Overview

The DN Solutions MYNX 5400 II is the entry size of DN's Mynx heavy duty vertical machining centers, with 1,020 mm (40 in) of X, 550 mm (22 in) of Y, 530 mm (21 in) of Z and an 8,000 rpm spindle. DN gives the Mynx line-up a Y range of 550 mm to 950 mm (37.4 in), and this model sits at the 550 mm end.

The table is 1,200 × 540 mm (47 × 21 in): longer than the X travel and a touch narrower than the Y travel. In practice the spindle covers the full depth of the table, while the outer ends of its length are clamping room and not cutting room. The load limit is 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), which leaves a real margin for a pair of vises or a fixture plate with steel parts on it.

Spindle rows are 15 kW (20 hp) and 286.5 N·m (211 ft-lb). A torque figure that high beside a modest power figure means the torque belongs to the bottom of the speed range, where large cutters and big drills run. Toward the upper end of the 8,000 rpm range the cut is limited by the 15 kW (20 hp). That profile fits steel and cast iron better than high-volume aluminium roughing. DN describes the series as having a rigid structure for heavy duty cutting and a CAM-type tool changer.

The MYNX 5400 50 II shares every travel, table and spindle-power row but is listed at 6,000 rpm and 7,500 kg (16,535 lb), where this machine weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb). Rapids here are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Y and 24 m/min (945 ipm) on Z. Floor space is 2,467 × 3,350 mm (97 × 132 in) in length and width, with 3,012 mm (119 in) of height to clear.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

8,000 rpm top speed, against 6,000 rpm on the MYNX 5400 50 II with the same travels
286.5 N·m (211 ft-lb) of torque for low-speed cutting with large tools
Table of 1,200 × 540 mm (47 × 21 in) rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb)
550 mm (22 in) of Y travel covers the full 540 mm (21 in) depth of the table
Lightest of the Mynx models compared here at 7,000 kg (15,432 lb), on 2,467 × 3,350 mm (97 × 132 in) of floor

Limitations

Spindle power is 15 kW (20 hp), which caps metal removal at the upper end of the speed range
X travel is 1,020 mm (40 in); the MYNX 6500/II offers 1,270 mm (50 in)
Z-axis rapid is 24 m/min (945 ipm), below the 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) of X and Y
No taper, tool capacity or tool-change time appears in DN's table for this model

Best For

General steel and cast-iron milling on parts up to 1,020 mm (40 in) long Low-speed work with large face mills and drills Fixtures and parts up to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) together Mixed work that needs speeds up to 8,000 rpm as well as low-end torque

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the MYNX 5400 II compare with the MYNX 6500/II?

The spindle rows are the same on both; the size is not. The MYNX 6500/II has 1,270 mm (50 in) of X, 670 mm (26 in) of Y and 625 mm (25 in) of Z, a 1,300 kg (2,866 lb) load limit and a weight of 9,000 kg (19,842 lb). The MYNX 5400 II has 1,020 mm (40 in), 550 mm (22 in) and 530 mm (21 in), carries 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) and weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb).

02 What kind of cutting is the MYNX 5400 II spindle suited to?

It is listed at 8,000 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp) and 286.5 N·m (211 ft-lb). High torque with moderate power favours large-diameter tools at low speed: face mills, indexable drills, boring bars and big taps in steel and cast iron. Small tools can use the full 8,000 rpm, but long roughing passes at high speed are bounded by the 15 kW (20 hp).

03 Which is faster, the MYNX 5400 II or the MYNX 5400 50 II?

In spindle speed, the MYNX 5400 II: 8,000 rpm against 6,000 rpm for the MYNX 5400 50 II. Axis rapids are the same on both at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and Y and 24 m/min (945 ipm) on Z. DN's table shows the same 15 kW (20 hp) and 286.5 N·m (211 ft-lb) for the two, and a weight of 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) for the MYNX 5400 50 II.

04 How heavy a workpiece can the MYNX 5400 II take?

The table is rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). That total includes vises, fixture plates and clamps. The table measures 1,200 × 540 mm (47 × 21 in) and Z travel is 530 mm (21 in), so on this machine the envelope usually runs out before the load rating does.

05 What are the installation dimensions of the MYNX 5400 II?

DN lists the machine at 2,467 × 3,350 mm (97 × 132 in) in length and width and 3,012 mm (119 in) in height, with a weight of 7,000 kg (15,432 lb). Check the height against the door and the ceiling on the way in, and leave access around the machine for loading and maintenance.
