How much does the Johnford DMC-2100H cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford DMC-2100H 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
Two metres of X travel, a No.50 geared spindle and a 6,000 kg (13,200 lb) table: the Johnford DMC-2100H is a double column machining center for large steel and iron parts. X travel is 2,050 mm (80.7 in), Y is 1,300 mm (51.2 in) and Z is 800 mm (31.5 in).
The frame weighs 23,600 kg (52,000 lb). That is more than the VMC-2000SHD, Johnford's single-column 50-taper machine of the same X travel, which is listed at 20,000 kg (44,000 lb). More to the point, the DMC's spindle works between columns 1,300 mm (51.2 in) apart rather than at the end of a long head, so a heavy cut at the middle of a wide plate is taken close to the structure.
Johnford's standard drive is 15 / 18.5 kW (20.1 / 24.8 hp) through a Hi Lo Gear at 6,000 rpm in BT-50 / CAT-50, with a 90 mm (3.5 in) spindle bearing diameter. An oil cooler for the spindle and gearbox is included. The built-in alternatives of 26 / 31 kW (34.9 / 41.6 hp) and 31 / 40 kW (41.6 / 53.6 hp) at 10,000 rpm are worth pricing where carbide high-feed roughing replaces large face mills.
The table is 2,200 x 1,100 mm (86.6 x 43.3 in). Its 6,000 kg rating is shared by the whole frame family, so on this length a solid steel block that covers the table can exceed it; check the weight. Chips leave by two screw type conveyors and a chain type conveyor, and a scraper type conveyor with magnetic separator is optional for cast iron.
