Overview
The DN Solutions DNC 8050 is a grinding machine for ceramic and quartz parts, laid out like a turning centre: the workpiece is chucked and rotated on a main spindle while a separate grinding spindle carries the wheel. DN Solutions lists a maximum turning diameter of 810 mm (32 in), 550 mm (22 in) of travel on both X and Z, a main spindle that tops out at 500 rpm and a grinding spindle that reaches 10,000 rpm on a BT40 shank.
Those two speeds describe the process. A large ring or disc of brittle material is turned slowly, and 500 rpm is a low ceiling by lathe standards, while the cutting speed comes from the wheel. Main spindle power is printed as a pair, 14.1 / 6.3 kW (18.9 / 8.4 hp), and the table does not say which rating is short-time and which is continuous. BT40 is a common machining-centre shank, so diamond wheels and core tools mount on ordinary arbors and holders.
The square stroke is what sets this model apart from the DNC 8060. Diameter capacity, X travel and rapid rates match, but the DNC 8060 has 650 mm (26 in) of Z where this machine has 550 mm (22 in). The DNC 8050 is also the heavier of the pair at 3,500 kg (7,716 lb), against 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) for the DNC 8060.
Its outline is unusual for a machine of this capacity. DN gives 2,370 × 2,043 × 2,900 mm (93 × 80 × 114 in) as length, width and height, so the machine stands taller than it is long. That keeps the floor area small, and it makes the 2,900 mm (114 in) height the dimension to check first against doors, mezzanines and overhead services. Rapid traverse is 10 m/min (394 ipm) on X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) on Z.
The table stops there. It gives no grinding spindle power, no control, no wheel or tool storage and no coolant or filtration data, and each of those matters when the swarf is abrasive ceramic dust.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Accepts work up to 810 mm (32 in) in diameter, enough for large quartz and ceramic rings and discs
- Grinding spindle runs to 10,000 rpm on a BT40 shank, a common taper for wheel arbors and diamond tools
- Main spindle power is listed at 14.1 / 6.3 kW (18.9 / 8.4 hp) with a 500 rpm top speed chosen for large-diameter work
- Floor outline of 2,370 × 2,043 mm (93 × 80 in) is small for an 810 mm (32 in) capacity
- Z rapid traverse of 20 m/min (787 ipm), twice the 10 m/min (394 ipm) of the X axis
Limitations
- Z travel is 550 mm (22 in); the DNC 8060 offers 650 mm (26 in) on the same 810 mm (32 in) diameter
- At 2,900 mm (114 in) the machine is taller than it is long, which can rule out low rooms and standard doorways
- The 500 rpm main spindle limit means small-diameter parts get little surface speed from work rotation
- Grinding spindle power, control, wheel storage and coolant filtration are not stated in DN's table for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
DN Solutions describes it as a ceramic and quartz grinding machine. The figures show a lathe-style arrangement: a chucked workpiece up to 810 mm (32 in) in diameter turning at up to 500 rpm, and a separate grinding spindle with a BT40 shank running at up to 10,000 rpm. The axes travel 550 mm (22 in) in X and 550 mm (22 in) in Z.
02
Mainly in Z travel. The DNC 8060 has 650 mm (26 in) of Z and weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). The DNC 8050 has 550 mm (22 in) of Z and weighs 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). Maximum diameter is 810 mm (32 in) on both, X travel is 550 mm (22 in) on both, and both list rapids of 10 m/min (394 ipm) on X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) on Z.
03
DN Solutions prints 14.1 / 6.3 kW (18.9 / 8.4 hp) without labelling the two ratings. A pair like this usually separates a short-time rating from a continuous one. Since grinding passes on a large ring can run for a long time, ask DN Solutions which figure is the continuous rating before sizing the process.
04
The listed length, width and height are 2,370 × 2,043 × 2,900 mm (93 × 80 × 114 in), and the machine weighs 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). The floor area is modest. The height is the constraint: at 2,900 mm (114 in) the machine is taller than many doorways, so plan the route into the building as well as the final position.
05
Several things a grinding process depends on. The table gives the grinding spindle's 10,000 rpm speed and BT40 shank but not its power. It names no control, no wheel or tool storage, and no coolant or filtration system. Get those in writing with the quotation, because quartz and ceramic swarf is abrasive and coolant handling decides how the machine holds up.
