How much does the Johnford ST-130BH cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford ST-130BH 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
Drums and rolls with a large body and small journals suit the Johnford ST-130BH: 3,050 mm (120.1 in) of Z travel, 800 mm (31.5 in) of swing over the cross slide, and a spindle that still reaches 2,000 rpm.
Such a part asks for two things at once. The body needs clearance, which the frame gives, with 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of swing over the bed. The journals are small and need speed for a good finish, and here the B spindle is better placed than the C or D versions of the same bed. The ST-130CH stops at 1,500 rpm and the ST-130DH at 1,000 rpm.
Four automatic speeds cover the spread between body and journal diameters. Power is 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp), with 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp) optional, which is enough for a hollow or fabricated drum but modest for a solid forging of the same size.
X travel is 420 mm (16.5 in). The tailstock travels 2,750 mm (108.3 in) and has a Ø200 mm (7.9 in) MT#7 quill. The machine weighs 20,200 kg (44,440 lb) and measures 8,612 x 2,504 x 2,955 mm (339.1 x 98.6 x 116.3 in).
