Overview

The DN Solutions T 4000 HP is the T 4000 tapping center with the largest spindle motor in the family table: 36 kW (48 hp) at 12,000 rpm, over a 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table rated for 300 kg (661 lb). The standard T 4000 lists 5.5/3.7 kW (7.4/5.0 hp) and the T 4000 L 13 kW (17 hp), so the motor is the row that sets this variant apart. Travels are the same as on the standard machine, listed as 350 mm (14 in) in X, 520 mm in Y and 400 mm in Z.

Torque does not rise with the power. DN Solutions gives 43 N·m (32 ft-lb), where the T 4000 L lists 82.7 N·m (61 ft-lb). A spindle with a lot of power and modest torque makes that power high in the speed range, so the HP is suited to fast metal removal with small and medium cutters running near 12,000 rpm. Slow cuts with wide face mills or large drills ask for torque, and on that count the L is the stronger machine.

Rapid traverse is 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) in X and Y and 56 m/min (2,205 ipm) in Z. The standard T 4000 lists 56 m/min (2,205 ipm) as a single figure, so the HP gives a little away on the two horizontal axes. On drill-and-tap cycles most of the non-cutting movement is in Z, and Z keeps the faster figure.

DN Solutions describes the T series as servo-driven machines with 21 tools as standard and a Fanuc control. The table gives no spindle taper, tool size limits or coolant data, so those need confirming before a job is quoted on this machine. It weighs 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) and stands 2,380 mm (94 in) high on a footprint of 2,682 × 1,600 mm (106 × 63 in). One oddity of the table is that the longest stroke sits in the Y row; check the axis layout on the machine drawing against the fixture before ordering.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

36 kW (48 hp) spindle rating, against 13 kW (17 hp) on the T 4000 L and 11 kW (15 hp) on the T 4000 HS
Z rapid of 56 m/min (2,205 ipm), with 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) on X and Y
300 kg (661 lb) table load on a 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table; the T 4000 HS is limited to 200 kg (441 lb)
21 tools as standard across the T series, with servo-driven axes and a Fanuc control
Small machine for the power: 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) on a 2,682 × 1,600 mm (106 × 63 in) footprint

Limitations

Torque is 43 N·m (32 ft-lb), roughly half the 82.7 N·m (61 ft-lb) of the T 4000 L, so slow heavy cuts are not what this motor is for
X and Y rapids of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) are below the 56 m/min (2,205 ipm) of the standard T 4000
Speed stops at 12,000 rpm; the standard T 4000 has an 18,000 rpm option and the T 4000 HS runs to 24,000 rpm
Short strokes of 350 mm (14 in) and 400 mm on two axes; the T 4000 L is the variant with a 700 mm long axis
No taper, tool dimensions or coolant figures in DN Solutions' table for this model

Best For

High-rate milling of aluminium with small and medium cutters near 12,000 rpm Drill-and-tap production parts that fit a 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table Fixtures and workpieces up to 300 kg (661 lb) on the table Cells where floor space is tight: 2,682 × 1,600 mm (106 × 63 in) footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What separates the T 4000 HP from the standard T 4000?

The spindle motor and the rapids. The T 4000 HP lists 36 kW (48 hp) and 43 N·m (32 ft-lb), while the standard T 4000 lists 5.5/3.7 kW (7.4/5.0 hp) and 82.7 N·m. Rapids on the HP are 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) in X and Y and 56 m/min (2,205 ipm) in Z; the T 4000 gives 56 m/min (2,205 ipm). Travels, the 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table and the 300 kg (661 lb) load are the same.

02 Should I choose the T 4000 HP or the T 4000 HS?

They pull in opposite directions. The T 4000 HS runs to 24,000 rpm with 11 kW (15 hp) and 17.5 N·m (13 ft-lb), and its table load is 200 kg (441 lb). The T 4000 HP stays at 12,000 rpm but lists 36 kW (48 hp), 43 N·m (32 ft-lb) and a 300 kg (661 lb) table load. Very small tools and fine finishing favour the HS; higher removal rates with larger cutters favour the HP.

03 Is the T 4000 HP a good choice for heavy cuts in steel?

Only within limits. The power figure is high at 36 kW (48 hp), but torque is 43 N·m (32 ft-lb), so the spindle delivers its power at speed. Large-diameter cutters and big taps that run slowly depend on torque, and the T 4000 L lists 82.7 N·m (61 ft-lb) for that kind of work.

04 What size of part fits the T 4000 HP?

The table is 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) and carries up to 300 kg (661 lb). Travels are listed as 350 mm (14 in) in X, 520 mm in Y and 400 mm in Z. Fixture height plus tool length has to fit inside the 400 mm stroke, which is the row to check first for tall parts.

05 How much floor space and foundation load does it need?

DN Solutions lists a footprint of 2,682 × 1,600 mm (106 × 63 in) with a height of 2,380 mm (94 in), and a machine weight of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). Space for the operator, chip handling and electrical cabinet access comes on top of the footprint figure.
