DN Solutions DVF 5000 vs Haas UMC-500SS
DN Solutions vs Haas Automation · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The DN Solutions DVF 5000 and the Haas UMC-500SS are 5-axis machining centers of nearly the same size, with 400 mm (16 in) and 16 in (406 mm) of Z travel, a 12,000 rpm standard spindle and a 30-tool magazine each. The differences are in the spindle rating, the rapids and the weight of the machine.
The Haas has the stronger standard spindle, 30 hp (22.4 kW) against 18.5 kW (25 hp); DN Solutions offers 22 kW (30 hp) as an option. The DVF 5000 moves faster, with 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) rapids against 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min), has more Y travel at 450 mm (18 in) against 16 in (406 mm), and can be ordered with an 18,000 rpm spindle. It is also the heavier machine, at 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) against 11,900 lb (5,400 kg).

Advantages
DN Solutions DVF 5000
- 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) rapid traverse against 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min)
- 450 mm (18 in) of Y travel against 16 in (406 mm)
- 18,000 rpm spindle available as an option; the UMC-500SS is listed at 12,000 rpm only
Haas UMC-500SS
- 30 hp (22.4 kW) standard spindle against 18.5 kW (25 hp); the DVF 5000 needs its option to reach 22 kW (30 hp)
- Lighter machine to site: 11,900 lb (5,400 kg) against 7,500 kg (16,535 lb)
- Listed with CT40 / BT40 / HSK-A63 spindle tapers against ISO 40
Verdict
Choose the Haas UMC-500SS when standard spindle power counts and the machine has to go on a lighter floor: it gives 30 hp (22.4 kW) without an option and weighs 11,900 lb (5,400 kg). Choose the DN Solutions DVF 5000 for parts that use its 450 mm (18 in) of Y, for work with many positioning moves at 40 m/min (1,575 ipm), or for fine-detail work that justifies the 18,000 rpm option.
