The Johnford 50-taper SV and VMC Super Series vertical machining centers combine heavy-duty box-way construction with a geared-head C-frame design for powerful, accurate machining. Available in 12 machine configurations, their heavily ribbed Meehanite cast-iron construction helps minimize vibration while supporting excellent surface finishes, tool life, and long-term accuracy.
Oversized box ways, precision ballscrews, and a rigid spindle and headstock design provide stable positioning and repeatable performance. Powerful 50-taper spindle configurations make the series well suited for demanding machining and heavier cutting applications.
Standard features include a 24-tool automatic tool changer, with a wide range of options available to expand productivity. Automatic pallet changers, through-spindle coolant, 4th- and 5th-axis rotary tables, expanded tool capacity, and other equipment packages allow each machine to be configured for specific manufacturing requirements.
