Overview

The DN Solutions DBC 110 S is the compact variant of the DBC 110 horizontal boring mill family, designed for shops that need precision boring capability on medium-sized workpieces without the full footprint and cost of the DBC 110 II. The "S" designation signals the smaller-frame configuration with reduced travel and table capacity.

Axis travel runs 2,000 x 1,500 x 1,200 mm (78.7 x 59.1 x 47.2 in) on X/Y/Z — about 20% less than the DBC 110 II on each axis. The 1,600 x 1,400 mm (63.0 x 55.1 in) rotary table handles workpieces up to 7,000 kg (15,432 lb), which covers a broad range of medium boring mill applications including pump bodies, gearbox housings, and structural weldments.

The spindle delivers 3,000 RPM with 26 kW (35 hp) and 1,104 Nm (814 ft-lbs) of torque through an ISO #50 taper. While the torque is lower than the DBC 110 II's 2,827 Nm, it's still substantial for most boring and milling operations on steel and cast iron. The 3,000 RPM max speed is slightly lower than the II's 4,000 RPM but adequate for the range of operations this machine handles.

Rapid traverse at 12 m/min (472 ipm) matches the larger model. The compact structure really shows its advantage in floor space: 5,540 x 5,930 mm (218 x 233 in) is significantly smaller than the DBC 110 II, making it feasible for shops that can't dedicate 50+ square meters to a boring mill. At 29,000 kg (63,934 lb), it's 7 tons lighter than the II, easing installation requirements.

The same high-rigidity construction and servo-driven ATC carry over from the larger model. For shops where 7,000 kg table capacity and 2,000 mm X-travel cover the majority of their boring work, the DBC 110 S delivers the precision and rigidity of a full horizontal boring mill in a more manageable package. It competes with compact HBMs from Kuraki, TOS Varnsdorf, and Fermat.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Compact 5,540 x 5,930 mm footprint fits in shops that can't accommodate the larger DBC 110 II
7,000 kg table capacity handles the vast majority of medium-sized boring mill work
1,104 Nm torque through ISO #50 drives boring bars and face mills through steel and cast iron effectively
29,000 kg machine weight is 7 tons lighter than the II, simplifying foundation and installation requirements
Lower acquisition cost than the DBC 110 II while maintaining the same build quality and precision
Servo-driven ATC keeps the machine productive on multi-operation jobs

Limitations

2,000 mm X-travel limits the maximum workpiece length compared to the DBC 110 II's 2,500 mm
1,104 Nm torque is less than half the DBC 110 II's — heavier cuts require slower feeds or lighter depths
3,000 RPM max spindle speed limits milling performance with smaller diameter cutters
7,000 kg table capacity means larger castings and fabrications need the bigger DBC models

Best For

Job shops handling medium-sized boring work on parts up to 7,000 kg Pump and valve manufacturers machining housings and bodies in cast iron and steel General manufacturing shops that need boring mill capability without dedicating massive floor space Gearbox and transmission housing manufacturers requiring precision bore alignment Shops stepping up from a VMC or HMC to their first horizontal boring mill

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the DN Solutions DBC 110 S cost?

New DBC 110 S pricing typically falls between $400,000 and $650,000, making it the entry point into DN Solutions' horizontal boring mill lineup. It represents a $100,000-$150,000 savings over the DBC 110 II while maintaining the core boring mill capability.

02 Should I buy the DBC 110 S or the DBC 110 II?

If your typical workpieces weigh under 7,000 kg and fit within 2,000 mm X-travel, the S model saves floor space and cost. If you regularly handle 7,000-10,000 kg parts or need the longer X-travel, the II is the right choice. The II also delivers 2.5x the spindle torque, which matters on heavy-interrupted cuts.

03 Can the DBC 110 S do milling operations?

Yes. With its 3,000 RPM spindle and ATC, it handles face milling, end milling, drilling, and tapping alongside boring operations. Most shops use it as a multi-function machine for large parts, completing all operations in a single setup to maintain positional accuracy between features.

04 What's the precision capability of the DBC 110 S?

Horizontal boring mills in this class typically achieve positioning accuracy of 0.01-0.015 mm and bore diameter tolerances of 0.01-0.02 mm with proper setup and tooling. The high-rigidity design and 29,000 kg machine mass help maintain accuracy over long machining cycles.
