Overview

The DN Solutions BM 2035 M is the mid-size bridge machine among DN's BM M models, with a 3,500 × 1,850 mm (138 × 73 in) table that carries 10,000 kg (22,046 lb). Travels are 3,500 mm (138 in) in X, 2,050 mm (81 in) in Y and 800 mm (31 in) in Z, and the spindle is a 12,000 rpm ISO 50 unit rated 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb).

Two machines share this frame size, and the spindle is what separates them. The BM 2035 U lists 15,000 rpm, 45.9 kW (62 hp) and 146.1 N·m (108 ft-lb) with an HSK-A100 taper and a 3,500 × 1,600 mm (138 × 63 in) table. The BM 2035 M has about 2.9 times the torque of the BM 2035 U at lower speed, and a table 1,850 mm (73 in) wide. In practice the M removes metal: roughing and semi-finishing of steel blocks with large cutters, followed by finishing at up to 12,000 rpm.

For mold work the supporting equipment matters as much as the spindle. DN's series description lists a dual contact, long-nose spindle for deep pockets, linear scales on every axis, cooled ball screw bearings and nuts, and thermal displacement compensation for spindle and structure, all as standard. Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm), and the spindle nose to table distance is listed as 1,000 mm (39 in).

Y travel exceeds the table width, 2,050 mm (81 in) against 1,850 mm (73 in), so the spindle reaches past the table edge. If Z height is the constraint, the DBM 2030 lists 1,100 mm (43 in) of Z and 1,009 N·m (744 ft-lb), on 3,250 × 2,500 mm (128 × 98 in) of X and Y. The BM 2035 M weighs 35,516 kg (78,299 lb) and occupies 4,960 × 9,540 × 4,770 mm, the last figure being height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

420 N·m (310 ft-lb) at the spindle, about 2.9 times the 146.1 N·m (108 ft-lb) of the BM 2035 U
3,500 × 1,850 mm (138 × 73 in) table, wider than the 3,500 × 1,600 mm (138 × 63 in) table of the BM 2035 U
10,000 kg (22,046 lb) table load for large mold bases and die blocks
12,000 rpm on an ISO 50 taper, so one spindle covers heavy roughing and small-tool finishing
Linear scales on all axes, ball screw bearing and nut cooling, and thermal displacement compensation listed as standard

Limitations

Spindle speed stops at 12,000 rpm with 30 kW (40 hp); the BM 2035 U reaches 15,000 rpm with 45.9 kW (62 hp)
Rapid traverse of 16 m/min (630 ipm) is slow for work with many repositioning moves
Z travel is 800 mm (31 in); the DBM 2030 offers 1,100 mm (43 in)
Large installation: 4,960 × 9,540 × 4,770 mm and 35,516 kg (78,299 lb)
No tool magazine capacity or control is stated in DN's table for this model

Best For

Mold bases and die blocks up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) Roughing and finishing large steel parts in one setup with 50-taper tooling Parts up to 3,500 mm (138 in) long and 1,850 mm (73 in) wide on the table Deep-pocket mold cavities using the long-nose spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 BM 2035 M or BM 2035 U: what is the difference?

The spindle and the table. The BM 2035 M has a 12,000 rpm ISO 50 spindle with 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb) over a 3,500 × 1,850 mm (138 × 73 in) table. The BM 2035 U has a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle with 45.9 kW (62 hp) and 146.1 N·m (108 ft-lb) over a 3,500 × 1,600 mm (138 × 63 in) table. X, Y and Z travels and the 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) table load are the same.

02 How big a workpiece can the BM 2035 M handle?

The table is 3,500 × 1,850 mm (138 × 73 in) and takes 10,000 kg (22,046 lb). Travels are 3,500 mm (138 in), 2,050 mm (81 in) and 800 mm (31 in) in X, Y and Z, and the distance from spindle nose to table is listed as 1,000 mm (39 in). Part height plus tool length has to fit within that.

03 Is the BM 2035 M a roughing or a finishing machine?

Both, which is the point of putting 12,000 rpm on an ISO 50 taper. 420 N·m (310 ft-lb) and 30 kW (40 hp) support large roughing cutters, and the top speed suits small finishing tools. The standard linear scales and thermal displacement compensation are there for long finishing programs. Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm), so it is not a fast positioning machine.

04 Where does the BM 2035 M sit among the BM M models?

Between the BM 1530 M and the BM 2740 M. The BM 1530 M has 3,000 × 1,550 mm (118 × 61 in) of X and Y and an 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) table load. The BM 2740 M has 4,000 × 2,700 mm (157 × 106 in) and 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). All three list a 12,000 rpm ISO 50 spindle at 30 kW (40 hp) and 800 mm (31 in) of Z.

05 What are the size and weight of the BM 2035 M?

DN lists a footprint of 4,960 × 9,540 × 4,770 mm, given as length, width and height, and a machine weight of 35,516 kg (78,299 lb). Add up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) of workpiece when specifying the foundation, and check that the building clears 4,770 mm of machine height with crane access above the table.
