Overview
The DN Solutions NHP 5000 is a high-performance horizontal machining center built for production environments where speed, accuracy, and uptime define competitiveness. With a 15,000 RPM (20,000 RPM optional) spindle delivering 30 kW (40 hp) through an ISO 40 taper, the NHP 5000 targets high-speed machining of aluminum, steel, and cast iron components in automotive, aerospace, and general production. The 500 x 500 mm (20 x 20 in) pallet with 500 kg (1,102 lb) load capacity handles a wide range of medium-sized workpieces on tombstone or dedicated fixtures.
Axis travels of 730 x 730 x 880 mm (29 x 29 x 35 in) provide a generous work envelope for the pallet size, and the 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapid traverse on all axes is among the fastest in the 500mm HMC class—dramatically reducing non-cutting time in production cycles. The standard 40-tool magazine keeps tool changes fast, with expansion options for shops running complex multi-operation parts. The dual-pallet changer enables parts loading on one pallet while the machine cuts on the other, keeping spindle utilization above 90%.
At 11,500 kg (25,353 lb), the NHP 5000 is built on a thermally symmetric, heavily ribbed casting that maintains geometric accuracy during extended production runs. The high-torque spindle option delivers 303 Nm (224 ft-lb) for aggressive roughing in steel and cast iron. The NHP 5000 competes directly with the Mazak HCN-5000, Okuma MA-500HII, and Makino a61nx in the production HMC segment. With the FANUC 0i-Plus control and DN Solutions' proven reliability, the NHP 5000 delivers Japanese-tier performance at a competitive Korean price point.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 60 m/min rapid traverse on all axes is among the fastest in the 500mm HMC class, significantly reducing non-cutting time
- 15,000 RPM standard spindle with 20,000 RPM option provides high-speed capability for aluminum and precision finishing
- 880 mm Z-travel is generous for the pallet size, accommodating tall tombstone fixtures and deep part features
- Thermally symmetric casting design maintains accuracy during long production runs without excessive warm-up
- Dual-pallet system enables spindle utilization above 90% in production environments
Limitations
- 500 kg pallet load capacity is average for the class—shops running heavy steel tombstones should consider the NHP 6300
- ISO 40 taper limits maximum cutter diameter and roughing force compared to ISO 50 machines
- 11,500 kg machine weight and large footprint require dedicated floor space and foundation
- High-performance spindle options (20K RPM) add significant cost to the base configuration

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A new DN Solutions NHP 5000 typically runs between $280,000 and $420,000 depending on configuration. The base machine with 15,000 RPM spindle, 40-tool ATC, and dual-pallet changer starts around $280,000-$320,000. Adding the 20,000 RPM spindle, through-spindle coolant, probing, and expanded tool magazine pushes pricing to $340,000-$380,000. A fully loaded machine with 120-tool ATC, high-pressure coolant, and automation interface reaches $380,000-$420,000.
02
Both are high-performance 500mm pallet HMCs targeting production environments. The NHP 5000 matches the Mazak on rapid traverse (60 m/min) and spindle speed options. The Mazak HCN-5000 benefits from Mazak's extensive global service network and the SmoothG CNC control ecosystem. The NHP 5000 typically prices $30,000-$60,000 below the Mazak for comparable configurations, making it an attractive value proposition for shops standardized on FANUC controls.
03
Yes. The NHP 5000 is automation-ready with options for linear pallet pools, robot loading systems, and FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) integration. The dual-pallet base system is the starting point, and DN Solutions offers extended pallet pool configurations for lights-out and unmanned production. The FANUC 0i-Plus control supports standard automation interfaces.
04
The NHP 5000 is the high-performance variant with 15,000-20,000 RPM spindle speeds and 60 m/min rapids, designed for high-speed production. The NHC 5000 is the cost-optimized variant with 8,000 RPM standard spindle (12,000/15,000 optional) and 40-48 m/min rapids, designed as a value-oriented production HMC. The NHP costs roughly $50,000-$80,000 more than the NHC for comparable configurations.
