DN SOLUTIONS HC 400 II HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DN Solutions HC 400 II is a horizontal machining center engineered for precision metalworking applications. This three-axis machine features a Cat-40 spindle taper with a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 rpm (expandable to 12,000 rpm) and spindle power of 18.5 kW (25 hp), delivering 353.4 N·m of torque. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 400 x 400 mm on its pallet with a maximum allowable load of 400 kg. Travel capabilities span 600 mm (X-axis), 560 mm (Y-axis), and 565 mm (Z-axis), providing substantial machining envelopes for complex part geometry. All three axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 1,575 ipm, enabling efficient non-cutting movements. The HC 400 II incorporates a high-speed automatic pallet changer with rotary shuttle indexing and an 8-second pallet change cycle, supporting multi-part production workflows. Standard configuration includes a 40-tool automatic tool changer with 1.5-second tool change time, though expandable to 60 or more tools. The machine utilizes a Fanuc 0i-M CNC control system with advanced features including spindle orientation, load meter, rigid tapping, and through-spindle coolant capability at 230 psi. Its highly rigid Meehanite cast iron construction ensures dimensional stability during demanding cutting operations. Designed for aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing sectors, the HC 400 II combines compact footprint with robust performance, making it suitable for aluminum, titanium, and ferrous material machining.
