Overview

The DN Solutions DNM 4500 L is the long-bed variant of the DNM 4500, extending the X-axis from 800 mm to 910 mm (36 in) and stretching the table to 1,050 x 450 mm. That extra 110 mm of X-travel doesn't sound dramatic on paper, but it's often the difference between fitting a part on the machine and having to outsource it or use a larger, more expensive VMC. The "L" models exist because DN Solutions figured out that a meaningful percentage of shops are just barely over the line on standard-travel machines.

The spindle delivers 8,000 RPM with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 117.8 Nm of torque through an ISO 40 taper — identical to the standard DNM 4500. Box-way construction carries over as well, providing the rigidity that makes the DNM series effective for heavy steel and cast iron cutting. Y and Z travels remain at 450 mm and 510 mm respectively, so you're getting the extension where it matters most — along the table length.

The 1,050 x 450 mm table with 600 kg load capacity accommodates longer parts, multi-part fixtures, and side-by-side setups that the standard 1,000 x 450 mm table can't quite handle. At 5,500 kg, the DNM 4500 L carries slightly more mass than the standard model, adding to vibration damping during heavy cuts. The FANUC 0i-Plus control is consistent across the entire DNM family. For shops that regularly bump up against the X-travel limit on their current VMC, the DNM 4500 L provides the extra reach without jumping to the significantly larger and more expensive DNM 5700.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

910 mm X-travel bridges the gap between the DNM 4500 and DNM 5700, fitting parts that standard models can't quite reach
1,050 x 450 mm table accommodates longer parts and multi-part fixtures for improved production efficiency
Box-way construction maintains the rigidity advantage that defines the DNM series
Same 25 hp spindle and ISO 40 platform as the standard DNM 4500 — identical cutting performance
5,500 kg mass provides excellent vibration damping for heavy cuts in steel and cast iron
FANUC 0i-Plus control and DNM platform consistency make operator and programmer transitions seamless

Limitations

8,000 RPM spindle speed limits high-speed aluminum work — 12K and 15K options available at additional cost
450 mm Y-travel hasn't changed from the standard model, which may still be limiting for wider parts
5,500 kg weight is heavier than the standard 4500, requiring slightly more floor preparation
Small price premium over the standard DNM 4500 for 110 mm of additional X-travel

Best For

Job shops regularly receiving parts that are just over 800 mm in the X-direction Shops running multi-part fixtures where the extra table length enables one or two additional parts per load Mold shops working on longer mold bases that don't quite fit on a standard DNM 4500 table Production environments where the DNM 4500 L fills the gap between a standard 4500 and the larger, costlier 5700 Facilities upgrading from smaller VMCs that need more X-travel without a major footprint increase

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DN Solutions DNM 4500 L cost?

New DNM 4500 L machines run $75,000-$115,000 depending on spindle option and accessories. The base machine with 8K RPM spindle starts around $75,000-$90,000. Adding the 12K or 15K RPM spindle, through-spindle coolant, and probing pushes pricing to $100,000-$115,000. The premium over a standard DNM 4500 is typically $5,000-$10,000.

02 Should I get the DNM 4500 L or jump to the DNM 5700?

If your parts fit within 910 mm X-travel, the 4500 L saves money and floor space. The DNM 5700 jumps to 1,050 mm X-travel and 570 mm Y-travel (vs 450 mm), with a significantly larger table and heavier load capacity. If you're consistently working near 900 mm parts, the 5700 gives you more breathing room for future growth.

03 Is the DNM 4500 L available with a fourth axis?

Yes. The DNM 4500 L 4TH model comes with an integrated fourth axis from the factory. It combines the extended X-travel with 4-axis capability, making it one of the most versatile configurations in the DNM 4500 family.

04 What's the difference between the DNM 4500 L and DNM 4500 S?

The L extends X-travel to 910 mm with a standard 8K RPM spindle. The S keeps X-travel at 800 mm but upgrades the spindle to 15,000 RPM for high-speed work. Choose the L for longer parts; choose the S for faster spindle speed on parts that fit within 800 mm.
