JOHNFORD VMC-1600HD VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a 3-axis configuration controlled by the FANUC 0i-MD CNC system, renowned for precise digital servo control and advanced machining cycles ideal for milling, turning, and complex surface machining. The machine dimensions measure 63 inches (X), 33.5 inches (Y), and 28 inches (Z), with a table size of 29.5 inches wide by 70.9 inches long, allowing substantial workpiece support and flexibility. Powered by a 14.8 hp spindle motor operating at up to 8,000 RPM, it delivers robust cutting performance for varied materials. The FANUC 0i-MD controller supports up to 3 simultaneously controlled axes, fine acceleration and deceleration control, automatic data backup, multiple coordinate systems, and advanced tool compensation features, ensuring high-precision and reliable operation. Manual and automatic functions such as rigid tapping, high-speed peck drilling cycles, feedrate override up to 254%, and customizable macros are supported, enhancing productivity and ease of use. The control’s digital servo system permits incremental inputs as fine as 0.001 mm, enabling intricate and accurate toolpaths. Safety features include overtravel protection, emergency stops, and interlocks for axis and direction. The machine’s ergonomic table size and axis travel afford optimal workspace efficiency, while FANUC’s proven CNC reliability and support guarantee consistent machining quality and operational uptime. This combination of mechanical specifications and a highly capable FANUC 0i-MD CNC control system enables sophisticated, flexible, and precise 3-axis machining operations suitable for a range of industrial manufacturing applications.
