 Heaviest of them all! And we mean it. Johnford double column (DMC) and sliding double column (SDMC) machining centers not only outweigh the competition, they outperform them too! Best of all, they won't break the bank.

Molds, dies, aerospace, automotive, whatever - if it is big and/or heavy these are the perfect machines for the job. These machines start with rock solid cast iron construction. The massive cast iron bases, the huge columns, the mammoth bridges, the giant ballscrews, and the enormous headstocks all make these machines an unbelievable value. Our 90 degree bridge with offset Y axis ways has more distance across the ways and a wider saddle than any of our competitors!  Heavy castings absorb the tremendous amount of torque generated by high horsepower two speed geared spindle drives. Box ways in the Y and Z axes give these machines superior cutting rigidity while the superior load carrying capacity of linear ways on the X axis allows for the accurate machining of work pieces up to 44,000 lbs. on the moving table machines.

Our DMC moving table machines are now offered in three distinct series.  The DMC 900, 1200, and 1500 machines are our small-frame series offering Y travels of 35".  The mid-frame series includes teh DMC-1600, 2100, and 3100 and features standard Y travel of 43" with an option for 51".  The DMC-900 through 3100 outshine comparable C-frame machine by having much better ergonomics, superior chip removal, and they take less floor space - but they are priced less than most conventional VMC's.  The DMC-3000 and DMC-4000 are our large frame machines with Y travels of 70" or 110" depending on the model selected.  

The SDMC series machines, with X travels up to 480", feature a stationary table / moving column design.  The table load capacity is unlimited. All machines larger than the DMC-3000 x 1500 are now available with either the full 5 axis contouring head or the five face heads as options. While these machines come in standard versions, they can be built to order with special functions and travel sizes.  All Johnford bridge mills are loaded with features that others call options. Features such as complete chip removal systems, large capacity arm type tool changers, full enclosures, geared heads, and spindle coolers. Johnford offers a variety of CNC controls to match your requirements. The DMC series machines can be equipped with Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Heidenhain, or Siemens controls. The SDMC series machines and all 5 axis machines are equipped with the Fanuc 15M-B only.
