DN Solutions NHM 6300 vs DN Solutions NHP 5000
DN Solutions vs DN Solutions · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The DN Solutions NHM 6300 and NHP 5000 are both horizontal machining centers from DN Solutions with different priorities. The NHM 6300 is a 50-taper machine on a 630 mm (25 in) pallet, built for heavy cutting. The NHP 5000 is a 40-taper machine on a 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) pallet, built for fast production.
The NHM 6300 has 1,050 x 850 x 1,000 mm of X/Y/Z travel against 730 x 730 x 880 mm, a 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) load against 500 kg (1,102 lb), 60 tools against 40, and a Fanuc 31i-B5 control. The NHP 5000 rapids at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) against 30 m/min (1,181 ipm), weighs 11,500 kg against 20,500 kg, and fits a 5,450 × 2,680 × 2,880 mm footprint against 6,410 × 3,930 × 3,495 mm.

Advantages
DN Solutions NHM 6300
- 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) workpiece load against 500 kg (1,102 lb)
- 1,050 x 850 x 1,000 mm of X/Y/Z travel against 730 x 730 x 880 mm
- ISO 50 taper against ISO 40, for heavy roughing in tough alloys
- 60 tools against 40
DN Solutions NHP 5000
- 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids against 30 m/min (1,181 ipm)
- Smaller footprint: 5,450 × 2,680 × 2,880 mm against 6,410 × 3,930 × 3,495 mm
- 11,500 kg (25,353 lb) machine against 20,500 kg (45,195 lb)
Verdict
Choose the NHM 6300 for large cast iron housings, gear cases, valve bodies and titanium or Inconel parts that need a 630 mm pallet, 1,200 kg of load and a 50-taper spindle. Choose the NHP 5000 for medium-volume aluminum and cast iron parts on tombstones that fit a 500 × 500 mm pallet, where 60 m/min rapids raise throughput in a smaller footprint.
