Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DN Solutions NHM 6300 is a 50-taper horizontal machining center built for torque rather than speed. It pairs a 630 mm (25 in) pallet and travels of 1,050 × 850 × 1,000 mm (41 × 33 × 39 in) with a 6,000 rpm spindle listed at 35/22 kW (47/30 hp) and 1,732 N·m (1,278 ft-lb). DN Solutions describes the NHM series as mid-to-large heavy-duty machines, and the rest of the table fits that description: 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids and a machine weight of 20,500 kg (45,195 lb).

The clearest way to place it is against the NHP 6300, which has the same 1,050 mm X and 1,000 mm Z travels. The NHP 6300 runs to 10,000 rpm with 600 N·m (443 ft-lb) and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids. The NHM 6300 moves at half that rapid rate and tops out lower, and in return delivers close to three times the torque. That makes it the choice for large face mills, big drills and boring bars in steel and cast iron, where cutting force and not axis speed sets the cycle time.

Two spindle options appear in the table. One raises top speed to 8,000 rpm. The other is a torque figure of 1,444 N·m (1,065 ft-lb), which is lower than the standard 1,732 N·m. The table does not say that the two go together, although trading torque for speed is the usual pattern, so ask which torque a quoted 8,000 rpm machine carries.

Capacity is where the comparison turns. Table load is 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), less than the 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) listed for the NHP 6300, and Y travel is 850 mm (33 in) against 900 mm (35 in) on the NHP 6300. A heavy fixture plus a casting needs adding up before the machine is chosen on torque alone. Tool capacity runs the other way: 60 tools here, 40 on the NHP 6300.

DN lists a servo-driven automatic tool changer and an automatic pallet changer for the series, with an ATC screen panel and an anti-lock door device among the operator functions. For installation, allow 6,410 × 3,930 mm (252 × 155 in) of floor and 3,495 mm (138 in) of height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,732 N·m (1,278 ft-lb) of spindle torque on an ISO 50 taper, against 600 N·m (443 ft-lb) on the NHP 6300 with the same X and Z travels
35/22 kW (47/30 hp) is the standard spindle rating; on the smaller NHM 5000 that rating is an option over 25/15 kW (34/20 hp)
60 tools in the magazine, where the NHP 6300 lists 40
Travels of 1,050 × 850 × 1,000 mm (41 × 33 × 39 in) over a 630 mm (25 in) pallet
A servo-driven automatic tool changer and an automatic pallet changer are listed for the series

Limitations

Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm), half the 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) of the NHP 6300, so non-cutting time is longer on parts with many short moves
Top speed is 6,000 rpm as standard and 8,000 rpm with the option, which limits small-diameter tools and high-speed aluminium work
Table load of 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) is below the 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) of the NHP 6300
The option column lists 1,444 N·m (1,065 ft-lb), below the standard 1,732 N·m; the table does not say which torque comes with the 8,000 rpm option
At 20,500 kg (45,195 lb) and 3,495 mm (138 in) tall, it needs foundation, rigging and headroom checks before delivery

Best For

Heavy roughing in steel and cast iron with 1,732 N·m at the spindle Large-diameter face milling, drilling and boring at low spindle speeds Prismatic parts within 1,050 × 850 × 1,000 mm (41 × 33 × 39 in) of travel Fixture and workpiece combinations up to 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) Processes that need a 60-tool magazine on a pallet-changing horizontal

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the NHM 6300 differ from the NHP 6300?

They share 1,050 mm (41 in) of X and 1,000 mm (39 in) of Z travel and an ISO 50 taper. The NHM 6300 is the torque machine: 6,000 rpm, 1,732 N·m (1,278 ft-lb), 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids and 60 tools. The NHP 6300 is the speed machine: 10,000 rpm, 600 N·m (443 ft-lb), 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids and 40 tools. The NHP 6300 also lists a higher table load, 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) against 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), and 900 mm (35 in) of Y against 850 mm (33 in).

02 What spindle options does the NHM 6300 have?

The standard spindle is listed at 6,000 rpm, 35/22 kW (47/30 hp) and 1,732 N·m (1,278 ft-lb) on an ISO 50 taper. The table shows an 8,000 rpm option and an optional torque figure of 1,444 N·m (1,065 ft-lb). It does not state whether the lower torque belongs to the faster spindle, so confirm the pairing with DN Solutions when specifying the machine.

03 How much weight can the NHM 6300 pallet carry?

The maximum table load is 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) on a 630 mm (25 in) pallet. That figure has to cover the fixture or tombstone, the clamping and the workpieces together. If the total is higher, the NHM 8000 is listed at 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) on an 800 mm (31 in) pallet.

04 Where does the NHM 6300 sit between the NHM 5000 and the NHM 8000?

The NHM 5000 has 800 × 700 × 850 mm travels, a 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) pallet, an 800 kg (1,764 lb) load and 1,034 N·m (763 ft-lb) as standard. The NHM 6300 has 1,050 × 850 × 1,000 mm, a 630 mm pallet, 1,200 kg and 1,732 N·m. The NHM 8000 keeps the 1,732 N·m spindle and grows to 1,400 × 1,050 × 1,200 mm, an 800 mm (31 in) pallet and 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), with rapids of 24 m/min (945 ipm).

05 How much space does the NHM 6300 need?

DN Solutions lists the machine at 6,410 × 3,930 × 3,495 mm (252 × 155 × 138 in) as length, width and height, and at 20,500 kg (45,195 lb). Add room around that for pallet loading, chip removal and service access, and check the floor and the rigging route for the weight.
