Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from JTEKT. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The JTEKT e-500H is a horizontal machining center whose published figures are about speed between cuts: 60 m/min rapid traverse, 9.8 m/s2 of rapid feed acceleration and a tool change time of 2.5 seconds. Z travel is 850 mm. JTEKT gives the tool change as C-C time for the #40 spindle specifications, so the figure belongs to that spindle.

On short moves acceleration counts for more than top rapid speed. At 9.8 m/s2 the axes spend little of each move getting up to speed, and the time between closely spaced features falls along with the tool change. The B axis has a rapid feed rotating speed of 40 min-1, which keeps the move from one face of a part to the next short.

Only these rows are confirmed. X and Y travel, pallet size, spindle speed, spindle power and tool capacity are not in the table and need to come from JTEKT before the machine is matched to a part.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How fast is the e-500H between cuts?

JTEKT lists 60 m/min rapid traverse, 9.8 m/s2 of rapid feed acceleration and a B-axis rapid feed rotating speed of 40 min-1. The tool change time is 2.5 seconds, given as C-C time for the #40 spindle specifications.

02 What is the Z travel of the e-500H?

850 mm. It is the only linear travel in the table; X and Y travel are not listed. For comparison, the FH630SX is listed with 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Z travel.
