2021 JOHNFORD DMC1600 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2021 Johnford DMC1600 is a 3-axis bridge-type vertical machining center designed for large mold, die, and structural component machining requiring generous table capacity and stable cross-rail construction. The machine provides a 66.9” × 43.3” worktable with X/Y/Z travels of 63.0”, 51.2”, and 31.5”, offering a substantial machining envelope for large workpieces across mold, die, aerospace, and heavy general engineering applications. The No.40 taper spindle reaches 8,000 RPM in the standard Hi-Lo gear configuration -- with built-in spindle options extending to 20,000 RPM -- driven by a 15 HP standard motor. Higher-power built-in spindle configurations with up to 27 HP are available for demanding heavy cutting applications. The Fanuc 0i-MF Plus CNC control provides rigid tapping, high-speed contouring, and a comprehensive operator interface with optional Siemens 828D control. Box guideway construction on all three axes delivers the rigidity required for large-format machining accuracy. Overall machine footprint is 220.1” x 129.9” x 151.0” with a machine weight of 45,000 lbs, requiring a reinforced foundation for installation. The DMC1600 is a capable large-format gantry VMC from Johnford, a Taiwanese manufacturer with an established track record supplying high-capacity bridge machines to mold and aerospace industries worldwide.
