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 DCM 2740 U is the entry size of the DCM U machines in its group, a 70,000 kg (154,324 lb) double-column machining center with 4,250 mm (167 in) of X travel, 3,200 mm (126 in) of Y and 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z. DN describes the DCM series as its heaviest double-column machines, built with ram-type spindles and auto-change head attachments. This model is listed in the five-axis range with a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle at 46/34 KW (62/46 hp) and 146 N·m (108 ft-lb).

The table is 4,100 × 2,200 mm (161 × 87 in) and takes 20,000 kg (44,093 lb). Y travel exceeds the table width by a wide margin, which leaves the ram space to work past the edges of the part. DN also gives 1,610 mm (63 in) from spindle nose to table, considerably more than the Z stroke. The table lists a fourth linear axis, W, with a rapid of 3 m/min (118 ipm). On double-column machines W is normally the cross rail moving up and down the columns, which would explain how a 1,000 mm (39 in) Z serves that much daylight, but DN's table states only the rapid and no W stroke, so ask for it.

Rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Y and 15 m/min (591 ipm) in Z. The magazine holds 40 tools.

Table load is the figure that sets this size apart from the next one. The DCM 2750 U, on the same 2,200 mm (87 in) table width and a 5,100 mm (201 in) length, is rated for 30,000 kg (66,139 lb), half as much again as the 20,000 kg (44,093 lb) here. Buyers working near the limit should compare the two on weight before length. The DCM 2740 F II shares the X and Y travels and rapids but lists 700 mm (28 in) of Z and a machine weight of 65,000 kg (143,300 lb).

The installation measures 11,200 × 7,730 × 7,700 mm (441 × 304 × 303 in), with the last figure the height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

20,000 kg (44,093 lb) table load on a 4,100 × 2,200 mm (161 × 87 in) table
3,200 mm (126 in) of Y travel, well beyond the 2,200 mm (87 in) table width
1,000 mm (39 in) of Z travel, against 700 mm (28 in) on the DCM 2740 F II
A W axis is listed, with 1,610 mm (63 in) from spindle nose to table for tall workpieces
70,000 kg (154,324 lb) of machine mass behind a 15,000 rpm spindle helps damp vibration in finishing cuts
Rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Y and 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X

Limitations

Table load is 20,000 kg (44,093 lb); the DCM 2750 U carries 30,000 kg (66,139 lb)
146 N·m (108 ft-lb) of spindle torque is low for a machine DN classes among its heaviest
The W axis rapid is 3 m/min (118 ipm) and its travel is not given in the table
40 tools, with no tool size limits stated
At 7,700 mm (303 in) high the machine needs a tall bay with crane clearance above that

Best For

Heavy mold bases and die sets up to 20,000 kg (44,093 lb) Tall workpieces that use the 1,610 mm (63 in) listed from spindle nose to table Five-axis finishing where a 70,000 kg (154,324 lb) structure is wanted under a 15,000 rpm spindle Parts up to about 4,100 × 2,200 mm (161 × 87 in) in plan

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the W axis on the DCM 2740 U?

DN's table lists a W axis rapid of 3 m/min (118 ipm) next to the X, Y and Z rapids but does not describe the axis or give its stroke. On a double-column machine W is normally the vertical travel of the cross rail. The 1,610 mm (63 in) from spindle nose to table, against 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z, is consistent with that. Confirm the stroke with DN.

02 How does the DCM 2740 U compare with the DCM 2740 F II?

Both list 4,250 mm (167 in) of X, 3,200 mm (126 in) of Y and rapids of 16, 20 and 15 m/min. The DCM 2740 F II has 700 mm (28 in) of Z and weighs 65,000 kg (143,300 lb). The DCM 2740 U has 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z and weighs 70,000 kg (154,324 lb).

03 What can the DCM 2740 U table carry?

20,000 kg (44,093 lb) on a 4,100 × 2,200 mm (161 × 87 in) table. If the workpiece and fixture come close to that, look at the DCM 2750 U, which is rated for 30,000 kg (66,139 lb) on a 5,100 × 2,200 mm (201 × 87 in) table.

04 How fast are the axes of the DCM 2740 U?

Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Y, 15 m/min (591 ipm) in Z and 3 m/min (118 ipm) in W. Y is the quickest axis, which helps on parts machined in passes across the table.

05 What building does a DCM 2740 U need?

The machine is 11,200 mm (441 in) long, 7,730 mm (304 in) wide and 7,700 mm (303 in) high and weighs 70,000 kg (154,324 lb). Add up to 20,000 kg (44,093 lb) of workpiece for the foundation design, and allow crane hook height above the machine.
