Overview

The Jobs Jomach 100 is a 5-axis gantry machining center from Jobs S.p.A. positioned as the mid-range entry point in the Jomach structural machining series. With approximately 1,000 mm of Y-axis cross-rail clearance and X-axis travels configurable from 3,000 mm to 5,000 mm, the Jomach 100 targets aerospace tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers, motorsport component manufacturers, and precision mold shops that require robust 5-axis gantry architecture for parts too large for compact machining centers but who do not need the very large envelope of the Jomach 160. The machine is manufactured at Jobs' facility in Piacenza, Italy, and shares the same design philosophy as the larger Jomach models: extreme rigidity, direct-drive 5-axis heads, and deep aerospace application knowledge built into the machine's control and compensation systems.

At the core of the Jomach 100 is Jobs' direct-drive 5-axis milling head with torque motor actuation on both A and C rotary axes. This eliminates the mechanical backlash inherent in worm gear or bevel gear head designs, and allows the head to move rapidly between angular positions without the hesitation that affects surface quality during complex 5-axis contouring. The A-axis spans ±110° and the C-axis rotates continuously through 360°, providing full access to the undercuts and recesses of aerospace structural ribs, mold cavities, and complex die components. Spindle options include a 20,000 rpm high-speed unit for aluminum aerospace machining and a 12,000 rpm high-torque unit for titanium and hardened steel applications.

The Jomach 100's structural column and cross-rail are manufactured from high-quality cast iron with finite element analysis-optimized ribbing patterns that minimize deflection under cutting loads. The linear guideways on all axes use precision-ground rails with preloaded roller guides for high stiffness and low friction, enabling aggressive feed rates without the chatter that affects lighter-duty gantry machines. Ballscrew drives on Z and Y axes and linear motor options on the X axis are available depending on the speed/force tradeoff required by the customer's primary application.

For aerospace customers, the Jomach 100 is available with a comprehensive package including Renishaw on-machine probing, laser tool measurement, thermal compensation for all axes, and Heidenhain TNC 640 or Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control. The machine can be integrated into pallet-changing cells for continuous production and supports direct integration with manufacturing execution systems and quality management databases. Jobs' dedicated aerospace application engineering team provides CAM post-processor development, toolpath optimization consulting, and fixture design support — a full-service approach that reduces the time from machine installation to productive aerospace production.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Mid-range Jomach series entry point brings full Jobs aerospace 5-axis capability at a lower price point than the Jomach 160 for mid-size structural parts
Direct-drive torque motor A and C axes deliver backlash-free 5-axis contouring for smooth, accurate aerospace surface quality
Cast iron FEA-optimized structure maintains rigidity across X-travel configurations, supporting heavy titanium roughing without chatter
Comprehensive aerospace option package (probing, laser tool measurement, thermal compensation) supports AS9100 and NADCAP process documentation
Jobs aerospace application engineering team provides post-processor, toolpath, and fixture support to accelerate productive machine use

Limitations

Seven-figure price point requires aerospace production volumes or high-value mold work to justify the capital expenditure
Y-axis clearance of 1,000 mm limits part height compared to the Jomach 160 — tall mold blocks or deep structural components may require the larger model
As with all large gantry machines, installation requires significant site preparation including floor reinforcement, crane access, and environmental controls

Best For

Aerospace tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers machining aluminum structural parts (ribs, brackets, fittings) in the 1,000–4,000 mm length range Motorsport component manufacturers producing large magnesium, aluminum, and titanium chassis and powertrain components requiring 5-axis access Precision mold shops machining large injection mold and die casting tooling from pre-hardened and hardened tool steel Defense component manufacturers producing structural parts for ground vehicles, naval vessels, and UAV platforms requiring traceability and close tolerances

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the key difference between the Jomach 100 and the Jomach 160?

The Jomach 160 features approximately 1,600 mm of Y-axis cross-rail clearance and larger X-axis travels for very large aerospace structural parts such as wing covers and fuselage barrels. The Jomach 100 is optimized for mid-size structural parts (ribs, brackets, mold blocks) where the 1,000 mm Y-clearance is sufficient and the lower capital cost is attractive.

02 Can the Jomach 100 machine Inconel and other nickel superalloys?

Yes, with the high-torque 12,000 rpm spindle configuration and appropriate high-pressure coolant. Inconel 718 and similar superalloys require low cutting speeds, high torque, and effective coolant delivery to manage work hardening and tool wear. The Jomach 100's 280 Nm spindle torque and 70 bar through-spindle coolant provide the necessary conditions for productive superalloy machining.

03 Does Jobs offer turnkey aerospace machining cell solutions built around the Jomach 100?

Yes. Jobs works closely with pallet system manufacturers and robotic integrators to provide complete turnkey aerospace machining cells. A typical cell includes the Jomach 100, a 4- to 8-pallet automated system, in-process probing and tool measurement, and MES integration for production tracking and quality documentation.

04 What CAM systems are validated for use with the Jomach 100?

Jobs provides validated post-processors for Siemens NX, Hypermill, Delcam PowerMill (now Autodesk PowerMill), and Mastercam. The post-processors correctly handle RTCP (rotational tool center point), head collision zones, and dynamic precision mode activation — all critical for safe, high-quality 5-axis aerospace programs on Jobs gantry heads.

05 How long does commissioning and operator training typically take for the Jomach 100?

On-site installation and geometric calibration typically takes 3–5 weeks depending on configuration. Jobs provides 3–5 days of operator and programmer training during commissioning, plus application engineering support for the first production programs. Additional training on 5-axis CAM programming and aerospace process optimization is available at Jobs' facility in Piacenza.
