News from the machining industry.

The Tongtai TNL-120A-II is a high-speed, high-precision CNC turning center cast featuring precision linear ways and large servomotors that provide fast rapid traverse rates and accurate positioning, the company says. The lathe offers a standard turning diameter of 11. 8”, a swing over bed of 24” and 2.

The Johnford HT-30-2SD is a heavy-duty, high precision CNC turning center built for industries that need the productivity afforded by a two-spindle turning center. Absolute Machine Tools Inc. offers this 45-degree slant bed machine, which offers a 30-hp high-torque, double-wound main spindle as well as a 15-hp double-wound subspindle.

The YV-800ATC+C by You Ji is a vertical turning center that is especially useful for turning medium-sized workpieces. Absolute Machine Tools offers this compact system, which is designed for stand-alone applications or easy integration into production lines.

Absolute Machine Tools, Inc. offers the SV-48H VMC, which is specifically engineered for heavy cutting applications. The machine handles heavy cuts because of a 2-speed gearbox head that provides plenty of torque at low rpm.

Absolute Machine Tools partnership with Ecoca Industrial Co. means that Absolute now sells Ecoca's CNC lathes through its North American distribution network. Included in the Ecoca line of CNC turning centers is the SJ-20, a 45-degree slant bed lathe.

A precision machined parts manufacturer augments its production turning operations by expanding its CNC equipment and infrastructure to include vertical turning of large parts. The result has been a lucrative—and growing—additional revenue stream.

The Johnford ST-40HB is a heavy-duty, high-precision CNC turning center built for industries that need large lathes for big parts. This slant-bed machine is available in bed lengths of as much as 240" and with spindle holes up to 21". Built with the classic style, the 60-degree slant bed is a torque-tube design.

Engineered for high speed net-shape machining of complex, 3D parts, the Hi-Net DMC-1500HN by Johnford is a double-column machining center designed for aerospace and die/mold manufacturers. According to manufacturer Absolute Machine Tools, the machine’s moving table, fixed-column design and one-piece column and bridge casting provide rigidity. The 90-degree bridge with offset Y-axis ways and a wide saddle keep the spindle centerline close to the bridge.

Useful for turning large parts, the You Ji VTL-1600ATC-II available from Absolute Machine Tools, Inc.  features ribbed Meehanite castings that can minimize thermal distortion while dampening vibration. Both X and Z axes are supported by oversized, hardened and ground boxways that foster stability and rigidity.

Johnford’s Super Lathe (SL) series is comprised of small- to medium-sized machines with chuck sizes ranging from 6" to 21" and bed lengths as large as 100". Standard features include a chip conveyor, programmable hydraulic tailstock, a minimum of 12 tool turrets and a Fanuc or Siemens CNC control system. The 45-degree machine beds are constructed from Meehanite cast iron.
