2D CNC unveils next-generation Toyoda SX-i HMC
The latest generation of Toyoda SX-i horizontal machining centres is launched in the UK by 2D CNC Machinery. Offering 800 and 630 mm pallet sizes, the Japanese machine tool manufacturer is claiming best-in-class for workpiece swing, axis strokes and cutting performance. The larger Toyoda FH800SX-i, for example, has a workpiece swing of 1,500 mm for parts up to 1,500 mm in height and weighing up to 2.5 tonnes. X-axis travel is 1,450 mm by 1,250 mm in Y, while the Z-axis is 1,550 mm. Each axis is able to travel at up to 54 m/min with an acceleration of 4.9 m/sec².
The machines offer a choice of linear scale positioning or the latest Toyoda development of a displacement sensor at the end of each ballscrew drive to monitor and measure elongation of the entire screw with feedback correction.
