TOYODA FA-800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Toyoda FA-800 Horizontal Machining Center is a heavy-duty CNC machine designed for precise and powerful metalworking. It features a robust structure with dimensions approximately 173 by 266 inches and a weight of about 60,500 pounds. This machine includes a 6,000 RPM CAT 50 spindle powered by a 40 HP motor, capable of high torque output (up to 391 ft-lb) for demanding machining tasks. It operates with a Fanuc 16i-MB CNC control, providing reliable 4-axis simultaneous control including a B-axis with fine 1° indexing, enhancing versatility in complex part machining. The work envelope offers travels of 53.1 inches (X), 45.2 inches (Y), and 45.2 inches (Z), supported by dual Y-axis ballscrews ensuring precision and rigidity. Pallet handling is equipped with two 31.5" x 31.5" pallets, each capable of holding a maximum load of 5,500 pounds, allowing efficient workpiece changeover and extended production runs. The machine utilizes a 60-station automatic tool changer, accommodating a wide range of tools with rapid tool change times to optimize cycle times. Additional features include coolant-through-spindle capability for improved tool life and chip management systems such as a chip conveyor and coolant tank with pump. Rapid feed rates reach up to 944 inches per minute (24 m/min) across all axes, supporting high-speed machining. The durable box-type guideways and sturdy machine bed further contribute to high accuracy and longevity, making the FA-800 suitable for heavy and precision horizontal machining applications in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
