Overview

The DN Solutions DCM 3280 F II is where DN's heavy double-column range reaches a 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) table load. The table is 8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in), X travel is 8,250 mm (325 in), Y is 3,700 mm (146 in) and Z is 700 mm (28 in). Machine weight is 94,000 kg (207,235 lb).

That load figure is worth dwelling on, because the two larger eight-metre machines do not exceed it. The DCM 3780 F II and the DCM 4280 F II are both rated at 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) as well. What they add is width and height: the DCM 3780 F II has 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y and 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z at 112,000 kg (246,918 lb), and the DCM 4280 F II has 5,000 mm (197 in) of Y at 130,000 kg (286,601 lb). A buyer who needs the weight capacity but not that envelope can stop at the DCM 3280 F II.

It is also the largest machine in the group that keeps the faster crosswise rapid. Y moves at 20 m/min (787 ipm) here, while the DCM 3780 F II is listed at 18 m/min (709 ipm). X is 16 m/min (630 ipm) and Z is 15 m/min (591 ipm). On the other side, the DCM 2780 F II is narrower, with 3,200 mm (126 in) of Y and an 8,100 × 2,200 mm (319 × 87 in) table rated at 40,000 kg (88,185 lb).

Height is the limit to watch. The ram stroke is 700 mm (28 in) and the spindle nose can be 1,650 mm (65 in) from the table, figures that favour plates, frames and low housings over tall box-shaped parts. The listed footprint is 19,710 × 8,230 mm (776 × 324 in) and the machine is 6,700 mm (264 in) high. As with the other F II models, DN's table carries no spindle speed, power, torque or taper.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

45,000 kg (99,208 lb) table load, the same rating as the larger DCM 3780 F II and DCM 4280 F II
8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in) table inside 8,250 mm (325 in) of X and 3,700 mm (146 in) of Y
Y rapid of 20 m/min (787 ipm), against 18 m/min (709 ipm) on the DCM 3780 F II
94,000 kg (207,235 lb), well under the 112,000 kg (246,918 lb) of the DCM 3780 F II
Easy pattern cycles and auto-change head attachments are part of DN's series description

Limitations

Z travel of 700 mm (28 in) and 1,650 mm (65 in) of nose-to-table height; the DCM 3780 F II has 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z
Y travel stops at 3,700 mm (146 in), short of the 4,400 mm (173 in) of the DCM 3780 F II
No spindle rows in DN's table for this model
Footprint of 19,710 × 8,230 mm (776 × 324 in) with 94,000 kg (207,235 lb) on the foundation before any workpiece

Best For

Plates, frames and low housings up to 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) Long workpieces that need the full 8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in) table Work that needs more width than the DCM 2780 F II but not the height of the DCM 3780 F II

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the table load of the DCM 3280 F II?

45,000 kg (99,208 lb), on a table of 8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in). The narrower DCM 2780 F II is rated at 40,000 kg (88,185 lb). The wider DCM 3780 F II and DCM 4280 F II are listed at the same 45,000 kg (99,208 lb), so going larger buys envelope, not load.

02 When is the DCM 3780 F II a better choice than the DCM 3280 F II?

When the part is taller or wider than the DCM 3280 F II allows. The DCM 3780 F II has 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y, 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z and an 8,100 × 3,200 mm (319 × 126 in) table, against 3,700 mm (146 in), 700 mm (28 in) and 8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in). The DCM 3780 F II weighs 112,000 kg (246,918 lb) and its Y rapid is 18 m/min (709 ipm).

03 What are the rapid traverse rates of the DCM 3280 F II?

16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Y and 15 m/min (591 ipm) in Z. With 8,250 mm (325 in) of X travel, program the operation order to keep end-to-end moves to a minimum, since X is the slower of the two horizontal axes.

04 Does the DCM 3280 U share the table of the DCM 3280 F II?

Yes. The DCM 3280 U is listed with the same 8,100 × 2,700 mm (319 × 106 in) table and 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) load, plus 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z, a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle with 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) and a weight of 99,000 kg (218,258 lb). The DCM 3280 F II weighs 94,000 kg (207,235 lb) and has 700 mm (28 in) of Z.
