Overview

The DN Solutions DCM 3260 U combines the wider DCM 32xx column spacing with 6,250 mm of X-travel, creating a 6,100 x 2,700 mm working surface that supports 39,000 kg (85,980 lb). It's the mid-range option in the DCM 32xx series, bridging the gap between the 5-meter 3250 U and the 8-meter 3280 U.

With 3,700 mm of Y-travel and the wider 2,700 mm table, the DCM 3260 U opens up machining of parts that are both long and wide — full-size automotive body side dies, wide aerospace panels, and oversized mold halves that won't fit on the narrower DCM 27xx series. The W-axis provides 1,100 mm of crossrail travel for vertical flexibility on tall parts and deep cavities.

The spindle runs the DCM standard: 15,000 RPM, 46 kW, 146 Nm through HSK-A100. The universal head delivers 5-axis positioning, and auto-change head attachments provide versatility between roughing and finishing operations. DSQ I/II/III functions optimize surface finish quality.

Rapid traverse hits 16/20/15/3 m/min on X/Y/Z/W. The 40-tool magazine is standard. U-head cooling and comprehensive thermal compensation are included.

At 91,000 kg (200,622 lb), the DCM 3260 U is a 91-ton machine with a footprint of 15,710 x 8,230 x 7,700 mm. That's over 15 meters long and 8 meters wide — installation planning starts early and involves structural engineers, foundation specialists, and rigging experts.

The 39,000 kg table capacity is a sweet spot for shops working with large die blocks and heavy mold assemblies. It's enough capacity for most parts that fit within the 6-meter envelope without paying for the 45,000 kg capacity of the larger 37xx and 42xx models.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

6,250 mm X-travel with 2,700 mm table width covers parts that are both long and wide
3,700 mm Y-travel provides generous cross-axis reach for the widest workpieces
39,000 kg table capacity handles extremely heavy die blocks and large castings
91,000 kg machine mass ensures vibration-free cutting on large surfaces
W-axis crossrail with 1,100 mm travel for deep cavity and tall part access
DSQ I/II/III and auto-change heads optimize die/mold surface quality and productivity

Limitations

91,000 kg weight requires extensive foundation engineering and facility preparation
15+ meter length and 8+ meter width demand substantial dedicated floor space
40-tool magazine may limit complex multi-tool programs on 6-meter parts
Investment of $2.2-3M plus installation costs targets only large-volume operations

Best For

Automotive die shops cutting wide body panel dies that exceed the DCM 27xx's table width Aerospace manufacturers machining broad structural panels and wing skins with 5-axis contours Large injection mold shops producing wide mold halves for automotive and appliance parts Energy sector operations cutting wide turbine casings and diaphragms Shops that need both 6-meter length and over 2.2 meters of table width

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the DCM 3260 U compare to the DCM 2760 U?

The DCM 3260 U provides 500 mm more table width (2,700 vs 2,200 mm), 500 mm more Y-travel (3,700 vs 3,200 mm), and 9,000 kg more table capacity (39,000 vs 30,000 kg). X and Z travel are identical. The 3260 U weighs 15,000 kg more (91,000 vs 76,000 kg). Choose the 3260 U when your parts need the wider table. If 2,200 mm table width is sufficient, the 2760 U saves money and floor space.

02 What's the advantage of the DCM 32xx wider column spacing?

The wider columns allow a broader table (2,700 mm vs 2,200 mm) and more Y-travel (3,700 mm vs 3,200 mm). This isn't just about numbers — it changes which parts physically fit on the machine. Wide automotive dies and broad aerospace panels that overhang a 2,200 mm table clamp safely within the 2,700 mm surface.

03 Is 39,000 kg table capacity enough for most applications?

For parts that fit within the 6,100 x 2,700 mm table, 39,000 kg is typically more than adequate. A solid steel block filling that entire table surface would weigh far less than 39 tons. The capacity provides comfortable margins for the heaviest die blocks and castings you'd put on a table this size.

04 What surface finishes are achievable?

With DSQ I/II/III functions active, proper tooling, and optimized parameters, Ra 0.4-0.8 um finishes are standard on die/mold surfaces. The 91,000 kg machine mass contributes to vibration-free cutting, and the universal head cooling system prevents thermal drift during finishing passes.
