Toyoda Machinery has announced its new quill spindle horizontal machining center, the FH1250SW. This quill spindle version of the FH1250SX combines the original HMC's speed with the capabilities of a boring mill, developed to increase efficiency and versatility of large part machining through process integration. The machine demonstrates maximum power during large diameter drilling and boring cuts. The 60-horsepower, 3,000-rpm spindle boasts 968 ft./lbs. of torque, making it ideal for steel and casting applications. Equipped with a 5.11 inch quill diameter, the FH1250SW is capable of a 21.6 inch W-axis stroke. The spindle is engineered with proprietary bearing technology capable of accommodating a cutting thrust load up to 4,500 ft./lbs. The machine's standard NC table supports workpieces up to 11,000 lbs./5,000 kg table load capacity, and the Y shaped pallet changer configuration allows for simultaneous setup of two pallets. The FH1250SW is equipped with dual axis ball screws in both Z and Y axis. The oil-chilled ball screws are included on the x, y and z axes to suppress thermal displacement during long cycle times. The 49x49 inch pallets with X, Y and Z travels allow for large applications to be handled with ease, the company reports.
