Overview

Five metres of cross travel set the DN Solutions DCM 4280 F II apart: Y is 5,000 mm (197 in), over a table of 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in). X travel is 8,250 mm (325 in), Z is 1,000 mm (39 in), and the machine weighs 130,000 kg (286,601 lb).

Nothing about this model is bought for load alone. Its table is rated for 45,000 kg (99,208 lb), a figure the DCM 3280 F II already reaches at 94,000 kg (207,235 lb) of machine weight. The DCM 4280 F II exists for parts that are physically too wide for anything smaller. The DCM 3780 F II, one step down, has 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y and an 8,100 × 3,200 mm (319 × 126 in) table; both share 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z and the same rapids.

Those rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, 18 m/min (709 ipm) in Y and 15 m/min (591 ipm) in Z. Spindle nose to table is 2,350 mm (93 in), so tall weldments and housings fit, and Y travel beyond the 3,500 mm (138 in) table width gives head attachments room to work the sides. DN's series description lists auto-change head attachments, a range of ram-type spindles and DSQ I/II/III functions. It gives no spindle speed, power, torque or taper for this model.

Site preparation is a project of its own. The listed dimensions are 20,915 mm (823 in) long, 9,962 mm (392 in) wide and 7,870 mm (310 in) high, taller and longer than the DCM 3780 F II. Foundation design has to carry 130,000 kg (286,601 lb) of machine and up to 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) of work. The DCM 4280 U is listed at the same weight and table, with a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle and a slower Z rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

5,000 mm (197 in) of Y travel, against 4,400 mm (173 in) on the DCM 3780 F II
8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table rated for 45,000 kg (99,208 lb)
2,350 mm (93 in) from spindle nose to table with 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z travel
Z rapid of 15 m/min (591 ipm), faster than the 10 m/min (394 ipm) listed for the DCM 4280 U

Limitations

At 130,000 kg (286,601 lb) it is far heavier than the 112,000 kg (246,918 lb) DCM 3780 F II for the same table load
Table load of 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) is no greater than on the much lighter DCM 3280 F II
Listed size of 20,915 × 9,962 × 7,870 mm (823 × 392 × 310 in) needs a tall, wide bay
DN's table states no spindle data for this model

Best For

Very wide plates, frames and bases up to 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) Parts that need the full 5,000 mm (197 in) of Y travel Tall fabrications under 2,350 mm (93 in) of spindle-nose height Wide work weighing up to 45,000 kg (99,208 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How wide a workpiece does the DCM 4280 F II accept?

The table is 3,500 mm (138 in) wide and 8,100 mm (319 in) long, and Y travel is 5,000 mm (197 in). X travel is 8,250 mm (325 in). The spindle covers the whole table in both directions, with Y travel left over on each side for head attachments.

02 Why choose the DCM 4280 F II over the DCM 3780 F II?

Only for width. The DCM 4280 F II has 5,000 mm (197 in) of Y and an 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table; the DCM 3780 F II has 4,400 mm (173 in) and 8,100 × 3,200 mm (319 × 126 in). X, Z, rapids and the 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) table load are identical, while machine weight goes from 112,000 kg (246,918 lb) on the DCM 3780 F II to 130,000 kg (286,601 lb).

03 How much does the DCM 4280 F II weigh and how big is it?

Machine weight is 130,000 kg (286,601 lb). DN lists its length, width and height as 20,915 × 9,962 × 7,870 mm (823 × 392 × 310 in). Crane capacity for installation, roof height and the foundation need to be engineered around those figures, plus up to 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) on the table.

04 What is the difference between the DCM 4280 F II and the DCM 4280 U?

Both are listed with the same travels, an 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table, 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) of load and 130,000 kg (286,601 lb) of machine weight. The DCM 4280 U has a 15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle with 146 N·m (108 ft-lb), 40 tools and a Z rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm). The DCM 4280 F II has a 15 m/min (591 ipm) Z rapid, and its spindle is not specified in DN's table.
