JTEKT FH1000SX

Q: How much does the JTEKT FH1000SX cost?

The price estimate for the JTEKT FH1000SX is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/jtekt-fh1000sx#price; the request is passed to JTEKT or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the JTEKT FH1000SX that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The JTEKT FH1000SX is a CAT50 horizontal machining center with a rectangular 39.37 x 31.5 in (1,000 x 800 mm) pallet and a standard pallet load of 6,600 lb (3,000 kg), with 8,800 lb (4,000 kg) listed as an option. Travels are 62.99 in (1,600 mm) in X, 55.11 in (1,400 mm) in Y and 72.83 in (1,850 mm) in Z.

The pallet is not square, and that shapes how the machine gets used. Its long side suits bar-shaped castings, manifolds and frames clamped lengthwise, while B-axis rotation still clears a 70.86 in (1,800 mm) swing. Workpiece height is limited to 62.99 in (1,600 mm). Z travel, at 72.83 in (1,850 mm), is longer than the swing diameter, so the table can retract well clear of a long tool even with a full-size part on it.

Read the spindle information on JTEKT's page carefully, because it does not agree with itself. The specification table lists 8,000 and 15,000 RPM with 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm) of torque. The description above it names a 6,000 RPM spindle as the base, with 8,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM as options, and the spindle notes credit the 8,000 RPM unit with up to 963 ft-lbs. Which spindle, at which torque, is on a given quotation is a question for JTEKT.

What the sources agree on is the build. Y and Z each have dual ballscrew drive and the base is Meehanite cast iron. The 8,000 RPM spindle has dual cylindrical roller bearings with a 110 mm bearing inner diameter; the 15,000 RPM one runs ceramic bearings of 120 mm ID and is described as suited to lighter cutting forces. Rapid feedrate is 2,126 ipm (54 m/min), and tool storage is 60, 121, 240 or 330.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

6,600 lb (3,000 kg) pallet load as standard, with 8,800 lb (4,000 kg) listed as an option
Rectangular 39.37 x 31.5 in (1,000 x 800 mm) pallet for long castings and frames
72.83 in (1,850 mm) of Z travel with a 70.86 in (1,800 mm) workpiece swing
CAT50 spindle listed at 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm)
Dual ballscrew drive on the Y and Z axes and a Meehanite cast iron base

Limitations

JTEKT's table and its description disagree on the spindle range: the table shows 8,000 and 15,000 RPM, the description adds a 6,000 RPM base spindle
Two torque figures are published, 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm) in the table and up to 963 ft-lbs in the spindle notes
The 8,800 lb (4,000 kg) pallet load is an option, not the standard rating
Rapid feedrate of 2,126 ipm (54 m/min) is below the 2,362 ipm (60 m/min) listed for the FH5000S-i

Best For

Long, heavy castings clamped along the long side of the pallet Parts and fixtures up to 8,800 lb (4,000 kg) with the load option Deep boring across a 70.86 in (1,800 mm) swing Heavy CAT50 milling in iron and steel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much weight can the FH1000SX pallet carry?

The table lists a maximum load on the pallet of 6,600 lb (3,000 kg) and an optional 8,800 lb (4,000 kg). The option has to be ordered with the machine, so decide on it from the heaviest part and fixture you expect, not the average one.

02 What spindle does the FH1000SX have?

A CAT50 spindle. The specification table lists 8,000 and 15,000 RPM and 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm) of torque. JTEKT's description of the machine also names a 6,000 RPM spindle with the 8,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM units as options, and its notes give up to 963 ft-lbs for the 8,000 RPM spindle. Those statements don't line up, so confirm the spindle and its torque on the quotation.

03 What are the travels and part limits?

X is 62.99 in (1,600 mm), Y is 55.11 in (1,400 mm) and Z is 72.83 in (1,850 mm). The pallet measures 39.37 x 31.5 in (1,000 x 800 mm). Maximum workpiece swing is 70.86 in (1,800 mm) and maximum workpiece height is 62.99 in (1,600 mm).

04 Is the FH1000SX just a larger FH800SX-i?

Largely, yes. The FH800SX-i has a 31.50 x 31.50 in (800 x 800 mm) pallet, 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) of pallet load and 61.02 in (1,550 mm) of Z travel. The FH1000SX lengthens the pallet to 39.37 x 31.5 in (1,000 x 800 mm) and raises load and travels. Both list the same rapid feedrate, 2,126 ipm (54 m/min), and the same tool storage sizes.

05 How many tools does it hold?

Tool storage is listed at 60, 121, 240 and 330. The page gives no maximum tool diameter, length or weight. On a machine with 72.83 in (1,850 mm) of Z travel, long boring bars are likely, so check the tool length limit of the magazine you choose.
