Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DN Solutions DNC 65 pairs a 3,000 RPM turning spindle with a 10,000 RPM grinding spindle and an automatic tool changer for up to 40 tools. It does not appear in DN Solutions' current lineup and may be an older model, so most readers will meet it as an existing installation or a used machine. The listed capacity is a 12inch chuck and a maximum turning diameter of 810mm, with 400 mm (15.7 in) of X travel and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z.
Two things in its table deserve attention. Both spindles have a power figure: 11 kW (15 hp) on the main spindle and 7.5 kW (10 hp) on the BT40 grinding spindle. And the tool storage and control are named, an ATC with up to 40 tools and a Fanuc 0i-Plus. For a machine that changes between diamond wheels, core drills and form tools in one clamping, the changer is the feature that decides how much of a part is finished unattended.
The main spindle is the clearest difference from the related DNC models. The DNC 8050 is listed at 500 rpm, a sixth of the 3,000 RPM here, which points the DNC 65 at smaller diameters where work rotation has to supply more of the surface speed. Its strokes are shorter as well: the DNC 8050 and DNC 8060 both travel 550 mm (22 in) in X, and the DNC 8060 reaches 650 mm (26 in) in Z.
At 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) it is the lightest of the three. Rapid traverse is 10 m/min (394 in/min) on X and 20 m/min (787 in/min) on Z. No footprint, coolant or filtration data is listed, so a used-machine inspection should cover the coolant system and the condition of the way covers and spindle seals, which take the wear from abrasive swarf.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Automatic tool changer with up to 40 tools, so wheels, core drills and form tools change without operator intervention
- Main spindle runs to 3,000 RPM with 11 kW (15 hp)
- Grinding spindle power is stated: 7.5 kW (10 hp) at up to 10,000 RPM on a BT40 taper
- Fanuc 0i-Plus control is named in the listed figures
- Machine weight of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), below the 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) of the DNC 8050
Limitations
- Not in DN Solutions' current lineup, so the figures cannot be matched to a machine on sale today
- X travel of 400 mm (15.7 in) is short of the 550 mm (22 in) on the DNC 8050 and DNC 8060
- Z travel of 500 mm (19.7 in) limits part and fixture length; the DNC 8060 has 650 mm (26 in)
- No footprint, coolant or filtration figures are listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is not in DN Solutions' current lineup and may be an older model. The related models are the DNC 8050 and DNC 8060, each with 550 mm (22 in) of X travel. Anyone looking at a DNC 65 today is most likely evaluating a used machine, so confirm the figures against the documents of that specific unit.
02
Two. The main spindle carries a 12inch chuck and is listed at 3,000 RPM and 11 kW (15 hp). The grinding spindle has a BT40 taper and is listed at 10,000 RPM and 7.5 kW (10 hp). The main spindle rotates the workpiece and the grinding spindle drives the wheel or diamond tool.
03
The listed figure is an ATC with up to 40 tools. The wording "up to" suggests that 40 is the largest magazine offered and not necessarily what a particular machine was delivered with, so count the pockets on the unit you are inspecting. Tools sit on BT40 shanks to match the grinding spindle.
04
The DNC 65 has the faster main spindle and the smaller envelope. It is listed at 3,000 RPM, 400 mm (15.7 in) of X, 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z and 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The DNC 8050 is listed at 500 rpm, 550 mm (22 in) of X, 550 mm (22 in) of Z and 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). Both show a maximum turning diameter of 810 mm and the same rapid rates.
05
The listed control is a Fanuc 0i-Plus. No screen size, software options or grinding cycles are given in the table, so check the option list on the machine's own control before assuming a specific cycle or probing routine is present.
