The 2012 Toyoda/Wele Stealth 1165 is a heavy-duty box-way CNC vertical machining center built for shops that need rigidity for aerospace, mold-base, fixture, and large-fabrication work that overwhelms a standard linear-guideway VMC. Configured with 43.3 inches of X-axis travel, 25.6 inches of Y, 23.6 inches of Z, a 51.2" x 25.6" T-slotted table rated for 2,425 pounds, a CT40 direct-drive spindle that turns up to 12,000 RPM with a 15 HP continuous (20 HP 30-minute) motor at 92 ft-lb of output torque, and a 24-station drum-style automatic tool changer with a 3-second tool-to-tool change time, the Stealth 1165 is set up to push real metal cutting in steel, aluminum, and exotics. Equipped with the Fanuc 0i-MD Package A control, a BLUM part probe receiver, a Chip Blaster D-30-70 1,000 PSI high-pressure fixed-flow coolant system with dual-cartridge filtration, 113.5-gallon flood coolant tank, and chip conveyor, this unit is wired for production work straight off the truck.
Compared to the open-frame, linear-guideway VMCs that dominate the entry-level segment, the Stealth 1165's full box-way construction delivers a step up in damping and torsional rigidity — meaningful when running aggressive depth-of-cut operations on tool steel, mold cavities, and weldments. The 1,181 IPM rapid traverse on X/Y and 945 IPM on Z keep cycle time competitive with linear-guideway machines, while the BLUM probe receiver and CAT40 spindle interface match the modern toolholding and in-process inspection workflow shops expect on a current-generation VMC at a fraction of the new-machine price.
