How much does the Johnford VTC-2000ATC cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford VTC-2000ATC 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
With the VTC-2000ATC, Johnford's vertical turning centers change weight class. The machine weighs 72,000 kg (158,400 lb), the ram grows to 300 x 300 mm (12 x 12 in), and maximum spindle torque reaches 44,556 Nm (32,865 lb-ft). It turns Ø2,500 mm (Ø98.4 in) on a Ø2,000 mm (Ø78.7 in) table.
Compare the torque with the model below. The VTC-1600ATC delivers 16,204 Nm (11,952 lb-ft). Nearly three times that figure at the table means the 2000 can take a deep roughing cut at a radius of more than a metre, where cutting force is multiplied by a long lever arm. The motor is 45 / 55 kW (60.3 / 73.8 hp), and 60 / 75 kW (80.5 / 100.6 hp) can be ordered.
The working envelope grows in every direction. Turning height is 1,600 mm (63 in). The ram travels 1,000 mm (39.3 in), the cross rail 1,000 mm (39.4 in) and the X axis 1,685 mm (66.3 in). The table takes 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) and runs at 2-160 rpm.
A heavier ram also changes what the optional live spindle can do. The power spindle is rated 2-2,400 rpm, and on this size the optional CF axis motor is 4 kW, so drilling and milling on large flanges are done against a stiffer structure than on the smaller models.
Plan the site early. The machine occupies 8,500 x 7,570 x 6,860 mm (334.6 x 298 x 270.1 in). The foundation has to be designed for the weight before the machine arrives.
