Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford SDMC-6000x2800x800 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
The Johnford SDMC-6000x2800x800 is a sliding double column machining center, the portal layout in which the columns travel along X and the workpiece stays on a fixed table. Travels are 6,000 mm (236.2 in) in X, 2,800 mm (110.2 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z, over a table of 6,000 x 2,200 mm (236.2 x 86.6 in).
A fixed table changes how load is rated. Instead of a total weight, Johnford gives 5,000 kg/m² (1,023 lb/ft²), so a part's weight is limited by the area it rests on and not by what a moving table's drives can accelerate. It also keeps the machine short for its travel: 11,200 mm (441 in) long with six metres of X, where the moving-table DMC-6100SH needs 15,590 mm (613.8 in).
The cutting end matches Johnford's other No.50 double column machines. BT-50 / CAT-50 taper, a Ø90 mm (Ø3.5 in) spindle, 6,000 rpm through a Hi-Lo Gear and 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp). The magazine holds 40 tools as standard, each up to 20 kg (44 lb).
Two details separate it from the fixed-column range. High-precision linear scales on the X axes are standard, and the external coolant supply is rated 4 bar. Rapids are 10 / 10 / 10 m/min (394 / 394 / 394 ipm). The table lists a W axis of 1,000~2,500 mm (39.4~98.4 in) for the crossbeam, and the maker states that bigger versions of the table and of the X, Y, Z and W axes are all available. For taller parts there is the SDMC-6000x2800x1066 with 1,066 mm (42 in) of Z.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Fixed table rated 5,000 kg/m² (1,023 lb/ft²), so heavy parts do not ride on a moving axis
- 6,000 x 2,800 mm of X and Y travel in a machine 11,200 mm (441 in) long
- High-precision linear scales on the X axes as standard
- 40-tool magazine as standard, with 60, 80 and 120 as options
- 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) Hi-Lo Gear spindle, BT-50 / CAT-50
Limitations
- 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z travel; the SDMC-6000x2800x1066 has 1,066 mm (42 in)
- Rapid traverse of 10 m/min (394 ipm) on every axis
- Single spindle speed range to 6,000 rpm in the table
- 63,000 kg (138,600 lb) machine that needs its own foundation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A sliding double column (portal) machining center: the columns and crossbeam move along the 6,000 mm (236.2 in) X axis and the table is fixed. Johnford's DMC series is the opposite arrangement, with fixed columns and a moving table.
02
The rating is given per area: 5,000 kg/m² (1,023 lb/ft²) on a 6,000 x 2,200 mm (236.2 x 86.6 in) table. The page gives no total weight, so the limit for a particular part depends on its footprint.
03
Vertical capacity. The SDMC-6000x2800x1066 has 1,066 mm (42 in) of Z travel, a spindle nose to table range of 150~1,216 mm (5.9~47.9 in), a height of 4,531 mm (178.3 in) and weighs 65,000 kg (143,000 lb). The SDMC-6000x2800x800 has 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z, is 4,265 mm (167.9 in) high and weighs 63,000 kg (138,600 lb).
04
5-Face, NC 2-Axis, universal and orthogonal milling heads, a twin spindle 2H version with dual-path control, a B-axis 0.001-degree continuous rotary table in front of the machine table, coolant through the spindle or tool tip at 20 bar, and larger tool magazines.
