JOHNFORD SL-35 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This lathe features an 8-inch chuck and supports bar stock with a maximum diameter of 2 inches, making it suitable for small- to medium-sized workpieces. It offers a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM, enabling moderate-speed machining operations. The swing capacity is 15.75 inches, allowing the machine to handle workpieces up to that diameter over the bed. The control system is a FANUC 0i-TB CNC, a robust and widely used industrial CNC controller optimized for turning applications. The FANUC 0i-TB supports up to 4 controlled axes simultaneously (or 3 when using a spindle), providing precise multi-axis machining capabilities. It is equipped with advanced functions such as high-speed PMC (programmable machine control), easy programming via FANUC’s interfaces, and integrated safety features. The controller allows for reliable and flexible CNC operation with extensive parameter setting and real-time monitoring, ensuring high productivity and accuracy in manufacturing processes. Combined, these specifications make the machine well-suited for producing a variety of turned components with precision and operational efficiency.
