Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DN Solutions FM 200 5AX LINEAR is a linear-motor 5-axis vertical machining center with a working range of 200 mm (8 in) in X, 340 mm (13 in) in Y and 300 mm (12 in) in Z, a 200 mm (8 in) table and a 42,000 rpm spindle.

The name refers to the drives. DN states that the series is equipped with linear motors and direct-drive motors, carried on a symmetrical gantry structure that uses anti-vibration materials. The usual arrangement is linear motors on the straight axes and direct-drive motors on the rotary ones, though DN's text does not say which sits where. A linear motor moves its axis without a ballscrew, so there is no screw to wind up, heat or wear, and reversals are quick. That counts on a machine like this, because a 5-axis toolpath over a small part is nearly all short moves and changes of direction, and the axes seldom settle at a steady feed.

The weight belongs to the same idea. The machine is listed at 7,000 kg (15,432 lb) while its longest travel is 340 mm (13 in). A heavy frame under light, fast axes is what stops reversals from showing up as marks on the surface. The outline is 2,225 × 1,972 mm (88 × 78 in) on the floor and 2,375 mm (94 in) high.

DN publishes no rapid traverse or acceleration for the model, so the gain from the drives cannot be put in numbers here and should be requested. The spindle is an HSK-E40 unit rated 10 kW (13 hp) and 6.5 N·m (5 ft-lb), a finishing spindle fed by a 24-tool magazine. DN describes the control as a Heidenhain controller with a 19-inch screen.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Linear motors and direct-drive motors, as DN describes the series, with no ballscrews to wear
Symmetrical gantry structure with anti-vibration materials in DN's description
7,000 kg (15,432 lb) of machine behind a longest travel of 340 mm (13 in)
42,000 rpm HSK-E40 spindle rated 10 kW (13 hp)
Heidenhain controller with a 19-inch screen and USB data transfer

Limitations

No rapid traverse or acceleration figure is published, so the linear drives cannot be compared on paper
Spindle torque is 6.5 N·m (5 ft-lb): finishing only, with no reserve for roughing
Travel is 200 mm (8 in) in X on a 200 mm (8 in) table, and no table load is listed
24 tools is the only magazine size in DN's table

Best For

Contoured 5-axis finishing where surface quality depends on smooth reversals Micro-machining and fine-detail parts at up to 42,000 rpm Long finishing programs on small mould and die components Shops that want a Heidenhain control on a small 5-axis machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does LINEAR mean on the FM 200 5AX LINEAR?

It refers to linear motors. DN's description of the series reads as a vertical machining center equipped with linear motors, and adds direct-drive motors and a symmetrical gantry structure. A linear motor drives the axis directly, with no ballscrew between the motor and the moving mass. DN's text does not state which axes use which type of motor.

02 How fast are the axes of the FM 200 5AX LINEAR?

DN's table does not say. It lists the spindle speed, 42,000 rpm, and the travels, but no rapid traverse, feed rate or acceleration. On a machine whose longest travel is 340 mm (13 in), acceleration decides the cycle time far more than top speed does, so ask DN for both figures and for the speeds of the two rotary axes.

03 Can the FM 200 5AX LINEAR take a heavy cut?

No. The spindle is rated 10 kW (13 hp) and 6.5 N·m (5 ft-lb) on an HSK-E40 taper. Its power arrives at high speed, where small cutters work, and there is little torque for a large tool at low rpm. Rough the part elsewhere, or rough it here with small tools and light, fast passes.

04 How much room does the FM 200 5AX LINEAR need?

The listed outline is 2,225 mm (88 in) long, 1,972 mm (78 in) wide and 2,375 mm (94 in) high, and the machine weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb). That weight on a small base means the floor load per unit area is worth a check. The outline does not include access for the operator or service.

05 How does the FM 200 5AX LINEAR compare with the DNM 350 5AX?

They are built for different work. The DNM 350 5AX travels 400 mm (16 in), 435 mm (17 in) and 500 mm (20 in), runs a 12,000 rpm spindle with 117 N·m (86 ft-lb), holds 30 tools and weighs 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). The FM 200 5AX LINEAR has about half the X travel, a 42,000 rpm spindle with 6.5 N·m (5 ft-lb) and 24 tools, and weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb).
