JOHNFORD SV-40P 3-AXIS CNC VMC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The JOHNFORD SV-40P is a robust 3-axis Computer Numerical Control Vertical Machining Center designed for precision manufacturing applications. This machine features a vertically oriented spindle with a 40 taper and delivers 10,000 RPM spindle speed powered by a 14.75 horsepower motor, supported by 15-20 horsepower total system capacity. The VMC accommodates 24 tools through its automatic tool changer, eliminating manual tool changes during production runs and enabling uninterrupted machining cycles. The machine's work envelope encompasses 41 inches of X-axis travel, 20 inches of Y-axis travel, and 24 inches of Z-axis travel, providing versatile capability for mid-sized component production. Rapid positioning rates reach 1,181 inches per minute on both X and Y axes, with 787 inches per minute on the Z-axis, minimizing non-cutting time and improving overall productivity. The cast iron table measures 47.2 inches in length by 19.7 inches in width and supports workpieces up to 880 pounds, accommodating diverse part geometries and material weights. At 13,200 pounds with overall dimensions of 115 x 126 x 106.2 inches, the SV-40P provides a compact footprint suitable for typical shop floor environments while maintaining structural rigidity essential for precision machining. The vertical spindle orientation enables superior chip evacuation, particularly beneficial for aluminum and composite materials, and provides accessibility for workpiece loading and tool changes. This machine configuration is ideal for producing medical components, aerospace parts, and general industrial components requiring tolerances in the ±0.002mm range achievable with modern VMC technology.
