How much does the DN Solutions DNM 4500 L cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DN Solutions DNM 4500 L is the long-X model of the DNM 4500 vertical machining center: 910 mm (36 in) of X travel on a 1,050 × 450 mm (41 × 18 in) table, with 450 mm (18 in) of Y and 510 mm (20 in) of Z. Its ISO 40 spindle is listed at 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 117.8 N·m (87 ft-lb).
DN lists two machines with this envelope, and telling them apart is the first job. The DNM 4500 L 4TH has the same travels, table, 600 kg (1,323 lb) load and 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) weight, but its rapids are 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) on X and Y and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on Z. The DNM 4500 L is listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on Z. On work made of many short moves, that gap adds up over a shift.
There is a second difference in the tables. The one for the DNM 4500 L has no maximum spindle speed row. The DNM 4500 L 4TH lists 8,000 rpm with the same power and torque, but that is the sibling's figure. Ask DN for the speed of the spindle on the machine being quoted.
Compared with the DNM 4500 4TH, which has 800 mm (32 in) of X and an 800 × 450 mm (32 × 18 in) table, the longer bed takes an extra vise or a longer part without moving up to a wider and heavier frame. The table is longer than the travel, so its ends serve as clamp space.
The spindle is direct-coupled and grease lubrication for the axis roller guideways is standard. DN lists 2,158 × 2,701 × 2,985 mm (85 × 106 × 118 in) for the machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 910 mm (36 in) of X travel, against 800 mm (32 in) on the DNM 4500 4TH, with the same 450 mm (18 in) of Y
- 1,050 × 450 mm (41 × 18 in) table with a 600 kg (1,323 lb) load rating
- ISO 40 direct-coupled spindle listed at 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 117.8 N·m (87 ft-lb)
- Grease lubrication for the axis roller guideways comes as standard
- 510 mm (20 in) of Z above a 450 mm (18 in) deep table leaves room for vises and fixtures under long parts
Limitations
- Rapids of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on Z trail the 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) of the DNM 4500 L 4TH
- DN's table for this model has no maximum spindle speed
- Y stays at 450 mm (18 in); the DNM 5700 4TH has 570 mm (22 in)
- Table load is 600 kg (1,323 lb), no higher than the shorter DNM 4500 4TH

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Rapid traverse, as far as the tables show. The DNM 4500 L 4TH lists 42 m/min (1,654 ipm) on X and Y and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on Z, and an 8,000 rpm spindle. The DNM 4500 L lists 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) and no spindle speed. Travels, table, table load, power, torque and weight are identical.
02
DN's table for the DNM 4500 L does not state one. It gives 18.5 kW (25 hp), 117.8 N·m (87 ft-lb) and an ISO 40 taper. Get the speed in writing from DN, because it decides which cutters and materials the machine handles well.
03
The DNM 4500 4TH has 800 mm (32 in) of X travel and an 800 × 450 mm (32 × 18 in) table at 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). The DNM 4500 L has 910 mm (36 in) of X travel and a 1,050 × 450 mm (41 × 18 in) table at 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). Y and Z are the same.
04
The working envelope is 910 × 450 × 510 mm (36 × 18 × 20 in). The table is 1,050 × 450 mm (41 × 18 in) and carries 600 kg (1,323 lb), a figure that includes vises and fixtures.
05
DN lists 2,158 × 2,701 × 2,985 mm (85 × 106 × 118 in) as length, width and height. The machine weighs 5,500 kg (12,125 lb), so check the floor loading and the route into the building for that weight.
