JOHNFORD SL-300 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 8-inch chuck size, accommodating workpieces up to 15.7 inches in swing diameter and a maximum machining length of 24 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of turning applications. Designed for efficient bar stock processing, it supports a bar capacity of 2 inches, ideal for continuous production runs. The machine operates on a 2-axis configuration (X and Z), providing precise control for turning, facing, and threading operations. Powered by a robust 20 hp spindle motor, it delivers high torque and consistent performance for demanding machining tasks. The spindle achieves a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM, enabling rapid material removal and fine surface finishes. Equipped with a tailstock, the lathe ensures stable support for longer workpieces, enhancing accuracy and reducing vibration during machining. Control is managed via a Fanuc OiTC CNC system, known for its reliability, user-friendly interface, and advanced programming capabilities, supporting both manual and automated operation. The combination of high power, speed, and precision, along with the flexibility offered by the CNC control, makes this lathe well-suited for producing complex, high-tolerance components in industrial environments. Its compact footprint and robust construction further enhance its versatility for various manufacturing needs.
