Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford FBMC-X14 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Sixty kilowatts continuous at the spindle: the Johnford FBMC-X14 is a floor-type boring machining center with a 60 / 75 kW (80.5 / 100.6 hp) drive, rated S1 / S6-60%, and 14,000 mm (551.2 in) of X travel.
No other Johnford machining center with a published table has a motor this size. It turns a BT-50 spindle between 10 and 2,200 rpm, and the low end of that range is the point. Large facing heads, long boring bars and big insert drills cut at a few hundred rpm and need torque, and they need it at the end of an extended ram.
The ram measures 480 x 550 mm (18.9 x 21.7 in) in section and travels 1,200 mm (47.2 in). The quill inside it is Ø160 mm (Ø6.3 in). Tooling limits are generous: Ø250 mm (Ø9.8 in) in diameter, 400 mm (15.7 in) in length and 25 kg (55 lb), with a 60-tool magazine as standard and 80, 100, 120 or more as options. If every pocket is filled, diameter drops to Ø125 mm (Ø4.9 in).
Supporting equipment is on the standard list where smaller machines make it optional. Linear scales on X, Y and Z, hydrostatic systems on those axes, an oil cooler for spindle and gearbox, automatic gearbox lubrication and a hydraulic counterbalance for the headstock are all included. Coolant through the spindle, at 20 bar or 70 bar, remains an option.
The X14 carries a 9,000 x 2,500 mm (354.3 x 98.4 in) floor plate, weighs 151,000 kg (332,200 lb) and is 22,300 mm (878 in) long.
