Q: How much does the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4 cost?

The price estimate for the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4 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.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4 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

Among the Large DMC models, the Johnford DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4 is the high-speed one. Its head carries a spindle that runs from 50 to 20,000 rpm with 21 / 24 kW (28.2 / 32.2 hp), on a machine with 4,000 mm (157.4 in) of X, 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y and 1,066 mm (42 in) of Z.

The maker's table gives two taper codes for it, AC41 with a No.40 taper and AC42 with HSK A63. Both are small-taper, high-speed interfaces, and the tool limits follow: Ø100 mm (Ø3.9 in) maximum diameter, 320 mm (12.6 in) length, 10 kg (22 lb). The page does not print the swivel ranges of the head, so the angular reach has to come from Johnford's quotation.

Put those figures on a 4,200 x 2,200 mm (165.3 x 86.6 in) table rated 20,000 kg (44,000 lb) and the intended work is clear enough. Large moulds, stamping dies for body panels, and models or patterns need long finishing passes with ball-nose tools at high rpm over a big, heavy block.

Head clearance costs height. The spindle nose can stand 150~1,216 mm (5.9~47.9 in) above the table and the machine is 6,280 mm (247.2 in) tall, against 4,550 mm (180 in) for the DMC-4000x2800x800. Weight is 65,000 kg (143,000 lb). For the same frame with a No.50 or HSK A100 spindle and 31 / 40 kW (41.6 / 53.6 hp), Johnford lists the DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC5.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4 have?

A 50~20,000 rpm spindle rated 21 / 24 kW (28.2 / 32.2 hp). The taper is No.40 in the AC41 version and HSK A63 in the AC42 version, as coded in the maker's table.

02 What is the difference between the DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4 and the DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC5?

The DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC5 has a No.50 or HSK A100 spindle at 50~10,000 rpm with 31 / 40 kW (41.6 / 53.6 hp), 20 kg (44 lb) tools and a weight of 68,000 kg (149,600 lb). The DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4 runs to 20,000 rpm with 21 / 24 kW (28.2 / 32.2 hp), takes 10 kg (22 lb) tools and weighs 65,000 kg (143,000 lb).

03 How large is the working envelope of the DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4?

X 4,000 mm (157.4 in), Y 3,600 mm (141.7 in), Z 1,066 mm (42 in), over a 4,200 x 2,200 mm (165.3 x 86.6 in) table. The distance between columns is 2,800 mm (110.2 in), so the Y travel is longer than the opening between the columns.

04 What probing and coolant options are listed for the DMC-4000x2800-R2-AC4?

Renishaw TS-27R tool touch probe, Renishaw NC4 laser tool probe and Renishaw OMP60 workpiece probe are optional, as is high pressure coolant through the spindle or tool tip at 20 bar. The standard coolant is an external 2 bar supply with spindle nozzles.
