The AA1165 Vertical Machining Center is a cornerstone of the JTEKT Wele AA-65 Series- designed to provide high-speed, high-performance, and high load capacity machining to lower your cost per part effectively. Built for sustained heavy cutting, its foundation is a massive Meehanite cast iron base and a structure that utilizes four Y-axis box guideways, ensuring exceptional rigidity and vibration dampening across its operating envelope. The machine offers substantial work volume with a 51.2-inch by 25.6-inch table and travels of 43.3 inches (X-axis), 25.6 inches (Y-axis), and 23.6 inches (Z-axis).

Powering the AA1165 is a robust 25 HP spindle motor paired with a CAT50 tool taper, capable of reaching speeds up to 6,000 RPM. This combination is optimized for machining a wide spectrum of materials, including challenging ferrous metals, non-ferrous aluminum, and difficult high-temperature alloys such as titanium and stainless steel. A key feature of the AA1165 is its inclusion of standard fourth-axis prep, enabling immediate integration of a rotary table for multi-sided machining and process consolidation. The machine comes fully equipped with Standard Fanuc Controls, providing reliable and familiar operational control for complex production environments.
