See the Newest in Horizontal and Vertical Machining from Toyoda at Westec Booth #3232


Arlington Heights, IL - Toyoda Machinery is anticipating a busy and exciting 2008 Westec. Toyoda's newest horizontal and vertical machining and grinder technology will be on exhibit with the company's west coast distributor, Selway Machine Tool.

Products on display are to include Toyoda's new line of vertical machining centers and the new FH550SX HMC with a matrix tool magazine. The FH-SX horizontal machining center is designed to provide the cutting power of a boxway machine with 20 percent faster feed rates. Features include a newly designed column and high-torque spindle to speed through steel without compromising rigidity.

The SX Series machines have a 40 horsepower, 6,000 rpm spindle. The high-performance spindle has double the driving force on the Y axis, with a ballscrew and motor on each side of the spindle. The SX Series software has automatic compensation to protect against thermal growth in the ballscrew. Thus, the integrity of the ballscrew is not compromised by internal cooling mechanisms.

Also on display will be a BM vertical machining center, designed for heavy-duty machining of ferrous materials. The BM Series, with 6,000-8,000 RPM geared headstock, is ideal for heavy-duty applications in ferrous materials such as cast iron and steel. The rigid iron base is paired with four Y-axis box guideways to eliminate saddle overhang while the extra-wide column expands machining capability. Many high-torque and direct-drive spindle configurations are available in CAT 40 or CAT 50 tapers.
