Advantages
DN Solutions NHP 5000
- Smaller footprint: 5,450 × 2,680 × 2,880 mm against 6,520 × 3,930 × 3,495 mm
- 11,500 kg (25,353 lb) machine against 18,000 kg (39,683 lb)
- ISO 40 taper suited to aluminum and medium-volume production work
DN Solutions NHP 6300
- 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) pallet load against 500 kg (1,102 lb)
- 630 × 630 mm (25 × 25 in) pallet and ISO 50 taper against 500 × 500 mm and ISO 40
- 1,050 x 900 x 1,000 mm of X/Y/Z travel against 730 x 730 x 880 mm
Verdict
Choose by part weight and material. The NHP 5000 suits medium-volume aluminum and cast iron parts on tombstones within 500 kg, including aerospace aluminum work, in a smaller footprint. The NHP 6300 suits engine blocks, transmission cases and heavy steel or cast iron parts that need a 630 × 630 mm pallet, 1,500 kg of load and a 50-taper spindle. Rapids and tool count are the same.
