The AA1365 is a robust and powerful Vertical Machining Center designed by JTEKT Wele for manufacturers who demand high load capacities and consistent precision. Part of the production-focused AA-65 Series, its foundation is a massive Meehanite cast iron base that minimizes vibration and ensures structural integrity throughout the machining process. Critical to its heavy-duty performance are the four Y-axis box guideways, which provide exceptional support and stability to the spindle head, enabling the machine to handle deep and aggressive cuts with high accuracy—a characteristic demonstrated in demanding operations like trochoidal milling.

Featuring a large table size of 57.1 inches x 25.6 inches, the AA1365 offers substantial working volume with axis travels of 51.2 inches (X-axis), 25.6 inches (Y-axis), and 23.6 inches (Z-axis). Power is delivered by a high-performance 25 HP spindle motor operating at 6,000 RPM and utilizing a CAT50 tool taper, ensuring the torque and rigidity necessary for machining a wide range of materials, including ferrous steels, non-ferrous aluminum, and challenging high-temperature alloys. Equipped with fully-equipped standard Fanuc controls, the AA1365 delivers the reliability and flexibility needed to lower your cost per part across diverse production applications.
