JOHNFORD HMC-800 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Johnford HMC-800 is a precision horizontal machining center engineered for heavy-duty cutting operations with exceptional rigidity and thermal stability. Featuring a symmetrical "Box in Box" structure, the machine minimizes thermal growth and vibration during extended machining cycles. The three-axis configuration delivers 50 inches of X-axis travel, 40 inches of Y-axis travel, and 40 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating large workpieces and complex part geometries. Powered by a 34.9 horsepower motor operating at maximum spindle speeds of 18,000 RPM, the HMC-800 enables both heavy cutting and high-speed finishing operations across a broad range of materials. The machine integrates a 60-tool automatic tool changer for extended unattended machining and rapid tool selection, reducing cycle times and improving productivity. An 800x800mm work table with 31.5-inch by 39.4-inch pallet dimensions provides substantial loading capacity for diverse workpiece configurations. FANUC CNC system control ensures reliable, repeatable performance with advanced programmability and real-time diagnostics. The machine's inverted T-type bed construction with optimally-positioned ribs counters chatter and twisting during demanding cutting operations. Industry-standard BT50 spindle taper compatibility provides access to extensive tooling options. Equipped with through-spindle coolant delivery and precision linear guideways, the HMC-800 delivers consistently accurate positioning and repeat accuracy suitable for aerospace, automotive, and precision component manufacturing applications.
