Overview

The DN Solutions DBC 130 S is the compact variant of the DBC 130 horizontal boring mill family, pairing the 130 mm spindle bore with a smaller frame for shops that need the larger boring bar capability without the full travel and footprint of the DBC 130 II. It bridges the gap between the DBC 110 S and the full DBC 130 II.

Axis travel sits at 2,000 x 1,500 x 1,200 mm (78.7 x 59.1 x 47.2 in) on X/Y/Z — identical to the DBC 110 S frame. The 1,600 x 1,400 mm (63.0 x 55.1 in) rotary table handles workpieces up to 8,000 kg (17,637 lb), which is 1,000 kg more than the DBC 110 S despite the same frame dimensions, reflecting the beefier construction needed for the 130 mm spindle.

The real draw here is the spindle: 2,500 RPM with 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,028 Nm (2,233 ft-lbs) of torque through an ISO #50 taper. That's a more powerful motor than the DBC 130 II (37 kW vs 26 kW) with nearly matching torque (3,028 vs 3,383 Nm). The 130 mm bore accepts the same large boring bars as the bigger machines, giving you deep-hole boring rigidity in a compact package.

Rapid traverse at 12 m/min (472 ipm) is actually faster than the larger DBC 130 II's 10 m/min, thanks to the lighter-duty construction. At 30,000 kg (66,139 lb), it's 13 tons lighter than the DBC 130 II while sitting in a 5,540 x 5,930 mm (218 x 233 in) footprint — same compact dimensions as the DBC 110 S.

The 37 kW spindle motor is the highest in the compact DBC frame, providing sustained cutting power for heavy boring operations. This machine is the sweet spot for shops that regularly need the 130 mm bore size and high torque but don't have the space or budget for the full-size DBC 130 II. Competes with compact-frame HBMs from Kuraki, Femco, and TOS.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

130 mm spindle bore accepts larger boring bars for deeper, more rigid boring in a compact-frame machine
3,028 Nm torque is nearly as high as the full-size DBC 130 II despite the smaller frame
37 kW spindle motor is the most powerful in the compact DBC frame for sustained heavy cutting
Compact 5,540 x 5,930 mm footprint matches the DBC 110 S while delivering 130 mm bore capability
8,000 kg table capacity handles most medium boring mill work without the larger machine's floor space demands
12 m/min rapids are faster than the full-size DBC 130 II's 10 m/min

Limitations

2,000 mm X-travel limits reach on longer workpieces — parts needing wider bore spacing need the DBC 130 II or L II
2,500 RPM max spindle speed is the lowest in the DBC lineup, limiting milling performance with smaller cutters
8,000 kg table capacity is restrictive for heavier castings that the DBC 130 II handles at 15,000 kg
1,200 mm Z-travel limits depth reach compared to the DBC 130 II's 1,600 mm

Best For

Shops that need 130 mm boring bar capability but can't justify the floor space for the full DBC 130 II Pump and valve manufacturers boring large-bore housings in a compact machine footprint General heavy machining shops where high spindle torque matters more than extended travel range Facilities replacing older compact HBMs and wanting to step up to the 130 mm bore class Job shops with mixed boring and milling work on 4,000-8,000 kg workpieces

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the DN Solutions DBC 130 S cost?

New DBC 130 S pricing typically falls between $500,000 and $750,000. It sits between the DBC 110 S ($400,000-$650,000) and the DBC 130 II ($600,000-$950,000), offering the 130 mm bore and high torque at a mid-range price point.

02 Why choose the DBC 130 S over the DBC 110 S?

Two reasons: the 130 mm spindle bore accepts larger boring bars for more rigidity on deep holes, and the 3,028 Nm torque is nearly three times the DBC 110 S's 1,104 Nm. If your boring operations regularly push the limits of 110 mm bars, the 130 S gives you the capability without upgrading to a larger frame.

03 How does the DBC 130 S compare to the DBC 130 II?

Same spindle bore (130 mm) and comparable torque (3,028 vs 3,383 Nm), but the S model has less travel (2,000 vs 3,000 mm X), lower table capacity (8,000 vs 15,000 kg), and a smaller footprint. The S is right when your parts fit within its envelope. The II is necessary when they don't.

04 Can I upgrade the DBC 130 S to more travel later?

No — the frame size and travel range are fixed at manufacturing. If you anticipate needing more travel or table capacity, it's better to buy the DBC 130 II upfront rather than outgrowing the S model. Evaluate your 5-year workpiece projections before committing.
