How much does the DN Solutions DCM 37100 U cost?
Estimated price range
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 37100 U is a double-column 5-axis machining center at the far end of the size range: 10,250 mm (404 in) of X travel, 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y and 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z over a 10,100 × 3,200 mm (398 × 126 in) table rated for 45,000 kg (99,208 lb). The machine weighs 125,000 kg (275,578 lb) and DN lists its outline as 24,380 × 9,660 × 7,870 mm (960 × 380 × 310 in), the last figure being height. Foundation, crane capacity and roof clearance are settled long before the first part is clamped.
Among the U models it is the long-bed counterpart of the DCM 3780 U. Both have 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y, but the DCM 3780 U stops at 8,250 mm (325 in) of X on an 8,100 × 3,200 mm (319 × 126 in) table and weighs 117,000 kg (257,941 lb). The table load rating does not rise with the longer bed; it is 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) on both. A shop that needs width instead of length should look at the DCM 4280 U, which has 5,000 mm (197 in) of Y on 8,250 mm (325 in) of X.
The spindle is an HSK-A100 unit that runs to 15,000 rpm with 46/34 kW (62/46 hp) and 146 N·m (108 ft-lb). For a machine of this mass that is a fast, low-torque spindle. It suits finishing and semi-finishing of large moulds, dies and light-alloy structures with small and medium cutters, and it is the wrong tool for slow, heavy face milling in steel. DN's description of the series mentions a range of ram-type spindles and automatically changed head attachments, so establish which heads are part of the machine you are offered.
Rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) on X, 18 m/min (709 ipm) on Y and 10 m/min (394 ipm) on Z, with a W axis listed at 3 m/min (118 ipm). The distance from spindle nose to table is 1,610 mm (63 in), which bounds the height of part plus fixture. The magazine holds 40 tools.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10,250 mm (404 in) of X and 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y travel over a 10,100 × 3,200 mm (398 × 126 in) table
- Table load of 45,000 kg (99,208 lb), the same rating as the shorter DCM 3780 U
- 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle with 46/34 kW (62/46 hp) for high-speed finishing on very large parts
- 1,610 mm (63 in) from spindle nose to table leaves room for tall workpieces and fixtures
- DN's series description lists automatically changed head attachments and a range of ram-type spindles
Limitations
- Spindle torque is 146 N·m (108 ft-lb), so slow, heavy roughing with large cutters is not what this spindle is built for
- Z rapid is 10 m/min (394 ipm), against 15 m/min (591 ipm) on the DCM 37100 F II
- Needs a building that takes a 24,380 × 9,660 mm (960 × 380 in) plan and 7,870 mm (310 in) of height, plus handling for a 125,000 kg (275,578 lb) machine
- A 40-tool magazine is modest for long unattended programs on parts of this size

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is 10,100 × 3,200 mm (398 × 126 in) and carries up to 45,000 kg (99,208 lb). Axis travels are 10,250 mm (404 in) in X, 4,400 mm (173 in) in Y and 1,000 mm (39 in) in Z, and DN lists 1,610 mm (63 in) from spindle nose to table. Part height plus fixture height has to fit inside that last figure with room left for the tool.
02
In length. The DCM 37100 U has 10,250 mm (404 in) of X travel and a 10,100 × 3,200 mm (398 × 126 in) table, while the DCM 3780 U has 8,250 mm (325 in) of X and an 8,100 × 3,200 mm (319 × 126 in) table. Y and Z travel, the rapids, the 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle, the 40-tool magazine and the 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) table load are the same on both, and the DCM 37100 U weighs 125,000 kg (275,578 lb) against 117,000 kg (257,941 lb) for the DCM 3780 U.
03
High-speed work with moderate tool sizes. The spindle is HSK-A100, runs to 15,000 rpm and is rated 46/34 kW (62/46 hp) with 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) of torque. That favours finishing and semi-finishing passes on moulds, dies and light alloys. Roughing steel with large-diameter cutters at low speed asks for more torque than the table lists.
04
The travels listed for the two are identical: 10,250 mm (404 in), 4,400 mm (173 in) and 1,000 mm (39 in), with the same 16 m/min (630 ipm) X and 18 m/min (709 ipm) Y rapids. The DCM 37100 F II lists a 15 m/min (591 ipm) Z rapid against 10 m/min (394 ipm) on the DCM 37100 U, and weighs 120,000 kg (264,555 lb) against 125,000 kg (275,578 lb).
05
DN lists the machine at 24,380 mm (960 in) long, 9,660 mm (380 in) wide and 7,870 mm (310 in) high, and at 125,000 kg (275,578 lb). Those are the machine's own figures. Access for loading a 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) workpiece, chip handling and the foundation all come on top, so plan the building and crane from DN's installation drawings and not from the outline alone.
