How much does the Johnford LC-60 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford LC-60 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
The Johnford LC-60 is the top of Johnford's flat-bed range and the only LC model with larger drives. It swings 1,550 mm (61 in) over the bed and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) over the cross slide.
Every motor row differs from the LC-40 and LC-50 columns. The spindle motor is 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp), with 37 / 45 kW (49.6 / 60.3 hp) as the option. The X-axis servo motor is 4 kW, the Z-axis servo motor 7 kW and the C-axis motor 3 kW. With a carriage that has to feed a tool through a cut at a radius of half a metre or more, the heavier Z drive is the one that counts.
What stays the same is the 1,145 mm (45 in) bed width, the automatic 4-speed gearbox, the ten spindle variants from B to K and the tailstock with its Ø250 mm (9.8 in) quill. An auto 4-speed gearhead for heavier cutting is an option.
Rapid traverse is 6 m/min on X and 8 m/min on Z. On beds that can reach 20,000 mm between centers, long moves take time, and a second carriage is on the options list: an additional CNC-driven carriage for a boring bar system. Listed weights run from 24,000 kg (model 6080) to 38,000 kg (model 60360).
