Overview

The DN Solutions XC 4000 DA 2SP is a twin-spindle vertical machining center with a moving column, sized for small parts made in large numbers. DN Solutions lists it with 630 mm (25 in) of X travel, 400 mm (16 in) of Y and 360 mm (14 in) of Z, a 70 m/min (2,756 ipm) rapid rate and a tool capacity of 2 × 24. Those are the figures given for the XC 4000-2SP as well, and the table shows no row in which the two differ.

A useful way to read the machine is against another DN vertical of similar reach. The DEM 4000 has 550 mm (22 in) of X and 400 mm (16 in) of Y, rapids of 24 m/min (945 ipm) and a weight of 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). The XC 4000 DA 2SP covers a similar area with two spindles, moves between cuts almost three times as fast and weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). For the structure DN names a mineral casting bed, which it credits for the high rapids and the acceleration and deceleration rates, and dual ball screws for durability and stiffness.

Tool handling follows the same priorities. The magazines are positioned at the base of the travelling column, 24 tools for each of the two spindles, and DN gives a C-T-C time of 3.8 sec. The automatic door runs on LM guides with a pneumatic cylinder. A process that needs more than 24 tools at a spindle in one clamping has to be split across operations.

Several things have to be settled with DN Solutions before a quotation means much. The table has no spindle speed, power, torque or taper. Table size is given as 790 × 300 mm (31 × 12 in) and load as 2-200 kg, while DN's own text says the XC 4000-2SP comes in a variety of dual table configurations to suit the customer. DN also calls it ready for robots or gantry loaders. Installed size is 6,156 × 2,230 × 3,200 mm (242 × 88 × 126 in) as length, width and height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Twin-spindle moving-column layout cuts two parts in each cycle
Rapid rate of 70 m/min (2,756 ipm), nearly three times the 24 m/min (945 ipm) of the DEM 4000
C-T-C tool change time of 3.8 sec, with the magazines at the base of the travelling column
12,000 kg (26,455 lb) machine weight behind a 630 × 400 × 360 mm (25 × 16 × 14 in) envelope
Described by DN Solutions as ready for robot or gantry-loader integration

Limitations

Spindle speed, power, torque and taper are missing from the table
Y travel is 400 mm (16 in) and Z only 360 mm (14 in), so tall fixtures and long tools compete for height
Each spindle has 24 tools available, which caps the number of operations per clamping
The listed load of 2-200 kg is ambiguous as printed; the VC 4000 D 2SP states 2 × 400 kg

Best For

Paired production of small prismatic parts Automated cells fed by a robot or gantry loader Light, fast cycles where rapids of 70 m/min (2,756 ipm) dominate Components within a 630 × 400 mm (25 × 16 in) area and 360 mm (14 in) of Z

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the XC 4000 DA 2SP different from the XC 4000-2SP?

Not in any figure DN Solutions lists. Both show 630 × 400 × 360 mm (25 × 16 × 14 in) travels, 70 m/min (2,756 ipm) rapids, a 790 × 300 mm (31 × 12 in) table, 2 × 24 tools and 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). DN's feature text refers to the XC 4000-2SP by name and mentions a variety of dual table configurations, so ask which configuration the DA designation covers.

02 How does the XC 4000 DA 2SP compare with the VC 4000 D 2SP?

The travels match at 630 × 400 × 360 mm. The VC 4000 D 2SP lists rapids of 48 m/min (1,890 ipm), a 12,000 rpm spindle with 13 kW and 82.8 N·m (61 ft-lb), an HSK-A 63 taper and a table load of 2 × 400 kg. The XC 4000 DA 2SP lists 70 m/min (2,756 ipm), about 46% faster than the VC 4000 D 2SP, but gives no spindle figures. Both weigh 12,000 kg.

03 What is the tool change time on the XC 4000 DA 2SP?

DN Solutions lists the C-T-C time as 3.8 sec. Tool storage is 24 tools for each of the two spindles, with the magazines positioned at the base of the travelling column, which DN says is to ensure high-speed machining performance. The automatic door is also described as optimised for high-speed tool change.

04 What should I confirm before ordering an XC 4000 DA 2SP?

Four things the table leaves open: the spindle (no speed, power, torque or taper is listed), the table configuration (790 × 300 mm (31 × 12 in) is listed, but DN mentions several dual table configurations), the load per table (printed as 2-200 kg) and the automation interface for a robot or gantry loader.

05 How much space does the XC 4000 DA 2SP need?

It is 6,156 mm (242 in) long, 2,230 mm (88 in) wide and 3,200 mm (126 in) high, and weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). Loader or robot space comes on top of that, so lay out the cell with the automation supplier before fixing the machine position.
