How much does the Johnford ST-130DH cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford ST-130DH 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 ST-130DH is a three-metre lathe for large forged shafts: 3,050 mm (120.1 in) of Z travel, 800 mm (31.5 in) over the cross slide, and the D spindle on its 240 mm (9.4 in) bearing.
Forgings come to the lathe with scale, uneven stock and sometimes an interrupted surface. Removing that is slow, heavy cutting at low speed, and the specification is consistent with it. The spindle turns at 1,000 rpm at most. It has four automatic speeds and 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp), or 37 / 45 kW (49.6 / 60.3 hp) as an option. A geared headstock is listed as an alternative to the belt-type gearbox, with a 176 mm (6.9 in) bore instead of 185 mm (7.3 in).
Both ends of the part are held on large elements. The chuck is 510 mm (20.1 in) or 610 mm (24 in) on an A2-15 nose; the tailstock quill is Ø200 mm (7.9 in) with MT#7 and 2,750 mm (108.3 in) of body travel.
The X and Z servo motors are 7 kW and X travel is 420 mm (16.5 in). Weight is 20,600 kg (45,320 lb), the highest of the three-metre models on this frame, and length 8,612 mm (339.1 in).
