DN Solutions DEM 4000 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machine tool features a vertical spindle with a CAT40 taper, a widely used standard in the industry characterized by a 7/24 taper angle (approximately 7 degrees), providing a secure and precise connection between the spindle and tooling. The CAT40 taper is ideal for a broad range of machining applications, offering a balance of rigidity and versatility, suitable for metal and plastic workpieces. The machine supports 20 tools in its tool magazine, enabling efficient tool changes during operation. It operates on a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, Z), with a travel distance of 21.65 inches along the X-axis and 17.7 inches along the Z-axis, without a U axis. The toolholder system ensures reliable tooling retention but does not allow tool rotation within the collet, making it compatible with automatic tool change (ATC) if supported by the machine. The spindle taper's CAT40 designation corresponds to an ANSI B5.50 standard, which includes specific dimensional and thread standards for securing tools. This setup is typical for mid-range machining centers demanding high precision and stability, supporting a variety of tooling types, such as end mills and collets, for flexible machining capabilities.
