Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

With 4,250 mm (167 in) of X travel on a 2,500 mm (98 in) Y, the DN Solutions DBM 2040 U is the long, narrow size among DN's DBM U double-column machines. The table is 4,000 × 1,500 mm (158 × 59 in), Z travel is 1,000 mm (39 in), and the spindle reaches 15,000 rpm on an HSK-A100 taper.

Two neighbours bracket it. The DBM 2030 U has the same Y, Z, spindle and table width but stops at 3,250 mm (128 in) of X with a 3,000 × 1,500 mm (118 × 59 in) table. The DBM 2540 U keeps the 4,250 mm (167 in) X and widens Y to 3,000 mm (118 in) over a 4,000 × 2,000 mm (158 × 79 in) table. Weight follows size: this machine is 41,000 kg (90,390 lb), the DBM 2030 U is 37,000 kg (81,571 lb) and the DBM 2540 U is 46,000 kg (101,413 lb). So the DBM 2040 U is the pick when parts are long but not wide, such as beams, rails, long inserts or a row of smaller blocks.

Spindle power is listed as 46/34 KW (62/46 hp) with 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) of torque. Those numbers describe a spindle for finishing and light to medium cutting at high speed. The magazine holds 60 tools.

What DN's table leaves out for this model is as relevant as what it states. There is no table load and no rapid traverse rate. If part weight is the deciding factor, the DCM 2740 U has the same 4,250 mm (167 in) X travel with 3,200 mm (126 in) of Y, a stated table load of 20,000 kg (44,093 lb), 40 tools and a machine weight of 70,000 kg (154,324 lb).

The DBM 2040 U is listed at 14,265 × 6,000 × 5,810 mm (562 × 236 × 229 in), length by width by height. The length is more than three times the X travel, so the long axis of the shop bay has to suit it.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,250 mm (167 in) of X travel with a 4,000 mm (158 in) long table for long workpieces
Same 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle and 60-tool magazine as the larger DBM U sizes
At 41,000 kg (90,390 lb) it is far lighter than the DCM 2740 U at 70,000 kg (154,324 lb), which offers the same X travel
1,000 mm (39 in) of Z travel with 900 mm (35 in) listed from spindle nose to table
Auto-change attachments and high-precision/high-speed head attachments are listed for the series

Limitations

The table is only 1,500 mm (59 in) wide; the DBM 2540 U gives 2,000 mm (79 in) on the same X travel
No table load is stated in DN's table for this model, so heavy parts must be cleared with DN first
Rapid traverse rates are not listed either
14,265 mm (562 in) of machine length for 4,250 mm (167 in) of X travel
146 N·m (108 ft-lb) of torque limits roughing with large-diameter cutters

Best For

Long, narrow parts on a 4,000 × 1,500 mm (158 × 59 in) table Several mold inserts or plates fixtured in a row along X High-speed finishing at 15,000 rpm with a 60-tool magazine Shops that need 4,250 mm (167 in) of X without the mass of a DCM-class machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 DBM 2040 U or DBM 2030 U: which one fits my parts?

The two differ in length only. The DBM 2030 U has 3,250 mm (128 in) of X and a 3,000 × 1,500 mm (118 × 59 in) table. The DBM 2040 U has 4,250 mm (167 in) of X and a 4,000 × 1,500 mm (158 × 59 in) table. Y, Z, spindle and the 60-tool magazine are the same, and the longer machine weighs 41,000 kg (90,390 lb).

02 What spindle is fitted to the DBM 2040 U?

A 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle listed at 46/34 KW (62/46 hp) and 146 N·m (108 ft-lb). DN prints the power as a pair of ratings without saying in this table which duty each belongs to.

03 What table load does the DBM 2040 U have?

DN's table does not give one for this model. The table itself measures 4,000 × 1,500 mm (158 × 59 in). Get the load rating in writing before quoting heavy work. For reference, the DCM 2740 U, which has the same X travel, is listed at 20,000 kg (44,093 lb).

04 How much room does the DBM 2040 U need?

The listed size is 14,265 × 6,000 × 5,810 mm (562 × 236 × 229 in) in length, width and height, and the machine weighs 41,000 kg (90,390 lb). Plan for headroom above 5,810 mm (229 in) if the part is loaded by overhead crane.

05 Which series functions does DN list for the DBM U machines?

Under mold machining performance DN names DSQ I/II/III functions and high-precision/high-speed head attachments. It also lists auto-change attachments, easy pattern cycles, work load counter control and automatic feed control. The table does not say which of these are standard on a given model, so check the quotation.
