JTEKT Toyoda Americas Corporation will feature 15 machines at IMTS, six of which will be new, along with automation, IoT solutions and presentations. New machine exhibits include a 5-axis VMC for titanium machining, universal grinding machines with adjustable wheelhead, a multipurpose turning center with twin turret and twin spindle, and a production type machine for gear manufacturing.
Featured New Technology
Toyoda's new UA2090Ti 5-axis is designed to achieve enhanced structural rigidity and precision for large parts. The machine features a 2-axis tilting head, high torque A and B axes with gear driven design and hybrid box and linear guideway construction. It will demonstrate machining of titanium and hard alloy components.
Designed for heavy cutting applications, the Stealth VB215 features enhanced technology supported by Toyoda's cast iron headstock and vibration dampening technology. A compact Z-axis ram construction supports the VB's 6,000 RPM high-performance geared-head spindle, providing stable milling and drilling operations.
A versatile universal grinding machine with a manually adjustable wheelhead for straight and angular applications, the newly launched GL4i-50 Switch features 45° swivel increment for flexible grinding of smaller diameter journals. Faster cycle times and a reduced probability of burning on face grinds are a result of stabilized grinding from a reinforced new bed design and New Toyopuc-Touch control. Designed for large part grinding applications, the GL4i-100 Switch is Toyoda's latest universal grinding model with a 400 mm swing, increased part capacity and adjustable wheelhead for straight and angled configurations.
The compact GS200H targets high production lines, offering improved productivity and flexible machining by integrating gear part processes of a lathe, gear skiving and machining center capabilities in one.
Making its U.S. debut, the Takisawa Taiwan MX-800 multi-purpose turning center is built for process integration and high productivity. It comes standard with heavy duty twin upper T15 turrets, built-in twin spindle and twin Y-axis, 2" bar capacity (up to 2.5") and 8" chucks.
"Revolutionizing shop floors into smart factories, Toyoda takes the fundamental approach of IoT combined with its rich automotive production history to encompass Internet of Everything (IoE)," said a company spokesperson. "IoE encompasses connectivity, data transmission and analytics of both people and machine-all fundamentals of Toyota's 'Andon' system."
Toyoda's smart manufacturing product initiatives include:
- Connectivity solutions: Toyopuc Plus and Nano PLCs
- Visualization solutions: machine metrics, Toyopuc Touch HMI and Signal Hop
- Value solutions: Toyopuc Touch AAA.
