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 4280 U is the widest machine in its group of double-column 5-axis models: 5,000 mm (197 in) of Y travel, an 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table and a weight of 130,000 kg (286,601 lb). X travel is 8,250 mm (325 in), Z is 1,000 mm (39 in), and the table is rated for 45,000 kg (99,208 lb).

Nothing else DN lists beside it reaches this Y stroke. The DCM 3780 U and the longer DCM 37100 U both stop at 4,400 mm (173 in), with tables 3,200 mm (126 in) wide. What the DCM 4280 U offers over them is a table surface closer to a broad rectangle than a strip, suited to large welded structures, wide tooling plates and parts that have to lie flat because they cannot be stood on edge. The load rating gives a sense of what kind of part that is. 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) is the same figure the DCM 3280 U carries on a table 2,700 mm (106 in) wide, so the bigger surface here is for spread, not for more mass. A workpiece that covers this table and stays inside the rating is a fabrication or a casting with a lot of air in it, not a solid block.

Axis speeds follow the widest models: 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X, 18 m/min (709 ipm) in Y, 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z and 3 m/min (118 ipm) in W. Crossing the full Y stroke at rapid takes noticeably longer than on the DCM 3280 U, which lists 20 m/min (787 ipm) over 3,700 mm (146 in).

One row is missing. DN's table for this model gives a 15,000 rpm maximum speed, 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) of torque, an HSK-A100 taper and 40 tools, but no spindle power. The DCM 3780 U, with the same speed, torque and taper, is listed at 46/34 kw (62/46 hp); confirm the rating for the DCM 4280 U with DN before relying on that.

The outline is 20,915 × 9,962 × 7,870 mm (823 × 392 × 310 in), height last, and spindle nose to table is 1,610 mm (63 in). The DCM 4280 F II is listed at the same travels, table, load and 130,000 kg (286,601 lb) weight, with a 15 m/min (591 ipm) Z rapid.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

5,000 mm (197 in) of Y travel, the most among the models DN lists alongside it; the DCM 3780 U and DCM 37100 U have 4,400 mm (173 in)
8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table for parts that must be machined lying flat
45,000 kg (99,208 lb) table load on a 130,000 kg (286,601 lb) machine
15,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle for finishing large fabricated or cast surfaces in one setup
8,250 mm (325 in) of X and 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z, with 1,610 mm (63 in) between spindle nose and table

Limitations

DN's table lists no spindle power for this model, only 15,000 rpm and 146 N·m (108 ft-lb)
Table load is 45,000 kg (99,208 lb), no higher than on the much narrower DCM 3280 U
Z rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm), where the DCM 4280 F II lists 15 m/min (591 ipm)
The installation measures 20,915 × 9,962 mm (823 × 392 in) in plan and 7,870 mm (310 in) in height
40 tools serve a table of 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in), which is few if several different features are machined in one clamping

Best For

Wide welded structures and frames that need up to 5,000 mm (197 in) of Y Large, relatively light parts: full use of the 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table within 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) Tooling plates and bases too broad for the 3,200 mm (126 in) table width of the DCM 3780 U Five-axis finishing at 15,000 rpm on parts that cannot be re-clamped easily

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How wide a part can the DCM 4280 U take?

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). The Y stroke is larger than the table width, so the spindle can pass beyond both long sides of the table. Whether a part may overhang the table, and how far the columns allow it, is not in DN's table and has to be checked on the layout drawing.

02 What is the spindle power of the DCM 4280 U?

DN's comparison table does not state it for this model. It lists 15,000 rpm, 146 N·m (108 ft-lb) and HSK-A100. The DCM 3780 U and DCM 3280 U show the same three values together with 46/34 kw (62/46 hp), which suggests the same spindle, but that is an inference and DN should confirm it.

03 How does the DCM 4280 U compare with the DCM 3780 U?

The DCM 4280 U has 5,000 mm (197 in) of Y travel and an 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table, where the DCM 3780 U has 4,400 mm (173 in) and 8,100 × 3,200 mm (319 × 126 in). X and Z travel, the X, Y and Z rapids, spindle speed, torque, taper, tool capacity and the 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) table load match. The DCM 4280 U weighs 130,000 kg (286,601 lb), the DCM 3780 U 117,000 kg (257,941 lb).

04 Does the DCM 4280 F II differ from the DCM 4280 U in size?

Not in the rows DN publishes for both. Travels of 8,250 mm (325 in), 5,000 mm (197 in) and 1,000 mm (39 in), the 8,100 × 3,500 mm (319 × 138 in) table, the 45,000 kg (99,208 lb) load and the 130,000 kg (286,601 lb) weight are the same. The Z rapid is 15 m/min (591 ipm) on the DCM 4280 F II and 10 m/min (394 ipm) on the DCM 4280 U.

05 Which should I pick for a long part, the DCM 4280 U or the DCM 37100 U?

The DCM 37100 U if length decides: it has 10,250 mm (404 in) of X and a 10,100 × 3,200 mm (398 × 126 in) table, with 4,400 mm (173 in) of Y, and weighs 125,000 kg (275,578 lb). The DCM 4280 U has 8,250 mm (325 in) of X and the wider 5,000 mm (197 in) Y. Both carry 45,000 kg (99,208 lb).
