Overview

The DN Solutions NHP 5000 S shares its travels, spindle and weight with the NHP 5000 and differs from it in two rows of DN Solutions' table, the pallet and the footprint. The pallet is given as 500 × 600 mm (20 × 24 in) rather than the 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) of the NHP 5000. The working figures match: 730 mm (29 in) of X and Y, 880 mm (35 in) of Z, 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids, an ISO 40 spindle at 15,000 rpm, a 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load, 40 tools and 11,500 kg (25,353 lb) of machine weight.

The footprint row is the one to study if floor space is the reason for looking at this model. Length is 4,580 mm (180 in), width 2,680 mm (106 in) and height 2,930 mm (115 in). The NHP 5000 is listed at 5,450 mm (215 in) long on the same width, and at 2,880 mm (113 in) high. The table gives one figure for each dimension, so check the layout drawing for which peripherals the length includes and how far the pallet-loading station projects.

The pallet row needs the same care. A 500 × 600 mm entry on a machine with the same 730 mm X travel and 500 kg load as the 500 × 500 mm NHP 5000 may describe a rectangular pallet, and that would change fixture plates and tombstones. Confirm the pallet drawing before ordering workholding.

Spindle choice is the main configuration decision. The standard unit is listed at 30/18.5 kW (40/25 hp) and 229.9 N·m (170 ft-lb). The option column gives 37/22 kW (50/30 hp), 303 N·m (224 ft-lb) and a top speed of 20,000 rpm, without saying which of those belong to one spindle. For steel and iron the higher torque is the figure that matters; for small tools in aluminium it is the speed. Ask for the power and torque curve of the exact spindle quoted.

DN Solutions describes the series as built on a step-guide bed with a double-wall main body, roller-type LM guideways on all axes and servo-driven tool and pallet changers. A Linear Pallet System (LPS) and a Multi-Pallet System (MPS) are the pallet extensions named.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed length of 4,580 mm (180 in), against 5,450 mm (215 in) for the NHP 5000 with the same 730 mm (29 in) X and Y travel
Pallet listed at 500 × 600 mm (20 × 24 in), where the NHP 5000 lists 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in)
Same 15,000 rpm standard speed, 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids and 880 mm (35 in) Z travel as the NHP 5000
Options to 20,000 rpm, 37/22 kW (50/30 hp) and 303 N·m (224 ft-lb)
Step-guide bed, double-wall main body and roller-type LM guideways are listed for the series

Limitations

The 500 kg (1,102 lb) table load is unchanged from the NHP 5000 even though the pallet is listed larger
Standard torque of 229.9 N·m (170 ft-lb) on an ISO 40 taper restricts heavy roughing and large boring tools
The option column does not show which power and torque go with the 20,000 rpm spindle
Height of 2,930 mm (115 in) needs checking against low ceilings, ducting and crane hooks

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the NHP 5000 S and the NHP 5000?

Two rows differ. The pallet is 500 × 600 mm (20 × 24 in) on the NHP 5000 S and 500 × 500 mm (20 × 20 in) on the NHP 5000. The listed length is 4,580 mm (180 in) on the NHP 5000 S against 5,450 mm (215 in) on the NHP 5000. Standard torque is printed as 229.9 N·m here and 230 N·m there, both with 170 ft-lb in brackets, which is a rounding difference. Travels, rapids, spindle speed and power, table load, tool capacity and machine weight are identical.

02 What are the dimensions of the NHP 5000 S?

DN Solutions lists 4,580 × 2,680 × 2,930 mm (180 × 106 × 115 in), which is length, width and height, and a machine weight of 11,500 kg (25,353 lb). The table does not show service clearances or the space taken by a pallet extension system, so those come from the layout drawing.

03 Which spindle should be specified on the NHP 5000 S?

The standard ISO 40 spindle runs to 15,000 rpm at 30/18.5 kW (40/25 hp) and 229.9 N·m (170 ft-lb). Options listed are 20,000 rpm, 37/22 kW (50/30 hp) and 303 N·m (224 ft-lb). Because the table does not tie the option figures together, decide first whether the work needs torque or speed, then ask DN Solutions for the full rating of that spindle.

04 How large a workpiece can the NHP 5000 S machine?

The axes travel 730 mm (29 in) in X, 730 mm (29 in) in Y and 880 mm (35 in) in Z, and the table carries 500 kg (1,102 lb) including the fixture. The table does not state a maximum workpiece diameter or height, which depends on the enclosure and the pallet changer swing, so take those from the machine drawing.

05 Is the NHP 5000 S suitable for unattended production?

The series has an automatic pallet changer and a servo-driven tool changer, and DN Solutions names a Linear Pallet System (LPS) and a Multi-Pallet System (MPS) as extensions. The magazine is listed at 40 tools, so a long unattended run depends on how many of those are needed for the part and how many are left for duplicate tools.
