Quality and precision are critical in machining complex aerospace parts, with tighter tolerances and faster cycle times becoming increasingly more vital to the industry. Through years of research and development, JTEKT Machinery has brought to market a series of machining centers, bridge and gantry machines, and grinding machines to produce higher volumes without losing the quality of the workpiece.

We have been supporting the aircraft and aerospace industry for 30+ years and our bearings are used in many of the jet engines manufactured in Japan. By providing the latest technology, we keep satisfying every rotation technology need from the ground to outer space. The same technology is applied in our machining center spindle bearings.
As the aerospace industry evolves into more complex machined parts, JTEKT Machinery's 5-axis machines enable large workpieces to be easily loaded that often don't fit easily to a 3 or 4-axis operation. From the highly rigid platform to the flexible tilt/swivel spindle, JTEKT Machinery's 5-axis machines combine the stability and versatility that shop owners look for and need when machining parts with complex geometry in a single setup.
FIVE-AXIS MACHINES
JTEKT Machinery's high-performance spindles support heavy and hard cuts while suppressing vibration and runout from the lowest to highest spindle speeds. The spindle design also features four bearings at the front of the spindle; a double row of cylindrical roller bearings located over the taper to provide radial rigidity, and dual angular bearings to maximize axial stability. The 8,000 RPM, 1,202 Nm (886 ft-lb) spindle is available in the FH-SX series horizontal machining centers - bringing an extraordinary amount of speed and power to the machining process.
FH-SX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTERS:
| FH630SXi (630 mm pallet) | FH800SXi (800 mm pallet) | FH1000SX (1,000 mm pallet) |
| FH1250SX (1,250 mm pallet) | FH1600SWi (1,600 mm pallet) |
JTEKT Machinery machines are designed to offset the intense heat and high cutting forces generated when manufacturing heat resistant super alloy like titanium. Since machining these challenging metals requires about two times the power that's needed to machine low-alloy steel, having these powerful machines on the shop floor factors into the supplier's overall manufacturing costs, and ultimately, determines the profitability of machining hard metals.
At JTEKT Machinery, our powerful and thermally stable machines, provide the most stable cutting environments by maximizing the machine's rigidity, minimizing the effects of vibration or chatter, and improving accuracy with box way construction throughout all three axes.
