May 3, 2019

FH630SX-5A supports large workpieces and difficult-to-cut materials

On March 14, 2019, JTEKT launched the FH630SX-5A, a 5-axis machining center designed to meet changing customer needs amid a declining workforce and global economic uncertainty.

The FH630SX-5A features dual rotary spindles—one on the table and one on the spindle head. It supports large workpieces mounted on a 630 mm square pallet, with a maximum diameter of 1,170 mm, maximum height of 1,600 mm, and loading capacity up to 1,500 kg.

High-rigidity construction and broad material compatibility

The machine is compatible with a wide range of materials, including aluminum alloys, iron-based materials, and titanium alloys, making it suitable for machining difficult-to-cut materials. A 15,000 rpm high-rigidity spindle is standard, and the mechanical structure adopts a back-column design for improved stability and cutting performance.

Target industries include aerospace, energy, agricultural, and construction machinery. Annual production is planned at 20 units, with a standard price of 86.3 million yen in Japan.
