IMTS2026: JTEKT Exhibits Automation Solutions Against Labor Issues
JTEKT Machinery Americas Corporation (Headquarters: Arlington Heights, Illinois, USA), an overseas subsidiary of JTEKT Corporation (Headquarters: Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture, President: Yoshihito Kondo, hereinafter referred to as "JTEKT"), will exhibit at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2026) to be held at McCormick Place (Chicago, Illinois, USA) from September 14th to 19th.
Based on our Mission: "Joint Technology to bring joy to the planet earth and all working people," JTEKT has proposed JTEKT Group 2030 Vision: "A solution provider creating the future of mobility society through Monozukuri and Monozukuri equipment" as its target to be achieved by 2030. To achieve the transformation into a solution provider, JTEKT aims to grow and evolve by enhancing the value of our existing products and exploring new fields.
Booth Concept
In the US manufacturing industry, there are challenges such as recruiting, upskilling, and securing a workforce. As a Solution Provider with precise, durable manufacturing equipments, we introduce the latest solutions of machining centers, grinders, maintenance/repair and automated manufacturing cells with robots that contribute to these issues.
Featured Exhibits
FH630SXi Horizontal Machining Center & 2-Level Vertical Pallet Pool
*This is a sample image of VPP with FH5000 series.
The combination of 2-level pallet pool automation, adaptive control, large tool complements on-board, and 25% higher part density in a compact footprint offers manufacturers a truly optimized production platform at a competitive price.
FH5500SX-i Horizontal Machining Center
Advanced high-torque spindle design and direct drive B-axis table rigidity enable aggressive, high-volume machining in a compact footprint. Owing to a design with less thermal displacement, it reduces machining errors and increases productivity. Its 240-tool ATC (Auto Tool Changer) and plenty of other user-friendly features make the machine setup smoother.
GL5Ai-32 Grinder (STAT BEARING™ Equipped)
The GL Series cylindrical grinding machine is purpose-built for dedicated processes in high-production environments, delivering both speed and precision where efficiency matters most. JTEKT's STAT BEARING™, a hydrostatic bearing system for grinding wheel, provides superior rigidity, smooth movement, and long-lasting accuracy under continuous operation.
GL4i-100 SWITCH Grinder
Designed for both straight and angular grinding, the manually adjustable 45-degree swivel wheelhead enables faster cycle times, improved surface finishes, and reduced thermal damage. We will highlight the versatility of JTEKT Grinding Machines, along with operational simplicity via our original CNC, TOYOPUC™.
Vertical Grinder G3VU86 (Produced by JTEKT Machine Systems Corp.)
A vertical grinder with both outer and inner diameter that grinds long workpieces from automobile, aerospace and other industries. They are engineered to maximize efficiency and accuracy by enabling complete grinding in a single setup, eliminating the need for flipping or re-clamping. This approach reduces cycle times, minimizes handling errors, and improves part quality.
STEALTH 1060 (Produced by WELE)
This vertical machining center delivers best-in-class traverse, table size, and load capacity to handle a wide range of workpieces suitable for Die and Mold or machine shops at attractive price-points.
UG630-AWC (WELE 5-Axis Machining Center +Pallet Automation)
The combination of the popular 5-Axis MC and this new AWC system delivers flexible multi-pallet capacity, smooth material flow, and continuous machining capability for both high-mix/low-volume manufacturers and production environments seeking higher spindle utilization.
UX-2000 (Produced by TAKISAWA Taiwan)
An IMTS-premier turning center engineered to simplify complex machining while maximizing accuracy and throughput in a single machine. With true multi-function integration, it performs turning, milling, gear cutting, in-process measurement, and automatic loading and unloading within one compact system, delivering exceptional precision, versatility, and productivity for manufacturers producing high-complexity parts.
