Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DN Solutions DBM 1525 S is a double-column machining center with a ram-type spindle, listed with a 2,800 × 2,800 mm (110 × 110 in) table and 2,800 mm (110 in) of travel in both X and Y. Z travel is 1,350 mm (53 in) and the spindle runs to 12,000 rpm. DN positions the series for medium to large molds.

A square envelope is unusual among the DBM machines. The DBM 2030 has 3,250 mm (128 in) of X but 2,500 mm (98 in) of Y over a 1,500 × 3,000 mm (59 × 118 in) table, and the DBM 2550 stretches X to 5,250 mm (207 in). The DBM 1525 S suits a part that is as wide as it is long. It also lists more Z than the DBM 2030, 1,350 mm (53 in) against 1,100 mm (43 in), and twice the spindle speed of the DBM 2550, which is listed at 6,000 rpm.

The ram moves on a box guideway in Z, while DN names roller-type LM guideways for the linear transfer system. Rapid traverse is 16 m/min in X and Z and 16 m/min (630 ipm) in Y. Multiple thermal displacement sensors feed the correction for spindle and structure. Tools are changed by a cam-type changer, which is standard, from a magazine of 40; DN also lists a 60-tool selection.

Two things should be settled with DN before ordering. The table gives 1,350 mm (53 in) of Z travel but 1,000 mm (39 in) from spindle nose to table, so ask how much of the stroke is usable above a given workpiece. Spindle power, torque, taper and table load are absent from the table for this model. The machine weighs 28,000 kg (61,729 lb) and covers 4,395 × 8,220 mm (173 × 324 in) of floor at 4,360 mm (172 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Square 2,800 × 2,800 mm (110 × 110 in) table with 2,800 mm (110 in) of travel in both X and Y
12,000 rpm ram-type spindle, twice the 6,000 rpm listed for the DBM 2550
1,350 mm (53 in) of Z travel on a box guideway, against 1,100 mm (43 in) on the DBM 2030
Cam-type tool changer is standard, with 40 tools and a 60-tool selection
Roller-type LM guideways and multiple thermal displacement sensors for spindle and structure

Limitations

X travel of 2,800 mm (110 in) is shorter than the 3,250 mm (128 in) of the DBM 2030, so long narrow parts belong on another model
No spindle power, torque or taper is listed for this model, so cutting capacity cannot be judged from the published figures
No maximum table load is published, a figure a mold shop needs before craning in a large block
Spindle nose to table is listed as 1,000 mm (39 in), less than the 1,350 mm (53 in) of Z travel; usable height has to be confirmed

Best For

Medium to large molds that are roughly square in plan Mold finishing at spindle speeds up to 12,000 rpm Deep cavities that call for a long ram stroke in Z Jobs that keep up to 40 tools loaded at once

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels and table size of the DBM 1525 S?

DN's table lists 2,800 mm (110 in) of X travel, 2,800 mm (110 in) of Y and 1,350 mm (53 in) of Z, over a 2,800 × 2,800 mm (110 × 110 in) table. Distance from spindle nose to table is given as 1,000 mm (39 in). Because that is less than the Z stroke, check the usable height for your workpiece with DN.

02 How many tools does the DBM 1525 S hold?

The standard magazine holds 40 tools and is served by a cam-type automatic tool changer, which DN lists as standard and credits with a shorter tool change time. A 60-tool magazine appears in the series description as a selectable alternative.

03 How does the DBM 1525 S differ from the DBM 2030?

The DBM 1525 S has a square 2,800 × 2,800 mm (110 × 110 in) table and a 12,000 rpm spindle. The DBM 2030 has a long 1,500 × 3,000 mm (59 × 118 in) table with 3,250 mm (128 in) of X and 2,500 mm (98 in) of Y, and its spindle is listed by torque, 1,009 N·m (744 ft-lb), rather than by speed. Both carry 40 tools.

04 What do we know about the DBM 1525 S spindle?

It is a ram-type spindle with a maximum of 12,000 rpm, and the ram travels on a box guideway in Z. DN mentions multiple thermal displacement sensors for the spindle and structure. Power, torque and taper are missing from the table for this model, so request them before comparing it with other machines.

05 How much space does the DBM 1525 S occupy?

The listed dimensions are 4,395 × 8,220 × 4,360 mm (173 × 324 × 172 in) as length, width and height. Machine weight is 28,000 kg (61,729 lb). Allow for the workpiece on top of that when the foundation is designed, since no table load is published.
