JOHNFORD SL-65 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a robust 10-inch chuck size, accommodating workpieces up to 22.8 inches in swing and 64 inches in machining length, making it ideal for large and complex turning operations. Designed for high productivity, the machine supports a bar capacity of 3 inches, enabling efficient bar feeding for extended production runs. The lathe operates on three axes (X, Z, and C), allowing for advanced contouring, milling, and off-center operations, significantly enhancing machining versatility. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 3,500 RPM, ensuring rapid material removal and fine surface finishes across a wide range of materials. Equipped with a tailstock, the lathe provides additional support for long workpieces, improving accuracy and rigidity during machining. Control is managed via a Fanuc Oi-T CNC system, renowned for its reliability, user-friendly interface, and advanced programming capabilities, supporting both simple and complex part geometries. The machine’s substantial weight of 17,000 lbs contributes to exceptional stability, vibration damping, and precision during heavy-duty operations. This lathe is engineered for demanding industrial environments, offering high repeatability, tight tolerances, and consistent performance for applications in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing sectors.
