Q: How much does the Johnford DMC-2100 cost?

The price estimate for the Johnford DMC-2100 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/johnford-dmc-2100#price; the request is passed to Johnford or an authorised dealer.

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Johnford DMC-2100 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

The Johnford DMC-2100 gives 2,050 mm (80.7 in) of X travel and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of Y under a fixed double column bridge, with a BT-40 / CAT-40 spindle. The table is 2,200 x 1,100 mm (86.6 x 43.3 in). Note that the model number rounds up: the X travel in Johnford's table is 2,050 mm.

Johnford sells a single-column machine with the same X travel, the VMC-2000S, and the comparison explains what a bridge buys. The VMC-2000S has 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Y, a 4,800 kg (10,560 lb) table load and weighs 20,000 kg (44,000 lb). The DMC-2100 has more Y, carries 6,000 kg (13,200 lb) and weighs 23,600 kg (52,000 lb). On the VMC-2000S the spindle reaches out 1,150 mm (45.3 in) from its column; on the DMC it rides a crossrail supported at both ends.

Z travel is 800 mm, with 150~950 mm (5.9~37.4 in) between spindle nose and table. Axes rapid at 15 / 15 / 12 m/min (591 / 591 / 472 ipm). The spindle is offered as a geared 7.5 / 11 kW (10.1 / 14.8 hp) unit at 8,000 rpm or a built-in 17 / 20 kW (22.8 / 26.8 hp) unit at 15,000, 18,000 or 20,000 rpm in HSK A63.

A plate two metres long and more than a metre wide is typical of aerospace and large mold work, and the built-in spindle with linear scales is the configuration that suits it. The machine is 6,515 mm (257 in) long because the table travels its own length, 3,300 mm (130 in) wide and 3,835 mm (151 in) high.
