Overview

The DN Solutions HM 800 is a large-format horizontal machining center in the HM series, designed for heavy-duty machining of large castings, structural components, and industrial parts that require the combination of high torque, generous travel, and robust fixturing capacity. With axis travels of 1,600 x 1,100 x 1,100 mm (63 x 43 x 43 in) and an 800 x 800 mm (31 x 31 in) pallet supporting up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), the HM 800 handles large workpieces that exceed the capacity of 630mm-class machines.

The ISO 50 spindle delivers 26 kW (35 hp) with up to 2,000 Nm (1,475 ft-lb) of torque at 6,000 RPM, purpose-built for heavy roughing with large-diameter face mills, boring bars, and shell mills in steel and cast iron. The high-torque, lower-speed spindle philosophy prioritizes material removal rate over surface speed—the right approach for the large structural and industrial parts this machine targets. Rapid traverse of 24 m/min (945 ipm) on all axes reflects the machine's heavy-duty orientation over high-speed production.

The 60-tool magazine provides capacity for complex parts requiring many tools, and the dual-pallet changer enables production continuity for large part runs. At approximately 25,000 kg (55,116 lb), the HM 800 is built on massive castings with box guideways that provide the vibration damping and load-carrying capacity essential for heavy-duty horizontal machining. The FANUC 0i-Plus control manages the machine's capabilities while keeping operation straightforward. The HM 800 competes with the Mazak HCN-8800, Okuma MA-800HII, and Toyoda FH800SX in the large-format HMC segment.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 2,000 Nm spindle torque with ISO 50 taper enables aggressive heavy roughing with large-diameter cutters in steel and cast iron
  • 800 x 800 mm pallet with 2,000 kg load capacity handles large castings and structural components that overwhelm smaller HMCs
  • Box guideway construction on all axes provides superior vibration damping and load-carrying capacity for heavy-duty machining
  • 1,600 mm X-travel provides generous reach across large workpieces without repositioning
  • 60-tool standard magazine handles complex multi-operation parts without running out of tools

Limitations

  • 25,000 kg machine weight requires significant foundation engineering and limits placement flexibility
  • 6,000 RPM standard spindle speed is low for aluminum or finishing work—this is a roughing-focused machine
  • 24 m/min rapid traverse is slow compared to high-speed HMCs, adding non-cutting time in multi-tool cycles
  • Large footprint and high investment limit this machine to shops with established need for large-format horizontal machining

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DN Solutions HM 800 cost?

A new DN Solutions HM 800 typically runs between $450,000 and $650,000 depending on configuration. The base machine with 6,000 RPM spindle, 60-tool ATC, and dual-pallet changer starts around $450,000-$500,000. Adding through-spindle coolant, probing, chip management, and expanded tool magazine pushes pricing to $530,000-$580,000. A fully loaded machine with 120-tool ATC, high-pressure coolant, and automation interfaces can reach $600,000-$650,000.

02 What is the difference between the HM 800 and HM 1000?

The HM 1000 is the larger sibling with 1,000 x 1,000 mm pallets (vs 800 x 800), more travel (2,100 x 1,250 x 1,250 mm), higher pallet load (3,000 kg vs 2,000 kg), and greater machine weight (29,000 kg vs 25,000 kg). Both share the same ISO 50 spindle platform and FANUC control. The HM 1000 is for shops that need to machine even larger workpieces that exceed the HM 800's envelope.

03 Why choose box guideways over linear guides for large HMCs?

Box guideways provide superior vibration damping and load-carrying capacity compared to linear guides, which becomes critical in large HMCs handling heavy workpieces and aggressive cuts. The damping characteristics of box ways absorb cutting forces more effectively, producing better surface finishes during heavy roughing. The trade-off is slower rapid traverse (24 m/min vs 40-60 m/min), but in heavy-duty applications where cuts are long and tool changes are less frequent, the rigidity advantage outweighs the speed penalty.
