DN Solutions BM 2740 vs Okuma GENOS M460-VE
DN Solutions vs Okuma · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The DN Solutions BM 2740 and the Okuma GENOS M460-VE are both listed as vertical machining centers, but they serve different jobs. The DN Solutions BM 2740 has a 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table and an ISO 50 spindle; the Okuma GENOS M460-VE has a 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in) table and a BT40 spindle.
The DN Solutions machine has more spindle power, 30 kW (40 hp) against 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp). The Okuma is the faster machine: 15,000 rpm against 10,000 rpm, and rapids of 40 m/min in X-Y and 32 m/min in Z (1,575 and 1,262 ipm) against 16 m/min (630 ipm).

Advantages
DN Solutions BM 2740
- 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table against 1,000 × 460 mm (39.37 × 18.11 in)
- 30 kW (40 hp) spindle against 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp)
- ISO 50 taper for large cutters and heavy roughing, against BT40
Okuma GENOS M460-VE
- 15,000 rpm against 10,000 rpm, for aluminum and small tools
- Rapids of 40 m/min in X-Y and 32 m/min in Z against 16 m/min (630 ipm)
- BT40 machine sized for vise and fixture-plate work on small and medium parts
Verdict
Choose by part size. The DN Solutions BM 2740 is for large plates, frames and mold bases that need a 4,000 × 2,500 mm table, ISO 50 tooling and 30 kW (40 hp) for heavy roughing. The Okuma GENOS M460-VE is for small and medium parts in vises and on fixture plates, where 15,000 rpm and rapids of 40 m/min matter more than table area. A part that fits the Okuma has no need of the larger machine, and the reverse is not possible.
