Jobs Jomach 150

The '150' in the Jomach 150 designation refers to the machine's 1,500 mm Z-axis stroke — the horizontal travel of the spindle head perpendicular to the bridge. This 1,500 mm reach is significantly greater than standard machining centers (which typically provide 500-800 mm in Z), enabling the Jomach 150 to machine deep spar web features, thick structural brackets, and deep-pocket components without requiring spindle extension bars that would reduce cutting rigidity.

The Jomach 150's thermal management system uses a combination of spindle liquid cooling to control spindle temperature, a network of temperature sensors embedded throughout the machine structure, and a CNC compensation model that continuously adjusts axis positions based on measured thermal expansion. Jobs also implements periodic probing cycles using a Renishaw probe to verify and correct tool length and workpiece datum offsets during long programs. Together, these measures maintain ±0.006 mm positional accuracy over multi-hour machining cycles.

Jobs has supplied Jomach series machines to multiple European and international aerospace manufacturers, including Tier 1 suppliers in Italy, France, Germany, and Spain working on Airbus A320/A330/A350 family structural programs, ATR regional aircraft, and various defense programs. Specific program details are confidential under customer NDA, but Jobs' Italian aerospace connections include major Aerostructures suppliers in the Naples and Turin regions of Italy.

Yes, but the machine's primary optimization is for aluminum high-speed machining. Titanium machining on the Jomach 150 requires significantly reduced feed rates, spindle speeds, and depths of cut compared to aluminum, and the HSK-A63 spindle interface provides less torque at low RPM compared to a dedicated heavy-duty titanium machining center with ISO 50 spindle. For programs with significant titanium content, Jobs offers alternative spindle configurations with higher torque at lower RPM. Shops with mixed aluminum/titanium programs should discuss spindle selection with Jobs applications engineering.

Jobs S.p.A. is an Italian machine tool manufacturer founded in 1950 and headquartered in Piacenza, in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. The company focuses exclusively on large portal machining centers and 5-axis gantry machines for the aerospace, energy, and mold industries. Jobs is part of the broader Italian machine tool industry cluster in Emilia-Romagna, which also includes Parpas, FPT Industrie, and other large-format machining center builders. All Jobs machines are designed and manufactured in Piacenza.
