Why Johnford Sets the Standard in Floor Type Boring Mills

The Johnford FBMC-160 floor-type horizontal boring mills stand as a testament to precision engineering, designed for machining large and complex parts. These massive machines embody versatility and precision, with custom configurations available to meet specific production demands.

Key Features:

• Impressive Dimensions: With standard axis travels of 236″ in X, 137.8″ in Y, 47.24″ in Z, 39.37″ in W, and 78.74″ in V, and the potential to extend even further, the FBMC-160 accommodates large-scale projects with ease.
• Innovative Design: The machine features a moving column X axis, a fixed and rotary table for the V axis, and a heavy-duty design, ensuring maximum rigidity and accuracy. The one-piece Meehanite cast iron construction of the X axis base enhances stability.
• Advanced Motion Control: Roller ways in X, Y, Z, and V utilize precision Schneeberger 65mm bearings, with a pressurized automatic oil system for lubrication. The dual rack and pinion drive for the X axis ensures high-speed rapid traverse with minimal backlash.

Technological Superiority:

• Precision Positioning: Large diameter pre-tensioned ballscrews and servo motors position the Y, Z, and W axes, offering precise control.
• State-of-the-Art Headstock: The headstock features a 20.5″ x 17.7″ rectangular ram for the Z axis and a 6.3″ bar for the W axis, enhancing the machine’s versatility in handling diverse tasks.
• Powerful and Efficient Spindle: The 100 hp, 2,200 rpm main spindle motor boasts a 3-speed gear drive, with oil cooling to minimize thermal growth.

Enhanced Functionality

• Robust Tool Management: A standalone 60-tool arm type automatic tool changer streamlines operations, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
• Comprehensive Systems: The machine includes a comprehensive chip removal system, a high-volume coolant system, and a full B-axis rotary table with an integrated rotary scale, along with 300 psi coolant through the spindle.
• Advanced Control System: Equipped with the standard Fanuc 31iM-B control, the FBMC-160 is ideal for general machining, as well as high-speed, high-accuracy applications like mold and die machining.

Mastering the Art of Large-Scale Precision: Key Applications for Floor Type Boring Mills

Floor type boring machines are invaluable in industries where precision machining of large parts is a requirement. These machines are designed to handle significantly larger and heavier components than their table-type counterparts, making them an essential asset in several key sectors.

Handling Larger Parts with Ease

One of the standout features of floor type boring mills is their ability to accommodate and precisely machine oversized parts. This capability is crucial in sectors like:

• Aerospace: For manufacturing large components of aircraft, such as fuselage sections or wing parts, where both size and precision are critical.
• Energy Sector: Particularly in wind power, for machining large turbine components, or in oil and gas for creating large drilling components.
• Heavy Machinery Manufacturing: Involving the production of large-scale construction equipment, farming machinery, or components for industrial machinery.
• Shipbuilding: Where large and heavy parts like hull sections or engine components need precise machining.
