DN Solutions DBC-130 vs PAMA Speedmat 3000
DN Solutions vs PAMA · CNC Boring Machines
Summary
The DN Solutions DBC-130 and the PAMA Speedmat 3000 are table-type horizontal boring machines of similar size, with the same 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y travel. The DBC-130 is the heavier-duty machine; the PAMA is faster.
The DBC-130 offers 3,000 mm of X travel against 2,500 mm, a 15,000 kg (33,000 lb) table load against 12,000 kg (26,455 lb), 45 kW (60 hp) against 30 kW (40 HP), and 90 tools standard against 60. The Speedmat 3000 counters with 1,800 mm of Z travel against 1,600 mm, a spindle range to 4,000 RPM against 3,000 rpm, and 15 m/min (591 IPM) rapids against 10 m/min (393 in/min). It runs a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl where the DBC-130 uses a Fanuc 31i-B.

Advantages
DN Solutions DBC-130
- 3,000 mm (118.1 in) X travel against 2,500 mm (98.4 in)
- 15,000 kg (33,000 lb) table load against 12,000 kg (26,455 lb)
- 45 kW (60 hp) spindle against 30 kW (40 HP)
- 90 tools standard against 60 tools standard
PAMA Speedmat 3000
- 1,800 mm (70.9 in) Z travel against 1,600 mm (63 in)
- Spindle speed to 4,000 RPM against 3,000 rpm
- 15 m/min (591 IPM) rapids against 10 m/min (393 in/min)
- Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control for Siemens-based shops
Verdict
Choose the DN Solutions DBC-130 for the heaviest work in this class: castings and weldments up to 15,000 kg that need 3,000 mm of X travel and 45 kW. Choose the PAMA Speedmat 3000 for gearbox, pump and compressor housings within 12,000 kg, where the 4,000 RPM spindle and 15 m/min rapids cut cycle time on families of similar parts, and for shops standardized on Siemens controls.
