JOHNFORD JET-32 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust 3-axis configuration with travel dimensions of X: 32.3 inches, Y: 19.7 inches, and Z: 24 inches, providing ample workspace for a variety of milling applications. The machine is powered by a 10.05 hp spindle capable of reaching 8,000 RPM, ensuring high-speed precision and efficient material removal. It is equipped with a 24-position automatic tool changer (ATC), allowing for rapid tool changes and increased productivity during complex machining operations. The worktable measures 19.7 inches in width and 39.4 inches in length, offering a stable and spacious surface for securing workpieces. The control system is a FANUC 0i-MD, a modern CNC platform known for its reliability, advanced programming capabilities, and user-friendly interface. The FANUC 0i-MD supports up to 4 simultaneously controlled axes (3 in this configuration), digital servo control, and a host of standard features including automatic data backup, DNC operation, MDI operation, and comprehensive manual and automatic operation modes. The control also provides flexible feed gear, fine acceleration/deceleration control, inch/metric conversion, and advanced safety functions such as machine lock, emergency stop, and stored stroke checks. The system supports high-speed skip, reference position return, backlash compensation, and optional DMR for enhanced accuracy. With its combination of powerful spindle, large work envelope, efficient tool changing, and advanced FANUC control, this machine is well-suited for high-precision and high-productivity CNC milling tasks.
