Toyoda's FA1050 5-axis horizontal machining center is suitable for boring, endmilling, threading and U-axis machining. Toyoda says it starts at the core of the machine to provide long machine life while minimizing tool breakage and unneeded upkeep.

Toyoda's FA1050 5-axis machine begins with a solid cast iron base combined with full-plate clamping mechanism withholding up to 26,000 lbs. of table clamp force. Shop owners can expect to achieve stable axial feed at high speeds during heavy workloads because of the machines rigid core.

Spindle support from four heavy duty bearings—robust double-row cylindrical roller bearings and dual angular contact thrust bearings—eliminates vibration. The boxway machine performs rapid acceleration and consistency with its 60-hp spindle drive motor at 6,000 rpm of geared head tough cutting.

Unstable machining on difficult metals is a recipe for disaster. The FA1050 5-axis' solid structure secures versatile, accurate and highly competitive machining on difficult materials such as Hastelloy, Inconel and Nichrome.
