Jorgenson Machine Tools at the JMT USA Booth (Fabtech 2011)
An article about Keech Steel Corporation ran in the Sept/Oct 2011 issue of the A2Z Metalworker magazine. The article mentions Jorgenson Machine Tools and discusses the JMT Plate Roll and JMT Press Brake that Keech purchased from Jorgenson.

About Jorgenson Machine Tools:
Keech Steel purchases all of their machines from Jorgenson Machine Tools, Jim Scott said. “We’ve known and worked with them through previous employers for 40 years now,”, Jim Scott said. “They are strong on customer service, just like their slogan says”, he continued. “We don’t have to look at other dealers when we are buying equipment for our business. With Jorgenson, we know we’ll get the best deal, and we’ll be taken care of immediately for any servicing we need.””
About JMT Press Brakes:
Jim Scott says, “Our new JMT Press Brake really gives us the ability to bend cones and transitions from light gauge to 1 1/4” thick. Before we made this purchase, we were outsourcing to other fabrication shops. We needed to take this in house so that we could control quality and delivery.”
Jorgenson Machine Tools has acquired a 6-axis (X, Y, Z, A, B, C axis) CNC Cincinnati Gantry Mill (bridge mill) currently configured to do electrochemical profile grinding.
A tolerance of +- 0.0005″ is maintained within entire envelope.
With a U5 bridge type, this model AR-0137 machine is also equipped with a full enclosure and air handling system.
Purchased new in 2007 by the U.S. Government, it only has 200 spindle on hours (used during install) and features a Seimens 840D control.
It has a travel of 265″ on the X-axis, but being a bridge-style machine the X-axis could be easily extended. It has travels of 160″ on the Y-axis and 48″ on the Z-axis.
It is designed for grinding invar (primarily used for composite molds) as well as other metals.
It can be left with its current grinding head, or we can, as an option, retrofit it to virtually any customer’s machining requirements.
If retrofitted to a 5-axis milling head, the Y travels could be extended (machine has 25′ between X-axis rails). The Z-axis can also be extended to meet the customer’s requirements.
If you have a need for a big HEAVY machine like this, you may never see a deal like this again — we are asking 20% of the original purchase price paid by the Government for this machine (price on request).
SPECIFICATIONS: Travels: X-Axis (easily extended): 265″ (25′ between X-Axis rails); Y- Axis: 160″ (Y-Axis travel could be increased); Z-Axis: 48″ (Z could be extended or configured for your application) • Tolerances: X-Axis: +/- 50°; B-Axis: +/- 20°; C- Axis: +/- 185° • Feed Rates: X & Z Axis: 0 – 350 IPM; Y Axis: 0 – 300 IPM; A & B Axis: 0 – 540 Degrees per Minute; C Axis: 0 – 288 Degrees per Minute • Electrochemical Grinding Wheel: Diameter: 12″; Width: 2″; Speed: 1,800 RPM • Power Supply: 2,000 AMP D.C. • Work Plate Dimensions: Left to Right: 120″; Front to Back: 144″ • Machine Foot Print: Left to Right: 470″; Front to Back: 766″
EQUIPPED WITH: Siemens 84 OD Controller; Windows XP operating system; 15.1 Color touch screen LCD monitor; Hand-held pendant; Intel Celeron III with 256 MB Ram; 16 MB real time memory; 12 GB disk drive; 2 Everite electro chemical grinding heads; Automatic dresser and conditioning block w/ Renishaw Touch probe; 500 gallon electrolyte tank; 500 gallon rinse water tank; 500 gallon waste water tank.
This bridge mill has been adapted to grind invar (used in composite molds) as well as other composites. It can be left with its current grinding head, or can be changed over to virtually any spindle head the customer requires. The machine is designed to sit on a elevated concrete wall (X axis). For demonstration purposes we currently have it installed on the floor of our warehouse.
