Overview

The Johnford DMC-4000x2800x800 is the base model of the Large DMC group, a fixed double column machining center whose name states its travels: 4,000 mm (157.4 in) in X, 2,800 mm (110.2 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z. The columns stand 2,800 mm (110.2 in) apart and the table is 4,200 x 2,200 mm (165.3 x 86.6 in).

Twenty tonnes is the figure that sets it apart from the medium frames. The table is rated 20,000 kg (44,000 lb), where the DMC-4100PH stops at 13,000 kg (28,600 lb). Machine weight is 59,200 kg (130,240 lb).

The spindle is a plain vertical No.50 unit: BT-50 / CAT-50, Ø90 mm (Ø3.5 in) spindle diameter, 6,000 rpm through a Hi-Lo Gear, 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp). Of the four Large DMC columns in the maker's table this is the only one with a fixed vertical spindle and 800 mm of Z; the DMC-4000x2800-5F and the two R2 models have 1,066 mm (42 in) of Z and 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y to make room for their heads.

The table also lists a W axis of 1,000~2,500 mm (39.4~98.4 in), and the accessory list says crossbeam travel is available, so the moving crossbeam should be treated as an option to specify. Rapids are 12 / 12 / 10 m/min (472 / 472 / 394 ipm). The enclosure is a semi-enclosure, not a full one. Tools can weigh 20 kg (44 lb), more than the 15 kg (33 lb) of the DMC-4100PH.
