The JTEKT FH5500S-i Horizontal Machining Center meets the growing industry demand for aggressive, high-volume machining. Its design focuses on achieving remarkable speed, rigidity, and reliability while delivering superior surface finishes. The core of its performance is the high acceleration spindle, which boasts 15-000 RPM- 50 HP (37 kW)– and 303 Nm (223 ft-lbs) of torque– coupled with a CAT50 taper.

To minimize non-cutting time, the machine utilizes a direct drive B-axis table featuring an ultrafast 0-7 second indexing time (90 degrees) and rapid feedrates of 2-362 ipm (60 m-min) across the X- Y- and Z-axes. The work envelope is substantial for its size, offering X-axis travel of 31-50 inches (900 mm) and Z-axis travel of 34-60 inches (880 mm). The 21-65 x 21-65 inch pallet supports a maximum load of 2-200 lbs (1-000 kg). Automation is handled by a standard 60-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)– with options available to expand capacity up to 330 tools. The FH5500S-i spindle design, preload system, and high torque features are optimized for taking advantage of more aggressive machining strategies in a surprisingly compact footprint.
