Overview
The DN Solutions NHP 8000 is the large-pallet machine among the NHP horizontals: an 800 mm (31 in) pallet carrying up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), with travels of 1,400 mm (55 in) in X, 1,200 mm (47 in) in Y and 1,370 mm (54 in) in Z. It weighs 27,000 kg (59,525 lb).
Power is what sets its spindle apart from the NHP 6300. Both list 10,000 rpm, 600 N·m (443 ft-lb) and options of 15,000 rpm and 809 N·m (597 ft-lb) on an ISO 50 taper. The NHP 8000 is rated 45/25 kW (60/34 hp), with 55/30 kW (74/40 hp) as an option, where the NHP 6300 lists 30 kW (40 hp). Equal torque with more power means the larger machine can hold its torque further up the speed range, which helps with big face mills in aluminium structures and with high-feed tools in steel.
Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). That is below the 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) of the NHP 6300, as expected with more mass moving over longer axes.
The Z travel of 1,370 mm is nearly as long as X, so deep parts and long boring bars are within reach, and 1,200 mm of Y allows tall tombstones or frame-type parts. The 2,000 kg limit covers fixture and workpiece together, and a steel tombstone sized for an 800 mm pallet takes a noticeable share of it.
Installation is a project in itself. The footprint is 7,878 × 4,375 mm (310 × 172 in) and the height 3,803 mm (150 in). For the series DN lists roller-type LM guideways on every axis, a step-guide bed under the column, servo-driven tool and pallet changers, and LPS or MPS pallet systems for running more pallets. Tool capacity is listed as 40, so if parts need many tools, ask DN Solutions whether a larger magazine is available.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 800 mm (31 in) pallet with a 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) load, against 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on the NHP 6300
- 45/25 kW (60/34 hp) spindle rating, with a 55/30 kW (74/40 hp) option
- Z travel of 1,370 mm (54 in) alongside 1,400 mm (55 in) of X and 1,200 mm (47 in) of Y
- 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapid traverse on a 27,000 kg (59,525 lb) machine
- 10,000 rpm standard on an ISO 50 taper, with a 15,000 rpm option
Limitations
- Standard torque is 600 N·m (443 ft-lb), the same as the smaller NHP 6300; more needs the 809 N·m (597 ft-lb) option
- Tool capacity is listed as 40 for parts of this size
- Rapids of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) are slower than the 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) of the NHP 6300
- A footprint of 7,878 × 4,375 mm (310 × 172 in) and a height of 3,803 mm (150 in) call for a large bay and a checked rigging route

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The NHP 8000 has an 800 mm (31 in) pallet, 1,400 × 1,200 × 1,370 mm travels, a 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) load and 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) rapids. The NHP 6300 has a 630 × 630 mm (25 × 25 in) pallet, 1,050 × 900 × 1,000 mm travels, a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) load and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids. Speed and torque rows are the same, 10,000 rpm and 600 N·m (443 ft-lb), but the NHP 8000 lists 45/25 kW (60/34 hp) where the NHP 6300 lists 30 kW (40 hp).
02
The standard rating is 45/25 kW (60/34 hp) and the option is 55/30 kW (74/40 hp). DN Solutions prints each as a pair of ratings without stating the duty behind them in the table. Torque is 600 N·m (443 ft-lb) as standard with 809 N·m (597 ft-lb) optional, and top speed is 10,000 rpm with 15,000 rpm optional.
03
X travel is 1,400 mm (55 in), Y travel is 1,200 mm (47 in) and Z travel is 1,370 mm (54 in), over an 800 mm (31 in) pallet. The table does not state the maximum workpiece swing or height, so those limits come from the machine drawing.
04
The maximum table load is 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). That figure includes the tombstone or fixture, clamping hardware and all the parts on the pallet, so weigh the fixture design before assuming a heavy casting will fit within it.
05
The machine weighs 27,000 kg (59,525 lb) and is listed at 7,878 × 4,375 × 3,803 mm (310 × 172 × 150 in) as length, width and height. Check the foundation for that weight, the door and crane clearances for the height, and add the floor area of any LPS or MPS pallet system.
