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 NHP 5000 is a 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) pallet horizontal machining center with an ISO 40 spindle that runs to 15,000 rpm, or 20,000 rpm with the optional spindle. X and Y travels are both 730 mm (29 in), Z is 880 mm (35 in), and rapid traverse is 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).

In the NHP range it sits between two quite different neighbours. Below it, the NHP 4000 has a 400 mm (16 in) pallet, a 400 kg (882 lb) load and 560 mm (22 in) of X, with the same standard spindle ratings but no 20,000 rpm option in its table. Above it on the same 500 × 500 mm pallet, the NHP 5500 2ND changes the spindle class: an ISO 50 taper turning at 10,000 rpm with 516 N·m (381 ft-lb), and an 800 kg (1,764 lb) load.

So the NHP 5000 is the pick when the pallet size is right and the work is led by speed. Its spindle is listed at 30/18.5 kW (40/25 hp) and 230 N·m (170 ft-lb), with an option at 37/22 kW (50/30 hp) and 303 N·m (224 ft-lb). Those are figures for aluminium housings, die-cast parts and steel work with moderate cutter diameters. The table does not pair the 20,000 rpm option with a power or torque row, so confirm the ratings of that spindle before specifying it.

Table load is 500 kg (1,102 lb), which must cover tombstone, fixtures, clamps and parts together. The 880 mm Z travel is long for a 500 mm pallet, which leaves room for long tools and deep bores even with a tombstone in the way. Tool capacity is listed as 40.

The machine weighs 11,500 kg (25,353 lb) and measures 5,450 × 2,680 × 2,880 mm (215 × 106 × 113 in) as length, width and height. DN Solutions lists roller-type LM guideways on every axis, servo-driven tool and pallet changers, and Linear Pallet System (LPS) or Multi-Pallet System (MPS) pallet extensions for the series.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

20,000 rpm spindle option above the standard 15,000 rpm, which the NHP 4000 table does not offer
Square 730 × 730 mm (29 × 29 in) X and Y travel with 880 mm (35 in) of Z on a 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) pallet
60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapid traverse
Spindle option of 37/22 kW (50/30 hp) and 303 N·m (224 ft-lb) for heavier cuts on the ISO 40 taper
LPS and MPS pallet extension systems are listed for the series

Limitations

500 kg (1,102 lb) table load; the NHP 5500 2ND carries 800 kg (1,764 lb) on the same pallet size
Standard torque is 230 N·m (170 ft-lb) on an ISO 40 taper, against 516 N·m (381 ft-lb) on the ISO 50 NHP 5500 2ND
The table gives no power or torque for the 20,000 rpm option
Tool capacity is listed as 40 with no larger magazine shown in the table

Best For

Aluminium and die-cast parts that benefit from 15,000 or 20,000 rpm Tombstone fixtures on a 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) pallet up to 500 kg (1,102 lb) Parts with deep features that use the 880 mm (35 in) Z travel Production cells that add pallets through LPS or MPS

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Should I choose the NHP 5000 or the NHP 5500 2ND?

Both use a 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) pallet and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids. The NHP 5000 has an ISO 40 spindle at 15,000 rpm with 230 N·m (170 ft-lb) and a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load. The NHP 5500 2ND has an ISO 50 spindle at 10,000 rpm with 516 N·m (381 ft-lb), an 800 kg (1,764 lb) load and slightly longer travels of 800 × 750 × 900 mm. Light alloys and small tools point to the NHP 5000; large cutters in steel and iron point to the NHP 5500 2ND.

02 What is the maximum spindle speed of the NHP 5000?

15,000 rpm as standard, with 20,000 rpm listed as an option. The standard spindle is rated 30/18.5 kW (40/25 hp) and 230 N·m (170 ft-lb). An optional rating of 37/22 kW (50/30 hp) and 303 N·m (224 ft-lb) is also listed. The table does not say what power and torque the 20,000 rpm spindle delivers.

03 How much can the NHP 5000 pallet hold?

The maximum table load is 500 kg (1,102 lb) on a 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) pallet. A four-sided tombstone with vises or hydraulic clamping takes a large part of that before any workpiece is loaded, so total the fixture weight early.

04 What are the travels of the NHP 5000?

X travel is 730 mm (29 in), Y travel is 730 mm (29 in) and Z travel is 880 mm (35 in). Rapid traverse is listed at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm). The smaller NHP 4000 has 560 × 640 × 660 mm.

05 What does the NHP 5000 weigh and how big is it?

Machine weight is 11,500 kg (25,353 lb). DN Solutions lists the dimensions as 5,450 × 2,680 × 2,880 mm (215 × 106 × 113 in), which are length, width and height. Pallet extension systems such as LPS or MPS add to that floor area.
