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

The DN Solutions DBM 2540 U is a double-column machine in DN's five-axis range sized for wide work: 3,000 mm (118 in) of Y travel and a 2,000 mm (79 in) wide table, on 4,250 mm (167 in) of X. Z travel is 1,000 mm (39 in), the spindle is a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 unit with 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) of torque, and 60 tools sit in the magazine.

Width is the reason to choose it. The DBM 2040 U has the same X travel but 2,500 mm (98 in) of Y and a table 1,500 mm (59 in) wide. Stepping up to the DBM 2540 U keeps the 4,000 mm (158 in) table length and adds table width and Y travel together, so the margin between the table edge and the end of Y travel is preserved for working down the sides of a part. If the part is long as well as wide, the DBM 2550 U carries the same Y on 5,250 mm (207 in) of X.

The DBM 2540 without the U is a very different machine on the same travels in X and Y. DN lists the DBM 2540 with a 6,000 rpm ISO 50 spindle, 800 mm (31 in) of Z, 40 tools, a 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) table load and a machine weight of 42,000 kg (92,594 lb). The U version runs two and a half times the spindle speed on an HSK-A100 taper, has more Z and a bigger magazine, and weighs 46,000 kg (101,413 lb).

Several rows a buyer would expect are absent from DN's table for this model. Spindle power is not given, although the DBM 2040 U with the same speed, torque and taper is listed at 46/34 KW (62/46 hp). Table load and rapid traverse rates are missing too. Treat the 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) of the DBM 2540 as a figure for that machine only, and ask DN for the U's own rating.

The machine measures 14,265 × 7,430 × 5,810 mm (562 × 293 × 229 in), and DN lists 900 mm (35 in) between spindle nose and table.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

3,000 mm (118 in) of Y travel over a 4,000 × 2,000 mm (158 × 79 in) table suits wide mold bases and plates
15,000 rpm on HSK-A100, against the 6,000 rpm ISO 50 spindle of the DBM 2540
60 tools in the magazine; the DBM 2540 holds 40
1,000 mm (39 in) of Z travel, where the DBM 2540 has 800 mm (31 in)
DN lists auto-change attachments and high-precision/high-speed head attachments for the series

Limitations

DN's table gives no spindle power figure for this model
No table load is published for it, while the DBM 2540 is listed at 20,000 kg (44,092 lb)
Torque is 146 N·m (108 ft-lb), so heavy face milling is better left to the 6,000 rpm ISO 50 spindle of the DBM 2540
At 7,430 mm (293 in) wide and 5,810 mm (229 in) high the machine needs a broad, tall bay

Best For

Wide mold bases and die plates on a 4,000 × 2,000 mm (158 × 79 in) table Finishing passes at up to 15,000 rpm after roughing elsewhere Parts that need Y travel of 3,000 mm (118 in) but not more than 4,250 mm (167 in) of X Tool-intensive programs that use a 60-tool magazine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What separates the DBM 2540 U from the DBM 2540?

Both have 4,250 mm (167 in) of X and 3,000 mm (118 in) of Y. The DBM 2540 has a 6,000 rpm ISO 50 spindle, 800 mm (31 in) of Z, 40 tools and weighs 42,000 kg (92,594 lb). The DBM 2540 U has a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle with 146 N·m (108 ft-lb), 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z, 60 tools and weighs 46,000 kg (101,413 lb).

02 How powerful is the DBM 2540 U spindle?

DN's table lists 15,000 rpm, 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) and an HSK-A100 taper for this model but leaves the power row empty. The DBM 2040 U, which shows the same speed, torque and taper, is listed at 46/34 KW (62/46 hp). Confirm the rating for the DBM 2540 U with DN.

03 How wide a part can the DBM 2540 U machine?

The table is 2,000 mm (79 in) wide and Y travel is 3,000 mm (118 in), so the spindle travels beyond the table on both sides. X travel is 4,250 mm (167 in) over a 4,000 mm (158 in) long table, and Z is 1,000 mm (39 in).

04 What are the installation dimensions of the DBM 2540 U?

Length, width and height are listed as 14,265 × 7,430 × 5,810 mm (562 × 293 × 229 in), and the machine weighs 46,000 kg (101,413 lb). The foundation also has to take the workpiece, and DN's table gives no table load for this model to add in.
