How much does the DN Solutions VM 750 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DN Solutions VM 750 is the first of the heavy die and mould machines in the VM range, a vertical machining center with 1,500 mm (59 in) of X travel, 750 mm (30 in) of Y and 800 mm (31 in) of Z. Its 1,600 × 800 mm (63 × 31 in) table is rated for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), and the machine itself weighs 14,000 kg (30,865 lb).
The step from the smaller machines is large. The VM 6500 carries 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) on its table and weighs 9,000 kg (19,842 lb); the VM 750 carries three times that load on a machine more than half as heavy again. The 800 mm Z stroke is the other gain, against 625 mm (25 in) on the VM 6500, because tall mould blocks and long tools use up Z quickly.
What the table trades away is speed. The listed spindle is 6,000 rpm with 18.5 kW (25 hp), and rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm). DN Solutions' series description lists gear-type spindles at 6,000 and 8,000 r/min and a built-in type at 12,000 r/min, with a dual contact spindle as standard, so the 6,000 rpm figure in the table corresponds to the first gear-type entry. That points to roughing steel with large cutters. A shop that finishes with small ball-nose tools should ask about the faster spindles before ordering.
For mould surfaces DN lists high-speed, high-precision contour control, tool monitoring and optimal feed control as the series' control functions. The table does not state spindle torque, taper or tool magazine capacity for the VM 750. If length is the constraint, the VM 750 L keeps the same Y, Z and spindle and extends X to 1,800 mm (71 in). Floor space is 4,524 mm (178 in) by 4,900 mm (193 in), and the machine stands 3,545 mm (140 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table load on a 1,600 × 800 mm (63 × 31 in) table, three times what the VM 6500 carries
- 800 mm (31 in) of Z travel for tall blocks and long-reach tooling
- 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle; the series lists a dual contact spindle as standard
- Series spindle choices listed by DN Solutions: gear type at 6,000 or 8,000 r/min, built-in type at 12,000 r/min
- 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) of machine under a 1,500 × 750 mm (59 × 30 in) working area
Limitations
- The listed spindle tops out at 6,000 rpm, which slows finishing with small-diameter cutters
- Rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm), against 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and Y on the VM 6500
- No spindle torque, taper or tool magazine figure appears in the table for this model
- Occupies 4,524 × 4,900 mm (178 × 193 in) of floor and needs a foundation for 14,000 kg (30,865 lb) plus the workpiece

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is rated for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) and measures 1,600 × 800 mm (63 × 31 in). That rating includes fixtures, parallels and clamps, not only the block. If the job is heavier, the VM 750 L is rated for 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) and the VM 960 for 4,000 kg (8,818 lb).
02
The table for the VM 750 lists 6,000 rpm and 18.5 kW (25 hp). DN Solutions' description of the series gives two gear-type speeds, 6,000 and 8,000 r/min, and a built-in type at 12,000 r/min, and states that a dual contact spindle is standard. Confirm with DN Solutions which of these can be ordered on this model, and at what power, because the table gives figures for the 6,000 rpm spindle only.
03
X travel and table length. The VM 750 has 1,500 mm (59 in) of X and a 1,600 × 800 mm (63 × 31 in) table for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The VM 750 L has 1,800 mm (71 in) of X and a 1,900 × 800 mm (75 × 31 in) table for 3,500 kg (7,716 lb), and weighs 14,800 kg (32,628 lb). Y, Z, spindle and rapid figures are identical.
04
They are built for different ends of mould work. The VM 6500 has a 12,000 rpm, 15.6 kW (21 hp) spindle, 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids in X and Y and a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) table. The VM 750 lists 6,000 rpm, 18.5 kW (25 hp), 20 m/min (787 ipm) and 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), with larger travels on every axis.
05
DN Solutions lists 4,524 mm (178 in) of length, 4,900 mm (193 in) of width and 3,545 mm (140 in) of height. Machine weight is 14,000 kg (30,865 lb), so the foundation should be checked for that plus up to 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) on the table.
