JOHNFORD ST-80EH CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 24-inch chuck and operates with 2 axes (X and Z), making it suitable for precise turning of cylindrical parts. It accommodates a maximum turning diameter of 31.5 inches and a maximum swing of 36.2 inches, allowing for a wide range of workpiece sizes. The machine has a machining length capacity of 80 inches, supported by a tailstock for additional workpiece stability during extended operations. The lathe's CNC control system is a Fanuc 0i-TC, providing high precision and ease of programming. Motion travel includes 16.5 inches on the X-axis and 78.7 inches on the Z-axis, with rapid traverse speeds of 472 inches per minute on both axes for efficient material removal. The spindle nose conforms to the A2-15 standard, driven by a powerful 50 hp main motor, enabling robust cutting performance at speeds up to 800 RPM. A 12-station turret enables versatile tooling configurations for complex machining tasks. The machine weighs approximately 36,000 pounds, indicating heavy-duty construction designed for stability and rigidity during operation. Overall, this CNC lathe combines substantial size, power, and precision to support manufacturing of medium to large turned components with repeatability and high surface finish quality.
