TOYODA FH550S HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Toyoda FH550S is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in machining complex parts. It features a **21.65" x 21.65" horizontal table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **1,540 lbs**. The machine is equipped with a **horizontal CAT40 spindle** capable of speeds up to **15,000 RPM** and a **30 HP (30-minute rating) motor**, delivering high torque for demanding cutting operations. The FH550S includes a **60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC)** with an optional expansion up to 504 tools, facilitating long, uninterrupted production runs. Tool change times are optimized for efficiency, with 1.6 seconds tool-to-tool and 2.7 seconds chip-to-chip. This machining center operates on **4 axes** (optionally 5) with large travels of **29.52" (X), 31.5" (Y), and 33.46" (Z)**, each capable of rapid traverse rates up to **2,362 inches per minute**, making it suitable for high-speed, precise machining tasks. A pallet changer is standard, supporting 2 pallets and expandable up to 15, improving throughput by minimizing downtime between setups. The machine’s robust design includes Meehanite cast iron components for enhanced rigidity and thermal stability, ensuring repeatable accuracy. Controls typically involve Fanuc systems, supporting complex multi-axis programming. Overall, the Toyoda FH550S combines high-speed spindle capabilities, substantial work envelope, fast tool changes, and pallet handling, making it ideal for automotive, aerospace, and heavy industrial machining requiring both precision and productivity.
