Overview

The DN Solutions BM 2740 pairs a 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table with travels of 4,000 mm (157 in) in X, 2,700 mm (106 in) in Y and 800 mm (31 in) in Z. It is a bridge-type vertical machining center, and its ISO 50 spindle runs to 10,000 rpm with 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb).

DN lists this model next to the BM 2740 M, and the two differ in ways that are easy to miss. The BM 2740 M has the 12,000 rpm spindle, a 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) table load and rapids of 12, 16 and 16 m/min in X, Y and Z. The BM 2740 has 10,000 rpm, a 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) table load and rapids of 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Y and Z. Power and torque are the same on both. So this is the quicker-moving machine with the lower top speed and the lighter table rating.

One caution about the series text. DN's description of the BM series refers to a 12,000 r/min spindle as standard, which matches the BM 2740 M; the table for the BM 2740 gives 10,000 rpm, and that is the figure to use. The other series features are a dual contact, long-nose spindle, linear scales on all axes, cooling of the ball screw bearings and nuts, and thermal displacement compensation for spindle and structure. Because the description is shared, confirm with DN that each applies to this variant.

Y travel of 2,700 mm (106 in) exceeds the 2,500 mm (98 in) table width, so the spindle passes the table edge. Spindle nose to table is listed at 950 mm (37 in). The machine weighs 45,000 kg (99,208 lb), against 48,000 kg (105,822 lb) for the BM 2740 M, and its footprint is 5,535 × 10,825 × 4,436 mm (218 × 426 × 175 in), height last. For taller parts the DBM 5040 lists 1,100 mm (43 in) of Z and a 2,500 mm (98 in) crossrail travel.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table with 4,000 × 2,700 mm (157 × 106 in) of X and Y travel
Rapids of 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Y and Z and 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, against 16 m/min (630 ipm) and 12 m/min (472 ipm) on the BM 2740 M
420 N·m (310 ft-lb) and 30 kW (40 hp) on an ISO 50 taper for heavy roughing
Y travel of 2,700 mm (106 in) is wider than the 2,500 mm (98 in) table
Lighter than the BM 2740 M: 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) against 48,000 kg (105,822 lb)

Limitations

Spindle speed is 10,000 rpm; the BM 2740 M reaches 12,000 rpm with the same power and torque
Table load is 10,000 kg (22,046 lb), where the BM 2740 M is rated 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) on the same table size
Z travel of 800 mm (31 in) and 950 mm (37 in) from spindle nose to table limit part height on a table this large
X rapid is 16 m/min (630 ipm) over 4,000 mm (157 in) of travel, so long repositioning moves take time
DN's series description is shared with the M models, so standard equipment for this variant needs confirming

Best For

Large plates, frames and mold bases up to 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) Workpieces up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) Heavy roughing and general machining where 10,000 rpm is sufficient Jobs with many positioning moves across a wide table, helped by 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Y

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the BM 2740 and the BM 2740 M?

Spindle speed, table load, rapids and weight. The BM 2740 runs to 10,000 rpm, carries 10,000 kg (22,046 lb), moves at 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Y and Z, and weighs 45,000 kg (99,208 lb). The BM 2740 M runs to 12,000 rpm, carries 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), moves at 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 16 m/min (630 ipm) in Y and Z, and weighs 48,000 kg (105,822 lb). Travels, table size, power and torque match.

02 What is the spindle speed of the BM 2740?

10,000 rpm, on an ISO 50 taper, with 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb). DN's general description of the BM series mentions a 12,000 r/min spindle, which is the figure in the table for the BM 2740 M. For the BM 2740 the table states 10,000 rpm.

03 How large and heavy a part can the BM 2740 take?

The table is 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) with a 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) load limit. Travels are 4,000 mm (157 in), 2,700 mm (106 in) and 800 mm (31 in). The spindle nose to table distance is listed as 950 mm (37 in), so tall parts with long tools need checking. For loads above 10,000 kg, the BM 2740 M is rated 15,000 kg (33,069 lb).

04 How fast do the axes of the BM 2740 move?

Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in both Y and Z. That makes Y and Z half as fast again as X. On a 4,000 mm (157 in) X axis the 16 m/min (630 ipm) rate is the one that shows in cycle time, so arrange multi-part setups to keep long X moves to a minimum.

05 What space and foundation does the BM 2740 need?

The footprint is 5,535 × 10,825 × 4,436 mm (218 × 426 × 175 in), listed as length, width and height, and the machine weighs 45,000 kg (99,208 lb). The foundation has to carry that plus up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) on the table. Check crane hook height against the 4,436 mm (175 in) machine height.
