Toyo Advanced Technologies
Toyo Advanced Technologies is a top Japanese manufacturer of internal grinding machines for final finishing of parts, and we have previously developed horizontal internal grinding machines suited for mass production. Due to diversification of the market and other trends, Toyo noticed a significant potential for commercialization of space-saving vertical internal grinding machines suited to high-diversity low-volume production. As a first step in this direction, we have developed the T-182S vertical centerless grinding machine designed for machining products such as medium-sized bearings. In the area of vertical machines, Toyo manufactures profile grinders used for machining non-circular parts, but this is our first step into the market for vertical grinding machines. At present, we are developing vertical internal grinding machines ranging in size from small to large (including chucker-type models) and we plan to market these one after another.
