Used Toyoda Americas Machines We Buy

Who Makes Toyoda Machine Tools

Toyoda machine tools come from Toyoda Machine Works, Ltd., which JTEKT says started in 1941, separated from Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., with machine tools as its core business. In January 2006 Toyoda Machine Works and the bearing maker Koyo Seiko were integrated as JTEKT Corporation, now headquartered in Kariya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and a core member of the Toyota Group.

JTEKT once ran three business brands: JTEKT for automotive parts, KOYO for bearings and TOYODA for machine tools. For machine tools it has since unified under the JTEKT brand: its North American machinery company now sells its horizontals and grinders under the JTEKT name while its service team still covers Toyoda machines. So a Toyoda horizontal, grinder or vertical on a US floor is a JTEKT product line under its older name, and the spelling matters when you search for it: Toyoda with a d is the machine tool name.

Toyoda Machine Tool Milestones on JTEKT's Timeline

Machine tool entries from JTEKT's company history for the former Toyoda Koki, which runs to 2003, with the 2006 merger from JTEKT's own announcement:

JTEKT's Current Machine Lines

Horizontal machining centers lead JTEKT Machinery's current North American list: the FH5000 Series, FH630SX-i, FH800SX-i, FH1000SX, FH12500SX-i and FH1600SW-i, plus five-axis versions such as the FA1050S. JTEKT's vertical machining centers come with Fanuc controls, and its lathe list includes the NEX, EX-2000, LA and LS series.

Grinding is the other half of the line. JTEKT builds its GE Series cylindrical grinder for large and demanding workpieces and its GL Series for dedicated processes in high-production plants; both use a hydrostatic wheelhead bearing and way system, and the GL pairs JTEKT's patented STAT BEARING with a floating plate design. On a used GE or GL, wheelhead and way condition carry as much weight as the hours.

Toyoda in North America, or Selling Outright

JTEKT's history dates Toyoda Machinery USA Corp. to 1977. The North American company today is JTEKT Machinery Americas Corporation of Arlington Heights, Illinois, which says it runs over 200,000 square feet of operational and customer support space and a Rebuild and Remanufacturing Division in Wixom, Michigan, that has restored machining centers since the late 1970s. Its service team covers Toyoda machines along with JTEKT, WELE, AMS and Taiwan Takisawa equipment.

For a Toyoda you will keep running, that service and spindle rebuild network is the place to go. For one you want gone, we buy it outright, and paperwork from a spindle or wheelhead rebuild is worth sending with the details.

What Is in the 503 Toyoda Americas Listings

The 503 listings break out by category, and the split is not what a generic brand page would guess. CNC Grinding Machines is the largest typed row at 83. Horizontal machining is next at 67 rows across two category spellings, then CNC Vertical Machining Centers at 50 and CNC Gantry and Portal Mills at 13. Turning is thin: 11 CNC Lathes plus one CNC Turning Center. Boring runs 6 rows across three spellings, CNC Drives and Motors holds 3, and CNC Automation and Pallet Systems and CNC Drilling and Tapping Centers hold one row each. The remaining 267 sit in the general Metal Cutting bucket and a two-row miscellaneous catch-all, catalog fields rather than classes of machine, so neither is counted as a type. The number that matters most: 427 distinct model designations across 503 listings. The listings that record a build year run from 1971 to 2022, on 191 of the 503.

FH and FA Toyoda Horizontal Machining Centers

FH is the largest family roll-up in this book at 27 listings, filing as 13 Metal Cutting, 12 CNC Horizontal Machining Centers and 1 CNC Horizontal Boring Mill. FA follows at 22, filing 12 Metal Cutting, 9 HMC and 1 VMC. Below those roll-ups sit the designations a buyer actually types. FH400J appears 7 times, 5 of them filing as HMC and 2 as Metal Cutting. FH550SX, FH630SX and FH630S each appear 4 times. FH1250SX, FH450S, FH500J and FH45 each appear 3 times, and FH45 is the only family in the hub that files entirely to HMC, all three rows. On the FA side, FA630, FA550 and FA800 sit at 5 each, FA450 at 4, FA550II and FA800S at 3. FH550S, FH550R and FH1000SX each appear twice. Our own horizontal machining sell page types Toyoda as the FH series, which is the line we see most coming off automotive floors.

GE, GL and SELECT Toyoda Grinders

CNC Grinding Machines at 83 rows is the largest typed machine class in this hub, and it is the side of Toyoda most brand pages skip. GL4P appears 9 times and files 6 rows to grinding. GL4A also appears 9 times, filing 4 to grinding and 5 to Metal Cutting. SELECT sits at 7 with 6 grinding rows. GE4P, GE6I and GL6P each appear 6 times with 4 grinding rows apiece. GL4I appears 4 times and files entirely to CNC Grinding Machines, the only family in the book that does. GL7A, GE4I, GL5I, GC32M, GE6P and SELECTG7 each appear 4 times, with GL5A, GL, GL7P, GUP28 and GL5P at 3. GE6A, SELECTG, GON, GU4 and TG4 each appear twice, with no category join recorded. Named strings in the listings include GL4P-100EII, GUP28-100, GL5A-63II, GE4P-50, GL6A-32, GL4A-50, GE6I-100 and GON-20-100. Our cylindrical grinder page types the Toyoda GE series by name.

FV Verticals, Gantry Mills and the Turning Tail

Everything outside the horizontals and grinders sits in this section. CNC Vertical Machining Centers carries 50 rows. FV is the family our VMC page types by name, and it appears 12 times, filing 9 Metal Cutting and 3 VMC. FV1165 ties FH400J for the highest single-string count in the hub at 5, and the FV1680 family sits at 4. 1060V and BM1600 each appear 3 times with two VMC rows apiece, BM appears 4 times, STEALTH 4 times. CNC Gantry and Portal Mills holds 13 rows, and SB316YM at 3 is the only family whose category join includes a gantry row. SB316 and SB216 each appear twice. Turning is present but shallow at 12 rows: LA at 7, EX and NEX at 4 each, LS and GT at 3. DTC at 3 carries the hub's single drilling and tapping row. TP at 6 and TPR at 3 close out the tail, filing to the general buckets rather than a machine class.

What Moves the Offer on a Used Toyoda

Six things decide the number. Brand and model, build year, condition, spindle hours, configuration and capability, and what the secondary market is doing that month. On this book they weigh differently by line. Pallet configuration and control generation carry the horizontal rows, where an FH or an FA gets scoped on the pallet count and changer it actually has rather than on a catalog spec. Wheel and dressing condition, and whether the machine still holds its tolerance, carry the 83 grinder rows. Work envelope carries the 13 gantry and portal rows. Control type matters on all of them: tell us whether the screen is Fanuc, Siemens or OEM. Year spread is why this gets specific: the listings here that record a build year run from 1971 to 2022, so two machines wearing the same designation can be decades apart. Jason Puuri scopes each one himself rather than running a formula.

Selling a Toyoda Outright Instead of Listing It

MTE buys the machine. We are not an auction site, not a broker and not a consignment yard, so there is no listing and no consignment wait. One call, one quote, one transaction, usually back within 24 to 48 hours of getting the model, year, control type and spindle hours. Condition does not gate it: running and under power, idle since a job ended, decommissioned, or not running. We buy a single grinder or an entire floor on one quote and one pickup schedule built around your production calendar. We can arrange rigging, crating and freight in all 50 states, and we can arrange the pickup. If the floor is mixed, Mazak, Makino, Okuma, DMG Mori, Doosan and Haas equipment goes on the same quote. We have bought in the used CNC market as an affiliate of Superior Machine and Tool since 2012.
