Overview
The DN Solutions DCM 3780 U slots between the DCM 3280 U and DCM 37100 U, offering 8,250 mm of X-travel with the wider 37xx column spacing for a 8,100 x 3,200 mm table. With 4,400 mm of Y-travel, 1,000 mm Z, 1,400 mm W, and 45,000 kg table capacity, it provides the 37xx's wider envelope at the 8-meter X-travel length.
The wider column spacing gives the DCM 3780 U a 3,200 mm table width — 500 mm more than the DCM 3280 U (2,700 mm). That extra width accommodates the broadest automotive dies, wide aerospace panels, and oversized mold halves. The 1,400 mm W-axis crossrail travel (300 mm more than the 32xx series) gives over 2,400 mm of total vertical reach.
The spindle delivers the DCM standard: 15,000 RPM, 46 kW, 146 Nm through HSK-A100. The universal head provides 5-axis positioning, with auto-change head attachments for roughing-to-finishing versatility. DSQ I/II/III functions optimize die/mold surface quality. U-head cooling maintains thermal stability.
Rapid traverse runs 16/18/10/3 m/min on X/Y/Z/W — the same as the DCM 37100 U, with slightly slower Y and Z rates compared to the 27xx and 32xx models. The 40-tool magazine is standard.
At 117,000 kg (257,940 lb), the DCM 3780 U is a 117-ton machine spanning 19,710 x 9,660 x 7,870 mm. It's 18,000 kg heavier than the DCM 3280 U despite having the same X-travel, reflecting the wider column structure and more massive crossrail. Foundation and installation requirements are proportionally more demanding.
This machine targets operations that need the 8-meter X-travel of the DCM 2780/3280 U with the wider table and greater W-axis reach of the 37xx platform.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,200 mm table width handles the broadest workpieces at 8-meter X-travel
- 4,400 mm Y-travel provides generous cross-axis reach for wide parts
- 1,400 mm W-axis gives the most vertical reach in any 8-meter DCM configuration
- 45,000 kg table capacity accommodates the heaviest parts at this envelope size
- 117,000 kg machine mass delivers exceptional vibration damping
- Full 5-axis with auto-change heads and DSQ optimization for die/mold work
Limitations
- 117,000 kg weight and nearly 10-meter width require extensive facility modifications
- 18,000 kg heavier than the DCM 3280 U for the same X-travel — significant extra foundation cost
- 10 m/min Z-axis rapid is slower than the smaller DCM models
- 40-tool magazine constrains complex multi-tool programs
- Investment of $3-4.2M targets only the largest industrial operations

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The DCM 3780 U provides 500 mm more table width (3,200 vs 2,700 mm), 700 mm more Y-travel (4,400 vs 3,700 mm), and 300 mm more W-axis (1,400 vs 1,100 mm). X-travel is identical at 8,250 mm. The 3780 U weighs 18,000 kg more and is about 1.4 meters wider. Choose it when your parts need the wider table or the extra W-axis reach. If not, the 3280 U saves significant capital and floor space.
02
The DCM 37100 U adds 2,000 mm of X-travel (10,250 vs 8,250 mm) at the same Y, Z, W travel and table width. It weighs 8,000 kg more and is about 5 meters longer. The 37100 U costs $500K-$800K more. If your parts fit within 8 meters, the 3780 U provides the same width and W-axis capability at lower cost.
03
With 1,000 mm Z-travel and 1,400 mm W-axis, you have over 2,400 mm of total vertical positioning range. The maximum part height depends on the spindle head clearance above the table at minimum W position. Consult DN Solutions for the exact spindle-nose-to-table distance at each W position. For most parts, the 2,400 mm combined travel covers any practical requirement.
04
Beyond a reinforced foundation, you'll need 7,870 mm minimum ceiling height, heavy crane access for installation and maintenance, adequate power supply for the machine and supporting systems, cooling water infrastructure, and compressed air. The 9,660 mm machine width means you'll need a bay significantly wider than the machine to allow access on both sides.
