Toyoda FA550II HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1998 Toyoda FA550II Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision CNC machine designed for versatile and efficient machining operations. It features a robust Fanuc 15-M CNC control system that provides reliable, user-friendly operation and programming flexibility. The machine offers substantial travel capabilities with X and Y axes each providing approximately 29.5 inches (749.3 mm), and a Z-axis travel of about 23.6 inches (599.4 mm), enabling machining of relatively large and complex components. The working pallet measures 21.6 by 21.6 inches (548.6 mm square) and supports heavy loads, typically around 1,760 lbs, ensuring stability during cutting processes. Equipped with a powerful 40 HP spindle motor, the FA550II supports a maximum spindle speed of up to 14,000 RPM, suitable for a variety of cutting materials and applications. The spindle employs a CAT 50 taper for compatibility with a wide range of tooling. This model includes a 60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), which enhances productivity by enabling efficient tool switching during multi-operation jobs. The machine is a 4-axis horizontal machining center, allowing for rotary pallet indexing that improves flexibility in complex part machining. Additional features include coolant through spindle delivery for effective cooling and chip evacuation, improving tool life and machining quality. The FA550II is built with a rigid structure supporting rapid feed rates up to approximately 1,400 IPM, ensuring fast and precise material removal. With a robust build weight around 13,600 kg (30,000 lbs), this machining center provides excellent stability for demanding production environments. Overall, the Toyoda FA550II offers precise, versatile, and efficient horizontal machining capabilities for advanced manufacturing needs.
