Overview

The DN Solutions DEM 4000 is a compact ISO #40 vertical machining center with 550 × 400 × 450 mm (22 × 16 × 18 in) of travel, an 8,000 rpm spindle and a 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table. It weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb), a little less than the 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) DNM 4000 that has the same table size.

The spindle figures say what the machine is for. DN lists 5.5/7.5 kW and 47.7 N·m (35 ft-lb) of torque. That covers drilling, tapping, light milling and finishing with small and medium tools, and it rules out heavy roughing with large face mills. The DNM 4000 carries the same 400 kg (882 lb) on its table but lists 117 N·m (86 ft-lb) and 12,000 rpm, so a shop that expects to push metal removal should look there instead.

Rapid traverse is 24 m/min (945 ipm), half the 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) of the DNM 4000. On short-cycle parts with many positioning moves the gap shows up in the cycle time. On longer cuts it matters little.

The table is 650 mm long against 550 mm of X travel, so the spindle does not reach its outer ends and fixtures should be laid out inside the travel. DN offers two magazine types: 20 tools with an arm-type changer or 16 tools with an armless one. The machine occupies 1,875 × 2,200 mm (74 × 87 in) of floor and stands 2,317 mm (91 in) high, small enough for a cell or a tight bay.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Small installation: 1,875 × 2,200 × 2,317 mm (74 × 87 × 91 in) and 3,100 kg (6,834 lb)
ISO #40 spindle running to 8,000 rpm, so tool holders are shared with larger machines of the same taper
650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table rated for 400 kg (882 lb), the same table figures as the DNM 4000
Choice of magazine: 20 tools with an arm-type changer or 16 tools armless
450 mm (18 in) of Z over a 400 mm (16 in) Y leaves room for a vise, the part and a drill

Limitations

Spindle torque is 47.7 N·m (35 ft-lb), well under half the 117 N·m (86 ft-lb) of the DNM 4000
Spindle power is listed as 5.5/7.5 kW, which limits depth of cut and face-mill diameter in steel
Rapids of 24 m/min (945 ipm) are half the 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) of the DNM 4000
8,000 rpm caps the surface speed of small cutters in aluminium
The armless magazine holds 16 tools, which is tight for parts that need many drills and taps

Best For

Drilling, tapping and light milling on small parts Second-operation work within 550 × 400 × 450 mm (22 × 16 × 18 in) Toolroom and training use where 8,000 rpm and ISO #40 tooling are enough Tight floor plans with 1,875 × 2,200 mm (74 × 87 in) available

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the DEM 4000 have?

An ISO #40 spindle with a maximum speed of 8,000 rpm. DN lists its power as 5.5/7.5 kW and its torque as 47.7 N·m (35 ft-lb). Those are light-duty figures for a machine of this taper, suited to drilling, tapping and moderate milling.

02 How does the DEM 4000 compare with the DNM 4000?

Both have a 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table rated for 400 kg (882 lb). The DNM 4000 lists 12,000 rpm, 117 N·m (86 ft-lb) and 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) rapids at 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). The DEM 4000 lists 8,000 rpm, 47.7 N·m (35 ft-lb) and 24 m/min (945 ipm) at 3,100 kg (6,834 lb), with 550 mm (22 in) of X where the DNM 4000 has 520 mm (20 in).

03 How many tools does the DEM 4000 hold?

It depends on the magazine chosen. DN lists two types: an arm-type changer with 20 tools and an armless magazine with 16 tools. Decide when ordering, because the count sets how many jobs can stay loaded between setups.

04 What size parts fit on the DEM 4000?

Travels are 550 mm (22 in) in X, 400 mm (16 in) in Y and 450 mm (18 in) in Z. The table is 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) and takes 400 kg (882 lb), counting the vise or fixture as well as the part.

05 How much floor space does the DEM 4000 need?

DN lists 1,875 × 2,200 × 2,317 mm (74 × 87 × 91 in) as length, width and height, with a machine weight of 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). Add room for the operator, door swing and chip removal around those dimensions.
