How much does the Johnford DMC-6100SH cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford DMC-6100SH 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
Top of the DMC-S table, the Johnford DMC-6100SH has every figure of the frame at its maximum: 6,100 mm (240.2 in) of X, a 14,000 kg (30,800 lb) table load, 47,000 kg (103,525 lb) of machine weight, and the No.50 spindle with its 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) Hi Lo Gear drive.
It remains a fixed-column machine. The table, 6,200 x 1,500 mm (244.1 x 59 in), carries the part past the bridge, which is why the installed length is 15,590 mm (613.8 in). Beyond this size Johnford's answer is a different architecture, the sliding double column SDMC, where the workpiece stays still.
Y travel is 1,778 mm (70 in). Parts wider than that, at shorter lengths, belong on the DMC-P frame; the DMC-4100PH offers 2,300 mm of Y but no more than 4,100 mm (161.4 in) of X. So the 6100SH has a clear niche: long, relatively narrow, heavy steel and iron parts. Lathe beds, planer-type machine components, rolling mill parts, long die shoes.
The spindle takes BT-50 / CAT-50 holders, HSK A100 optionally, on a 90 mm (3.5 in) bearing. 6,000 rpm is standard. Tools up to Ø200 mm (Ø7.8 in), 400 mm (15.7 in) and 15 kg (33 lb) go through the 24-tool arm type changer. Standard coolant is an external 2 bar supply; high pressure coolant through the spindle at 20 bar is an extra worth considering for deep drilling along a six-metre part.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels of 6,100 x 1,778 x 800 mm (240.2 x 70 x 31.5 in), a 6,200 x 1,500 mm (244.1 x 59 in) table rated 14,000 kg (30,800 lb), and a BT-50 / CAT-50 spindle at 6,000 rpm with 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp).
02
The SDMC-6000x2800x800 is a sliding double column machine with 6,000 mm (236.2 in) of X, 2,800 mm (110.2 in) of Y and a 6,000 x 2,200 mm (236.2 x 86.6 in) table. The DMC-6100SH moves its table instead and has 1,778 mm (70 in) of Y. Both use a 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) BT-50 / CAT-50 spindle at 6,000 rpm.
03
15,590 x 4,600 x 4,013 mm (613.8 x 181.1 x 158 in) and 47,000 kg (103,525 lb). The DMC-5100SH, one size shorter, is 13,666 mm (538 in) long and weighs 42,100 kg (92,620 lb).
04
Not as standard. The base machine has an external coolant supply at 2 bar with spindle nozzles. High pressure coolant through the spindle or through the tool tip at 20 bar, with cartridge type filtration, is optional.
