Confidence in cutting-edge technology

Thoughtful engineering has been the cornerstone of JTEKT Machinery machines since our beginning days in 1941 as Toyoda Machine Works. Originally manufactured for the production lines of a major Japanese automotive company, JTEKT Machinery grinding machines were built to be ruggedly tough in high-production environments.

Over the years, we've held ourselves to this level of expert craftsmanship to provide shops with the highest quality standards. In 1968, we expanded our lineup to horizontal machining centers, and later incorporated automation systems, vertical machining centers and turning lathes, TOP centers, and bridge and boring mills into JTEKT Machinery Americas Corporation's product offerings.

We understand tight tolerances, superior speed, and peak performance. Every detail is carefully considered – from the solid cast iron bases to the operator-friendly ergonomic design – to help maximize production across metalcutting industries.

JTEKT Machinery machines are engineered for innovators, and built with the speed, strength, and capacity to get you there. From job shop applications to high-volume production, JTEKT Machinery exceeds your quality and precision expectations.

Beyond the Boundaries of Ultrahigh-Accuracy

The micro-world of values less than 1/1,000th of a millimeter requires accurate technologies with absolutely no margin for error. JTEKT pursues accuracy to the utmost limits, and has assembled a range of element technologies to develop machining centers capable of ultrahigh-precision machining at the submicron and nanometer levels. While this has enabled us to provide a high level of satisfaction and gain the trust of customers seeking ultrahigh accuracy, our quest for further technological advancement continues. In order to achieve performance that exceeds customer expectations, we will pursue our dreams through technological innovation, aiming for ever greater heights.
