Booth Concept 

In the US manufacturing industry, there are challenges such as recruiting, upskilling, and securing a workforce. As a Solution Provider with precise, durable manufacturing equipments, we introduce the latest solutions of machining centers, grinders, maintenance/repair and automated manufacturing cells with robots that contribute to these issues. 

 Featured Exhibits 

FH630SXi Horizontal Machining Center & 2-Level Vertical Pallet Pool

The combination of 2-level pallet pool automation, adaptive control, large tool complements on-board, and 25% higher part density in a compact footprint offers manufacturers a truly optimized production platform at a competitive price. 

 FH5500SX-i Horizontal Machining Center

Advanced high-torque spindle design and direct drive B-axis table rigidity enable aggressive, high-volume machining in a compact footprint. Owing to a design with less thermal displacement, it reduces machining errors and increases productivity. Its 240-tool ATC (Auto Tool Changer) and plenty of other user-friendly features make the machine setup smoother. GL5Ai-32 Grinder (STAT BEARING? Equipped)

The GL Series cylindrical grinding machine is purpose-built for dedicated processes in high-production environments, delivering both speed and precision where efficiency matters most. JTEKT's STAT BEARING?, a hydrostatic bearing system for grinding wheel, provides superior rigidity, smooth movement, and long-lasting accuracy under continuous operation.

GL4i-100 SWITCH Grinder

Designed for both straight and angular grinding, the manually adjustable 45-degree swivel wheelhead enables faster cycle times, improved surface finishes, and reduced thermal damage. We will highlight the versatility of JTEKT Grinding Machines, along with operational simplicity via our original CNC, TOYOPUC?.
