DN Solutions HC 400 II vs DN Solutions NHP 6300
DN Solutions vs DN Solutions · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The DN Solutions HC 400 II and NHP 6300 are both horizontal machining centers with 40 tools and the FANUC 0i-Plus with iHMI control. The HC 400 II is a compact 40-taper machine on a 400 × 400 mm pallet; the NHP 6300 is a larger 50-taper machine on a 630 × 630 mm pallet, so the two serve different part sizes.
The NHP 6300 has 1,050 x 900 x 1,000 mm of X/Y/Z travel against 600 x 560 x 565 mm, a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) pallet load against 400 kg (882 lb), a 30 kW (40 hp) spindle against 18.5/11 kW (25/15 hp), and 60 m/min rapids against 40 m/min. The HC 400 II weighs 11,000 kg against 18,000 kg and fits a 4,630 × 2,260 × 2,830 mm footprint against 6,520 × 3,930 × 3,495 mm.
