Overview

The DN Solutions BM 2740 M is a bridge-type vertical machining center for large mold work, with 4,000 mm (157 in) of X travel, 2,700 mm (106 in) of Y and 800 mm (31 in) of Z over a 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table. Its ISO 50 spindle reaches 12,000 rpm and is rated 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb). It is the largest M model of the range: the BM 2035 M stops at 3,500 mm (138 in) of X and 2,050 mm (81 in) of Y.

Y travel is longer than the table is wide, 2,700 mm (106 in) against 2,500 mm (98 in), so the spindle reaches both edges of a mold base that fills the table. The table carries 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). The plain BM 2740 has the same table and travels but is listed at 10,000 kg (22,046 lb), a difference that matters for a tool-steel block of this size.

What the M gives up against the BM 2740 is traverse speed. Rapids here are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 16 m/min (630 ipm) in Y and Z, where the BM 2740 is listed at 16 m/min (630 ipm) and 24 m/min (945 ipm). In return the spindle runs to 12,000 rpm against 10,000 rpm on the BM 2740, at the same 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb).

DN's description of the series centres on finishing accuracy. The spindle is a long-nose, dual-contact type as standard, all axes carry linear scales as standard, the ball screw bearings and nuts are cooled, covers shield the structure from ambient temperature changes, and thermal displacement compensation for spindle and structure is included as standard.

Spindle nose to table is 950 mm (37 in) with 800 mm (31 in) of Z stroke, so a tall mold plus a long tool should be checked against that height. The machine weighs 48,000 kg (105,822 lb) and takes 5,535 × 10,825 mm (218 × 426 in) of floor at 4,675 mm (184 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12,000 rpm ISO 50 spindle rated 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb), against 10,000 rpm on the BM 2740
15,000 kg (33,069 lb) table load on a 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table
2,700 mm (106 in) of Y travel covers the full 2,500 mm (98 in) table width
Linear scales on all axes and thermal displacement compensation for spindle and structure are listed as standard for the series
Long-nose, dual-contact spindle as standard, which DN aims at deep pocket mold machining

Limitations

Rapids of 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 16 m/min (630 ipm) in Y and Z are slower than the 16 m/min (630 ipm) and 24 m/min (945 ipm) of the BM 2740
Z travel is 800 mm (31 in) with 950 mm (37 in) from spindle nose to table, which restricts tall workpieces once tool length is added
Tops out at 12,000 rpm; the BM 2740 U is the model with 15,000 rpm
DN's table for this model gives no tool magazine capacity, so that has to be confirmed in the quotation
At 48,000 kg (105,822 lb) and 4,675 mm (184 in) high it needs a prepared foundation and generous headroom

Best For

Large injection mold and die bases weighing up to 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) Deep pocket mold machining with the long-nose spindle Finishing passes at up to 12,000 rpm on an ISO 50 taper Plates and mold bases that fill a 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the BM 2740 M differ from the BM 2740?

Travels, table size, spindle power and torque are the same. The BM 2740 M has a 12,000 rpm spindle and a 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) table load, where the BM 2740 is listed at 10,000 rpm and 10,000 kg (22,046 lb). The BM 2740 is faster between cuts, with rapids of 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Y and Z against 12 m/min (472 ipm) and 16 m/min (630 ipm) on the BM 2740 M.

02 What separates the BM 2740 M from the BM 2740 U?

The spindle and the Y axis. The BM 2740 U runs to 15,000 rpm with 45.9 kW (62 hp) and 146.1 N·m (108 ft-lb), while the BM 2740 M has 12,000 rpm, 30 kW (40 hp) and 420 N·m (310 ft-lb), close to three times the torque. The BM 2740 U has 2,500 mm (98 in) of Y travel and a 12 m/min (472 ipm) Z rapid; the BM 2740 M has 2,700 mm (106 in) and 16 m/min (630 ipm). Both share the 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) table and the 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) load.

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

The table measures 4,000 × 2,500 mm (157 × 98 in) and is rated for 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). X travel matches the table length at 4,000 mm (157 in) and Y travel of 2,700 mm (106 in) exceeds its width. Height is the tighter limit: Z travel is 800 mm (31 in) and the spindle nose sits at most 950 mm (37 in) above the table.

04 Which accuracy features are standard on the BM 2740 M?

DN lists linear scales on all axes as standard, together with thermal displacement compensation for the spindle and the structure. The series description also names a ball screw bearing and nut cooling system, covers that limit the effect of ambient temperature changes, and a dual-contact spindle as standard.

05 How much room does the BM 2740 M need?

DN lists the machine at 5,535 × 10,825 × 4,675 mm (218 × 426 × 184 in), so plan for a ceiling and crane hook well above 4,675 mm (184 in). Machine weight is 48,000 kg (105,822 lb) before the 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) the table can carry, which the foundation has to support together.
