DMC P/PH Series 3100mm – 6100mm with 2300mm (90.5″) Extended Y-Axis Travel

Johnford’s PH Series CNC bridge mills deliver exceptional capacity and precision for large-part machining with an extended Y-axis travel of 2300 mm (90.5″). Built to handle the demands of heavy-duty cutting while maintaining accuracy, the PH Series features an extra-heavy, one-piece Meehanite cast structure with 650 mm (25.6″) widely spaced box ways and 880 mm (34.6″) roller linear guideway spacing for outstanding rigidity. This robust design ensures stable, repeatable performance in demanding industrial applications.

Engineered for Rugged Performance and Clean Operation

The PH Series Y-axis rides in a fully enclosed carriage that protects box ways and linear guideways from contamination or accidental damage, maintaining machining accuracy and ensuring a clean, operator-friendly work area with efficient chip flushing. As machine size and capability increase, Johnford integrates advanced options such as full 5-face and 5-axis machining heads. To support these larger travels and cutting forces, the bridge, columns, and headstock castings are significantly reinforced over smaller series, staying true to Johnford’s hallmark of robust engineering while retaining superior ergonomics and enclosure design.

Precision Components for Demanding Applications

All box ways — including the optional extended-travel Z-axis (available in 42″ and 48″ configurations) — are precision-ground and Turcite-B coated for smooth movement and long-lasting durability. Powerful servo motors deliver maximum thrust: 6 kW on the X-axis and 7 kW on the Y-axis ensure efficient positioning under heavy loading. Extra-large diameter ballscrews further improve positional accuracy, with dimensions of 70 mm in X, 63 mm in Y, and 50 mm in Z. For even more versatility, the PH Series can be configured with optional 5-face and 5-axis machining heads or customized to meet unique production needs.

Key Features:

  • 2300 mm (90.5″) extended Y-axis travel for large workpieces
  • Extra-heavy one-piece Meehanite cast iron structure for maximum rigidity
  • 650 mm (25.6″) box way spacing and 880 mm (34.6″) roller linear guideway spacing
  • Fully enclosed Y-axis carriage protects ways and improves chip flushing
  • Precision-ground Turcite-B coated box ways on all axes
  • Optional extended Z-axis travels of 42″ and 48″
  • Powerful 6 kW X-axis and 7 kW Y-axis servo motors for high thrust
  • Extra-large diameter ballscrews (X: 70 mm, Y: 63 mm, Z: 50 mm)
  • Optional 5-face and 5-axis machining heads
  • Customized machine sizes and configurations available

Ideal for:

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Large mold and die work
  • Heavy-duty precision machining of large parts
