Overview
The DN Solutions DCM 4280 U is the widest 5-axis double-column machine in DN Solutions' entire portfolio. With 8,250 mm of X-travel, 5,000 mm of Y-travel, 1,000 mm of Z-travel, and 1,400 mm of W-axis crossrail movement, it provides an 8,100 x 3,500 mm table surface that supports 45,000 kg. If you need to machine the widest possible workpieces on an 8-meter-class 5-axis platform, this is the machine.
The 5,000 mm Y-travel and 3,500 mm table width are the defining specs. That's 800 mm more Y-travel and 300 mm more table width than even the DCM 3780 U. At this point you're accommodating workpieces that virtually no other 5-axis machine can handle in a single clamping — think complete automotive die assemblies, wide marine propulsion components, and the largest power generation parts.
The spindle and head system run the DCM standard: 15,000 RPM, 46 kW, 146 Nm through HSK-A100. The universal head provides 5-axis positioning, and auto-change head attachments deliver the roughing-to-finishing versatility that makes single-setup manufacturing practical on parts this large. DSQ I/II/III functions optimize die/mold surface quality. U-head cooling maintains thermal stability during extended cycles.
Rapid traverse runs 16/18/10/3 m/min on X/Y/Z/W. The 40-tool magazine is standard.
At 130,000 kg (286,601 lb), the DCM 4280 U is the heaviest machine in this analysis. The footprint spans 20,915 x 9,962 x 7,870 mm — over 20 meters long and nearly 10 meters wide. This machine demands a purpose-built facility bay with appropriate foundation, crane capacity, and utility infrastructure.
The DCM 4280 U serves a very specific niche: operations that need 8-meter X-travel with the absolute widest table DN Solutions offers. If you don't need the full 3,500 mm table width, the DCM 3780 U or 2780 U provides the same X-travel at lower cost and complexity.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,500 mm table width is the widest in DN Solutions' entire 5-axis lineup
- 5,000 mm Y-travel provides the greatest cross-axis reach of any DCM model
- 8,250 mm X-travel with 1,400 mm W-axis covers the largest workpieces in every dimension
- 130,000 kg machine mass delivers the ultimate in vibration damping and cutting stability
- 45,000 kg table capacity for the heaviest industrial components
- Full 5-axis with auto-change heads and DSQ optimization on the widest platform available
Limitations
- 130,000 kg weight — 130 tons — requires the most substantial foundation of any machine in the lineup
- 20+ meter length and 10-meter width demand a purpose-built facility bay
- 40-tool magazine is very limited relative to the massive working envelope
- 10 m/min Z-axis and 3 m/min W-axis rapids are the slowest in the DCM family
- $3.5-5M investment plus major installation costs — the most expensive DCM option at 8m X-travel

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The DCM 4280 U adds 600 mm of Y-travel (5,000 vs 4,400 mm) and 300 mm of table width (3,500 vs 3,200 mm). X, Z, and W travel are identical. The machine weighs 13,000 kg more and is about 1.2 meters longer. The price premium is $500K-$800K. This is justified only when your parts genuinely need the wider table — most 8-meter parts fit on the 3780 U's 3,200 mm table.
02
The DCM 4280 U is the widest, but the DCM 37100 U has more X-travel at 10,250 mm. DN Solutions can also build custom configurations beyond the standard catalog. For the absolute largest requirements, contact DN Solutions directly to discuss your specific application. Custom-engineered solutions may exceed the published specifications.
03
Machines in the 130-ton, 20-meter class are installed in perhaps a few hundred facilities globally — primarily Tier 1 automotive die shops, major aerospace primes, nuclear equipment manufacturers, and government defense contractors. These machines are capital assets that define a shop's capability for decades.
04
The machine itself costs $3.5-5M. Add $150,000-$300,000 for foundation engineering and construction, $50,000-$150,000 for rigging and installation, $20,000-$50,000 for utility connections, and ongoing costs for training and commissioning. Total project investment typically lands at $4-6M. These costs vary significantly by location, soil conditions, and existing facility infrastructure.
