Overview
The DN Solutions DCM 37100 U is among the largest 5-axis double-column machines DN Solutions offers, with a staggering 10,250 mm of X-travel, 4,400 mm of Y-travel, 1,000 mm of Z-travel, and 1,400 mm of W-axis crossrail movement. The 10,100 x 3,200 mm table supports 45,000 kg (99,208 lb). This is a machine for workpieces that most builders can't accommodate.
Ten meters of X-travel puts this machine in rare company. The DCM 37100 U handles complete automotive die line sets, full-length aerospace wing spars, and the largest energy sector components without breaking the workpiece into sections. The 4,400 mm Y-travel and 3,200 mm table width provide the cross-axis coverage these oversized parts demand.
The W-axis steps up to 1,400 mm of crossrail travel (300 mm more than the 27xx and 32xx series), providing over 2,400 mm of total vertical reach when combined with the Z-axis. This extra W-travel matters on the tallest workpieces that sit on a 10-meter table.
The spindle delivers the DCM standard 15,000 RPM, 46 kW, 146 Nm through HSK-A100 with a universal head for 5-axis positioning. Auto-change head attachments, DSQ I/II/III functions, and U-head cooling are included. Rapid traverse runs 16/18/10/3 m/min on X/Y/Z/W — slightly slower Y and Z rapids than the smaller DCM models, reflecting the greater mass and inertia at this scale.
At 125,000 kg (275,578 lb), the DCM 37100 U is a 125-ton machine spanning 24,380 x 9,660 x 7,870 mm. That's nearly 25 meters long and almost 10 meters wide. Installation is a months-long project involving specialized foundation engineering, heavy rigging, and extensive commissioning. The 40-tool magazine is standard.
This machine targets the handful of operations worldwide that regularly machine parts in the 8-10 meter range with 5-axis requirements.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10,250 mm X-travel is among the largest available in a 5-axis double-column platform
- 3,200 mm table width and 4,400 mm Y-travel accommodate the widest and longest workpieces
- 1,400 mm W-axis crossrail provides the most vertical reach in the DCM lineup
- 45,000 kg table capacity supports extremely heavy workpieces
- 125,000 kg machine mass delivers exceptional vibration damping at this scale
- Full 5-axis capability with auto-change heads and DSQ optimization on a 10-meter platform
Limitations
- 125,000 kg weight requires the most extensive foundation engineering in the DCM range
- 25-meter length demands a purpose-built facility or dedicated machine bay
- 40-tool magazine is very limited for complex programs spanning 10 meters
- 10 m/min Z-axis rapid is slower than smaller DCM models
- Investment of $3.5-5M plus substantial installation costs — one of the most expensive machines in the lineup

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The DCM 37100 U adds 2,000 mm of X-travel (10,250 vs 8,250 mm), 700 mm more Y-travel (4,400 vs 3,700 mm), a wider table (3,200 vs 2,700 mm), and 300 mm more W-axis travel (1,400 vs 1,100 mm). The machine weighs 26,000 kg more (125,000 vs 99,000 kg) and is about 5 meters longer. This is a significant step up that's justified only when your parts genuinely exceed the 3280 U's envelope.
02
Very few. The DCM 37100 U targets large automotive OEM tool shops, major aerospace primes, nuclear equipment manufacturers, and specialized heavy industry operations. These are typically organizations with hundreds of millions in revenue that machine parts measured in meters. If you're asking this question, you likely already know whether your operation needs this capability.
03
At 10 meters of 5-axis travel, you're looking at Waldrich Coburg (Germany), Parpas (Italy), SNK/Shin Nippon Koki (Japan), FPT Industrie (Italy), and Soraluce/Danobat (Spain). These are all premium builders with limited production volumes. DN Solutions competes on price-to-capability ratio, typically offering 10-30% savings over European alternatives.
04
Budget 18-30 months from order to production. Foundation design and construction alone can take 3-6 months. Machine manufacturing is typically 9-15 months. Shipping, assembly, and commissioning add another 3-6 months. The entire process requires coordination between DN Solutions, foundation engineers, rigging companies, and your facility team.
