Overview

The DN Solutions DCM 2740 F II is the shortest machine in the series DN calls its heaviest double-column machining centers. It has 4,250 mm (167 in) of X travel, 3,200 mm (126 in) of Y and 700 mm (28 in) of Z, a table rated for 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) and a machine weight of 65,000 kg (143,300 lb).

Short is relative. The listed footprint is 11,200 × 7,730 mm (441 × 304 in) and the machine stands 6,700 mm (264 in) high. Moving up the range adds length and little else: the DCM 2750 F II has 5,250 mm (207 in) of X at 68,000 kg (149,914 lb) and the DCM 2760 F II has 6,250 mm (246 in) at 71,000 kg (156,528 lb), both with the Y, Z and rapid figures of this machine. A shop whose parts stay inside 4,250 mm (167 in) gives up nothing in cross-section by choosing the DCM 2740 F II.

Rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Y and 15 m/min (591 ipm) in Z. Vertical reach needs a careful read. Z travel is 700 mm (28 in), while the spindle nose can stand 1,650 mm (65 in) from the table, so the ram stroke covers less than half of that height. Ask DN how the working height is set for a low part.

The spindle is the open question. For this model DN's table gives no speed, power, torque or taper, and no table size. The series description speaks of a range of ram-type spindles and auto-change head attachments, so the spindle is specified in the quotation. The DCM 2740 U, on the same X and Y travels, is listed with a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle of 146 N·m (108 ft-lb), 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z and a 4,100 × 2,200 mm (161 × 87 in) table.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

20,000 kg (44,092 lb) table load in the shortest machine of the series
3,200 mm (126 in) of Y travel with a 20 m/min (787 ipm) Y rapid
At 65,000 kg (143,300 lb) it is lighter than the DCM 2750 F II at 68,000 kg (149,914 lb), with the same Y and Z travels
A range of ram-type spindles and auto-change head attachments is listed for the series
1,650 mm (65 in) from spindle nose to table for tall workpieces

Limitations

DN's table lists no spindle speed, power, torque or taper for this model
Z travel is 700 mm (28 in); the DCM 2740 U has 1,000 mm (39 in)
No table size is listed, though the DCM 2740 U on the same travels has a 4,100 × 2,200 mm (161 × 87 in) table
Table load of 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) is well below the 33,000 kg (72,753 lb) of the DCM 3250 F II
Needs 11,200 × 7,730 mm (441 × 304 in) of floor, 6,700 mm (264 in) of height and a foundation for 65,000 kg (143,300 lb)

Best For

Heavy castings and weldments weighing up to 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) Parts inside 4,250 × 3,200 mm (167 × 126 in) of X and Y travel Tall workpieces under 1,650 mm (65 in) of spindle-nose height Multi-face machining with auto-change head attachments

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the DCM 2740 F II?

X travel is 4,250 mm (167 in), Y is 3,200 mm (126 in) and Z is 700 mm (28 in). The distance from spindle nose to table is listed as 1,650 mm (65 in). Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Y and 15 m/min (591 ipm) in Z.

02 How does the DCM 2740 F II differ from the DCM 2740 U?

X travel, Y travel and the rapids match. The DCM 2740 U is listed with a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle, 46/34 KW (62/46 hp), 146 N·m (108 ft-lb), 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z, 40 tools and a weight of 70,000 kg (154,324 lb). The DCM 2740 F II has 700 mm (28 in) of Z and weighs 65,000 kg (143,300 lb), and DN's table states no spindle figures for it.

03 How heavy a workpiece can the DCM 2740 F II carry?

The table is rated for 20,000 kg (44,092 lb). DN's table does not give the table dimensions for this model. For scale, the wider DCM 3250 F II is rated for 33,000 kg (72,753 lb) on a 5,100 × 2,700 mm (201 × 106 in) table, so heavier work points to that machine.

04 How much floor space does the DCM 2740 F II need?

DN lists 11,200 × 7,730 × 6,700 mm (441 × 304 × 264 in) as length, width and height, and a machine weight of 65,000 kg (143,300 lb). Add up to 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) of workpiece when the foundation is designed, and check crane hook height against the 6,700 mm (264 in) figure.
