How much does the Johnford ST-100BX cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford ST-100BX 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
Large fabrications are the reason to choose a Johnford ST-100BX. It turns parts up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) over the cross slide and 2,400 mm (94.5 in) long with a spindle of 2,000 rpm and 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp).
Welded drums, rolled shells, large fabricated hubs: such parts have plenty of diameter and little solid metal. They need a light finishing cut on a few surfaces, bearing seats, sealing faces and flange faces, and they need it at a reasonable surface speed. A large frame with the smallest, fastest long-bed spindle does that job without the cost in speed of the C and D spindles.
Reaching those surfaces is the task of the X axis, which travels 520 mm (20.5 in) on a 7 kW servo motor.
The table lists the machine at 7,812 x 2,645 x 3,175 mm (307.6 x 104.1 x 125 in) and 16,700 kg (36,740 lb). Tailstock travel is 2,100 mm (82.7 in), on a Ø200 mm (7.9 in) quill with MT#7 taper. The spindle bore is 132.5 mm (5.2 in) and the chuck 381 mm (15 in), with 450 mm (17.7 in) as an option. A 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp) motor can be ordered.
