May 8, 2017 – JTEKT Toyoda Americas celebrated the unveiling of their Great Lakes Technical Center April 19th and 20th. Nestled at the heart of the U.S. automotive industry and just under 40 miles from the Canadian border, Toyoda’s Wixom, Michigan based tech center will provide local sales application, turnkey and service support to manufacturers in the Great Lakes region.
Attendees caught a first look at the tech center’s four machines: FH500J horizontal machining center, Stealth 965 vertical machining center, and recent additions to the Toyoda lineup, Takisawa Taiwan’s NEX-105 and Stealth EX-108 turning centers. All four machines were set with varied application demonstrations showing off machining and dynamic milling applications.
The tech center shares the 75,000 sq. ft. facility with Toyoda’s Remanufactured Products Division (RPD). Dedicated much to the repairing and remanufacturing of machines since the 1970’s, RPD will continue to specialize in returning overworked machining centers to OEM specifications.
