Overview
The DN Solutions VC 630 is a high-performance vertical machining center designed for 5-axis simultaneous machining of complex parts in aerospace, medical, and precision mold applications. Built around a trunnion-style rotary tilting table with a 630 mm diameter, the VC 630 provides full 5-axis capability within a compact footprint. The A/C axis configuration enables complete part access in a single setup, dramatically reducing cycle times and improving accuracy by eliminating re-fixturing operations.
The VC 630 features a direct-drive 12,000 RPM spindle with 22 kW (30 hp) of power through a BIG-PLUS CAT 40 taper, delivering the speed and rigidity needed for both roughing and finishing in aluminum, steel, and titanium. Axis travels of 762 x 510 x 560 mm (30 x 20 x 22 in) combined with a 300 kg (661 lb) table load capacity make this machine well-suited for medium-sized 5-axis work. The roller linear guideways on all linear axes provide smooth motion and positioning accuracy essential for complex contour machining.
The FANUC 31i-B5 control with 5-axis simultaneous capability and AICC II (AI Contour Control) delivers smooth surface finishes on sculpted surfaces. With rapid traverse rates of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X/Y/Z, the VC 630 keeps non-cutting time low. The machine competes with the DMG MORI CMX 70 U, Mazak VARIAXIS C-600, and Hermle C 250—delivering DN Solutions' proven build quality at a competitive price point for the 5-axis segment.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Full 5-axis simultaneous capability with trunnion A/C axis enables complex part machining in a single setup
- Direct-drive spindle provides smooth, vibration-free cutting at high speeds for superior surface finish quality
- FANUC 31i-B5 with AICC II delivers advanced contour control for smooth sculpted surfaces in aerospace and medical parts
- BIG-PLUS CAT 40 interface provides enhanced rigidity over standard CAT 40 for improved performance in harder materials
- Competitive pricing versus European 5-axis machines (Hermle, DMG MORI) with comparable build quality
Limitations
- 300 kg table load capacity limits workpiece size compared to larger 5-axis platforms
- CAT 40 taper limits heavy roughing capability versus CAT 50 or HSK-A100 5-axis machines
- 630 mm table diameter constrains maximum part envelope for larger aerospace components
- Smaller dealer network for 5-axis service compared to DMG MORI or Mazak in North America

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A new DN Solutions VC 630 typically runs between $250,000 and $380,000 depending on configuration. The base machine with 12,000 RPM spindle and 30-tool ATC starts around $250,000-$280,000. Adding the 15,000 RPM spindle, through-spindle coolant, probing package, and expanded tool magazine pushes pricing to $300,000-$340,000. A fully loaded machine with 90-tool ATC, high-pressure coolant, and automation interface reaches $350,000-$380,000.
02
Both are trunnion-style 5-axis VMCs targeting the same market segment. The DMG MORI CMX 70 U offers slightly larger axis travels and the CELOS control ecosystem, while the VC 630 delivers competitive specifications at a typically lower price point. The DN Solutions machine uses the proven FANUC 31i-B5 control, which many shops prefer for its reliability and industry-wide familiarity. The CMX 70 U benefits from DMG MORI's larger global service network.
03
Yes. The VC 630's rigid construction, direct-drive spindle, and BIG-PLUS CAT 40 interface are well-suited for titanium machining. The high torque output at lower RPMs provides the cutting force needed for titanium roughing, while the 5-axis capability enables optimal tool engagement angles that reduce cutting forces and extend tool life. Through-spindle coolant is recommended for titanium work.
04
All major CAM packages support the VC 630 with FANUC 31i-B5. Mastercam, NX, CATIA, hyperMILL, and Fusion 360 all generate 5-axis toolpaths with appropriate post-processors. DN Solutions and their dealers can typically provide or recommend post-processors for the most common CAM systems. The FANUC 31i-B5 control supports standard G-code with 5-axis extensions.
