. of torque for demanding material removal applications.

The column of the FH1250SX is designed to support the spindles cutting power by utilizing dual ball screws that surround the spindle housing, thus maintaining rigidity and accuracy while increasing tool life and performance. The cavernous work envelope of the FH1250SX allows workpiece sizes of 94.5”x70.9” as well as a table load capacity of 10,000 pounds.
