Overview

The DN Solutions T 4000 HS is a high-speed tapping center built for shops that need maximum spindle speed in the smallest possible footprint. The "HS" stands for High Speed, and at 24,000 RPM with 11 kW (15 hp) and 17.5 Nm of torque, this machine is purpose-built for rapid-fire drilling, tapping, and light milling of aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous materials. It's the kind of machine that makes its money through sheer cycle volume — fast tool changes, quick rapids, and a spindle that spins fast enough to take full advantage of high-speed carbide and diamond tooling.

Axis travels of 350 x 520 x 400 mm (14 x 21 x 16 in) keep the work envelope compact and purpose-driven. You're not machining large parts on this machine — you're cranking out hundreds or thousands of small components per shift. The 650 x 400 mm table with 200 kg load capacity accommodates multiple-part fixtures for batch processing. At 3,000 kg, the T 4000 HS installs easily on any shop floor without foundation work.

The 24,000 RPM spindle is the headline feature, but the overall machine design supports that speed with fast axis acceleration, quick tool changes, and a control tuned for high-speed contouring. If you're running a production cell making small aluminum parts — think electronics housings, automotive brackets, small aerospace components, or medical device parts — the T 4000 HS delivers the throughput of machines costing twice as much. It competes directly with Brother Speedio tapping centers and Fanuc Robodrill, offering a Korean value alternative to Japanese-made high-speed platforms.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

24,000 RPM spindle maximizes cutting speed for aluminum and non-ferrous materials with high-speed tooling
Compact footprint allows dense machine cell layouts for maximum production per square foot of floor space
Extremely fast cycle times on small parts make it one of the most productive machines per dollar invested
3,000 kg weight means zero foundation requirements — drop it on any level shop floor and start cutting
Low acquisition cost enables multi-machine cells that outproduce a single large VMC at lower total investment
FANUC control ensures compatibility with existing programs and operator training

Limitations

17.5 Nm spindle torque severely limits steel and cast iron cutting — this is fundamentally an aluminum machine
11 kW spindle power won't handle heavy milling operations that a full-size VMC manages easily
350 x 520 x 400 mm travels restrict part size to small components only
200 kg table load capacity is the lowest in the T 4000 lineup, limiting fixture weight

Best For

High-volume aluminum part production where spindle speed directly drives cycle time reduction Electronics and consumer product manufacturers machining small aluminum and brass housings Automotive suppliers producing brackets, covers, and small castings in dedicated production cells Medical device shops running small aluminum and titanium components at high speed Any production environment where maximizing parts-per-hour on small components is the primary goal

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DN Solutions T 4000 HS cost?

New T 4000 HS machines run $50,000-$80,000. The base machine starts around $50,000-$60,000. Adding through-spindle coolant, probing, chip conveyor, and automation interface pushes pricing to $70,000-$80,000. It's priced competitively against the Brother Speedio S300X2 and Fanuc Robodrill.

02 How does the T 4000 HS compare to the Brother Speedio?

Both are high-speed tapping centers targeting similar applications. The Brother Speedio S500X2 runs at 16,000 RPM standard (27,000 optional) with slightly larger travels. The T 4000 HS offers 24,000 RPM standard, which is a notable advantage for high-speed aluminum work. Brother has a larger installed base and more automation ecosystem options. The T 4000 HS typically prices $5,000-$15,000 below comparable Speedio models.

03 Can the T 4000 HS cut steel?

It can drill and tap steel, and handle light milling in mild steel. But with only 17.5 Nm of torque and 11 kW of power, it's not suited for heavy steel work. If you need to cut steel regularly, look at the T 4000 HP with its 36 kW spindle, or step up to the DNM 4000 VMC.

04 What's the difference between all the T 4000 models?

The T 4000 lineup has four variants: HS (24K RPM, high speed for aluminum), HP (12K RPM, 36 kW high power for mixed materials), L (12K RPM, extended Y-axis to 700mm for longer parts), and LHS (24K RPM, extended Y-axis — combines speed with length). Pick based on your primary material and part size.
