The extensive Johnford DMC series of 27 moving-table bridge mills provides a comprehensive selection of machine sizes and capabilities.
Machine X-Y-Z travels range from 36″ x 36″ x 30″ (3455 mm x 3455 mm x 760 mm) to 196″ x 157″ x 32/42″ (4978 mm x 3989 mm x 812/1067 mm), with W-axis travel optional on the largest machines. Spindle tapers include CT-40 (HSK-63) and CT-50 (HSK 100). Spindle power, depending on the machine, ranges from 15 hp to 35 hp.
Most models have one-piece column and bridge castings. Massive Z-axis heads and Y-axis saddles feature square box ways coated with Turcite and have diagonally arranged ribs engineered to minimize distortion than can result long-time heavy duty service. The X-axis table traverse is accomplished via heavy duty Schneeberger roller linear ways for accurate positioning of heavy work pieces. Large diameter, pretensioned ballscrews and powerful servo motors also aid positioning accuracy.
Ergonomics are designed to facilitate easy loading and unloading. Twin screw-type conveyors plus a caterpillar conveyor ensure complete chip removal with little manual cleaning.
The standard rotary B-axis has a hydrostatic bearing system and is driven via a high-precision dual pinion mechanism. With the high-resolution encoder, B-axis accuracy is +/-7.5 arc seconds with +/-5 arc seconds repeatability. Standard features includes a stand-alone heavy duty 60 tool (80 and 120 tool optional) arm type automatic tool changer, a comprehensive chip removal system, a high volume coolant system, and 300 psi coolant through the spindle. The standard Fanuc 31iM-B control features the Fanuc Alpha I servo system with 1,000,000 pulse encoders.
A comprehensive selection of options enables users to custom-tailor machine capabilities to specific production needs. Choices include axis extenders, rotary tables, pallet changers, tool and part probes and high-pressure coolant systems.
