Overview

The DN Solutions DNM 4500 is a mid-size vertical machining center of the kind that forms the backbone of general job shop and contract manufacturing work. Travels are 800 mm (31 in) in X, 450 mm (18 in) in Y and 510 mm (20 in) in Z, over a table measuring 1,000 × 450 mm (39 × 18 in) that carries workpieces to 600 kg (1,323 lb).

That table load is the most useful number on the machine. Six hundred kilograms on a table this size allows genuine steel fixturing — a substantial vise set, a dedicated plate fixture, or a multi-part setup along the full table length — rather than confining the machine to light aluminum workholding. Combined with 800 mm of X travel against a 1,000 mm table, it means the whole length can be used for clamping while the cutter covers the working span, which is the layout that makes twin-vise production setups work.

The spindle is where the machine's intent is clearest. It turns to 8,000 r/min with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 117.8 N·m (87 ft-lb). An 8,000 r/min ceiling is low by current VMC standards, and that is a choice rather than a shortfall: the power and torque are concentrated at speeds where steel and cast iron are actually cut. This is a machine specified for roughing and general production in ferrous material, not for high-rpm aluminum finishing, and shops whose work is mostly aluminum at small tool diameters will find the speed limit binding before the power does.

Rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z, which keeps positioning time reasonable across an 800 mm stroke without implying the machine is built for high-feed strategies.

The machine measures 2,158 mm (85 in) long, 2,615 mm (103 in) wide and 2,985 mm (118 in) high, and weighs 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). Five tonnes under a table of this size is respectable mass and is what allows the spindle's torque to be used at depth without chatter dominating the result.

The DNM 4500 suits general machining, subcontract work and medium-batch production across steel, cast iron and stainless.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

600 kg (1,323 lb) maximum workpiece weight on a 1,000 × 450 mm table allows genuine steel fixturing rather than light aluminum workholding only
800 mm (31 in) of X travel against a 1,000 mm table means the full length can be used for clamping while the cutter covers the working span
18.5 kW (25 hp) and 117.8 N·m (87 ft-lb) concentrated at the speeds where steel and cast iron are actually cut
5,000 kg (11,023 lb) of machine mass under a table of this size is what allows the spindle's torque to be used at depth without chatter dominating the result
Rapids of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z keep positioning time reasonable across an 800 mm stroke
510 mm (20 in) of Z travel gives useful clearance for taller fixtures

Limitations

The 8,000 r/min spindle ceiling is low by current VMC standards, and shops whose work is mostly aluminum at small tool diameters will find the speed limit binding before the power does
450 mm (18 in) of Y travel is the tightest axis and constrains fixture width
The machine occupies 2,158 × 2,615 mm and stands 2,985 mm (118 in) tall, so ceiling clearance is worth checking
At 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) it needs rigging and a floor loading check rather than being rolled into place
The spindle is specified for roughing and general production in ferrous material, not for high-rpm finishing

Best For

General machining and subcontract work across steel, cast iron and stainless Medium-batch production where torque at moderate speed matters more than spindle rpm Twin-vise production setups using the full 1,000 mm table length Heavy fixtured parts within the 600 kg (1,323 lb) workpiece allowance Job shops needing a mid-size VMC as a general-purpose workhorse

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the working envelope of the DNM 4500?

Travels are 800 mm (31 in) in X, 450 mm (18 in) in Y and 510 mm (20 in) in Z, over a table measuring 1,000 × 450 mm (39 × 18 in). Maximum workpiece weight is 600 kg (1,323 lb).

02 Why does the table load figure matter so much?

Because 600 kg (1,323 lb) on a table this size allows genuine steel fixturing — a substantial vise set, a dedicated plate fixture, or a multi-part setup along the full table length — rather than confining the machine to light aluminum workholding. Combined with 800 mm of X travel against a 1,000 mm table, it is the layout that makes twin-vise production setups work.

03 Is 8,000 r/min a limitation?

It depends on the work. An 8,000 r/min ceiling is low by current VMC standards, but it is a choice rather than a shortfall: the 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 117.8 N·m (87 ft-lb) are concentrated at the speeds where steel and cast iron are actually cut. Shops whose work is mostly aluminum at small tool diameters will find the speed limit binding before the power does.

04 What materials is the DNM 4500 best suited to?

Steel, cast iron and stainless. The spindle is specified for roughing and general production in ferrous material rather than high-rpm aluminum finishing, and 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) of machine mass is what allows that torque to be used at depth without chatter dominating the result.

05 How much space does the machine need?

It measures 2,158 mm (85 in) long, 2,615 mm (103 in) wide and 2,985 mm (118 in) high, at 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). Ceiling clearance and floor loading are both worth confirming before delivery, since at five tonnes it needs rigging rather than being rolled into position.

06 How fast does the DNM 4500 position?

Rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z. That keeps positioning time reasonable across an 800 mm stroke without implying the machine is built for high-feed strategies — the cutting capability is where the spec sheet puts its emphasis.
