Johnford DMC-4000x2800-5F

Q: How much does the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-5F cost?

The price estimate for the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-5F 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-4000x2800-5f#price; the request is passed to Johnford or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-5F 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

Five sides of a part in one clamping is what the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-5F is built for. Its spindle works vertically at 10~6,000 rpm and horizontally at 10~2,000 rpm, and the tool changer serves both positions: the table lists vertical and horizontal tool change.

Travels are 4,000 mm (157.4 in) in X, 3,600 mm (141.7 in) in Y and 1,066 mm (42 in) in Z. The Y stroke is longer than the 2,800 mm (110.2 in) between the columns because the head has to travel past the edges of the part to reach its sides. For the same reason the spindle nose starts higher, 420~1,486 mm (16.5~58.5 in) above the table.

Drive and tooling are the heavy set. A 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) motor, BT-50 / CAT-50 taper, Ø90 mm (Ø3.5 in) spindle diameter, tools to 20 kg (44 lb). The low horizontal speed tells you what the side spindle is for: face milling, drilling and boring on the flanks of gearbox housings, machine frames and engine blocks, not high-speed contouring.

Six-sided castings up to 20,000 kg (44,000 lb) can sit on the 4,200 x 2,200 mm (165.3 x 86.6 in) table. Remember the part must leave room around it for the head in the horizontal position, so the usable part size is smaller than the table.

At 7,400 mm (291.3 in) this is the widest Large DMC model, and it weighs 68,000 kg (149,600 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does 5F mean on the DMC-4000x2800-5F?

The table for this model gives separate vertical and horizontal spindle speeds, 10~6,000 rpm and 10~2,000 rpm, and vertical and horizontal tool change, which is five-face machining: the top and four sides of a part in one setup.

02 Why is Y travel on the DMC-4000x2800-5F longer than the distance between columns?

The maker's table lists 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y travel and 2,800 mm (110.2 in) between columns. The base DMC-4000x2800x800 has 2,800 mm (110.2 in) of Y. The page gives no reason; the extra stroke is consistent with a head that must move beyond the part to machine its sides.

03 What is the spindle power of the DMC-4000x2800-5F?

22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp), with BT-50 / CAT-50 tooling and a Ø90 mm (Ø3.5 in) spindle diameter. Tools may be up to Ø200 mm (Ø7.8 in), 400 mm (15.7 in) long and 20 kg (44 lb).

04 How big and heavy is the DMC-4000x2800-5F?

10,900 mm (429 in) long, 7,400 mm (291.3 in) wide and 5,920 mm (233.1 in) high, with a weight of 68,000 kg (149,600 lb). That is the same weight as the DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC5.
