TOYODA FH550SX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Toyoda FH550SX is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for precision and heavy-duty machining applications. It features a **21.65" x 21.65" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **1,760 lbs**. Equipped with a **horizontal CAT50 spindle**, the machine offers a standard top spindle speed of **6,000 RPM**, with an optional upgrade to **8,000 RPM**, powered by a **40 HP motor** with a 50 HP option. The spindle utilizes a direct drive design, delivering up to 442 ft-lb of torque. With a **four-axis configuration**, expandable to five axes, it provides robust travel ranges of **29.52" (X), 31.5" (Y), and 33.46" (Z)**, all with rapid feedrates of **2,362 inches per minute**. Tool handling is managed by an **automatic tool changer (ATC)** with a standard capacity of **60 tools**, which can be expanded up to 504 tools. Tool change time is efficient at approximately 2.4 seconds, with chip-to-chip time at 3.6 seconds. A dual-pallet system is standard, with options for up to 300 pallets to enhance flexibility and minimize downtime. The machine is equipped with advanced control systems (typically Fanuc Series 30i or 31i CNC), ensuring high-precision contour control, linear positioning accuracy of ±0.00012" over full travel, and repeatability of ±0.00008". Additional features may include through-spindle coolant, pallet changers, and integrated probing systems for tool length and breakage detection, supporting complex, high-precision manufacturing requirements. This machining center is ideal for industries demanding high rigidity and accuracy, such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
