JTEKT FH5000-I HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The JTEKT FH5000-I is a compact horizontal machining center engineered for high-speed production and precision metalworking. It features a robust 50 HP spindle delivering 15,000 RPM with 303 Nm of torque, enabling rapid material removal across diverse workpiece geometries. The machine accommodates a 21.65-inch pallet with dual-pallet configuration and continuous 4th-axis indexing capability for complex multi-sided component machining. Travel ranges of 31.49 inches on X and Y axes and 34.64 inches on Z provide substantial working envelope, while rapid traverse rates reaching 2,362 inches per minute ensure minimal non-cutting time. The CAT#40 spindle nose integrates high-pressure coolant delivery at 1,000 PSI for efficient chip evacuation and tool life extension. The 119-tool chain-type automatic tool changer achieves rapid 0.9-second tool-to-tool cycle times with 3-second chip-to-chip performance, maximizing throughput on job-shop and production applications. A direct-drive B-axis table enables 90-degree pallet indexing with minimal dead time between operations. The FANUC 31iMB CNC controller provides 8MB memory, 48 work offsets, and 220 tool offsets for comprehensive program flexibility. Integrated chip conveyor system facilitates automatic chip management, while the patented removable spindle taper technology streamlines maintenance and spindle changeover procedures. This platform excels at finishing operations, casting machining, and precision component production requiring superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
