Takisawa Taiwan announced Toyoda Americas as its master distributor for turning centers throughout Mexico and select U.S. markets in 2016. Since then, the duo has provided a high-quality, complete turning machine alongside full-service technical support, the company reports.

Developed after gathering customer data showing a need for a more compact solution capable of mass producing small parts, Takisawa Taiwan's NEX-105 linear turning center is brand new to the line, having hit the shop floor January 2017. Smallest of the NEX series, the NEX-105 offers spindle speed up to 6,000 rpm and fast indexing capabilities on its linear roller bearing guideway.
