JTEKT Toyoda Americas Corporation has recently introduced its FH5000 series of three high-speed horizontal machining centers (HMC), including the FH5000S HMC with 800X800X880 mm (x, y, z) strokes, 900mm workpiece diameter, and 1100mm workpiece height capacity. The FH5000 series machines include a 500mm table capable of handling 1000 kg loads.
Toyoda's new GS300H5 Gear Skiving Center is the first in the world to equip a skiving function to a general purpose horizontal machining center (HMC), through which mass production of gear parts is achieved. CNC controls and a high speed rotary table were developed specifically to achieve high-speed, multifunctional machining, as a compact and lightweight product, simple in programming functions.
