Technical Description
The DN Solutions HM 8000 is a high-performance horizontal machining center featuring a robust 31.5" x 31.5" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 3,527 lbs. It is equipped with a horizontal spindle taper #50, running at a standard maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 8,000 RPM, driven by a 35 HP motor rated for 30-minute intervals. The machine utilizes a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) standard, with options to expand capacity up to 324 tools, facilitating flexible and efficient machining. Tool change time is rapid, with 2.5 seconds for tool-to-tool and 9 seconds for chip-to-chip, minimizing idle periods.
The HM 8000 operates with 3 axes of movement, offering travels of 49.2" (X), 39.4" (Y), and 39.4" (Z), each capable of rapid traverse speeds up to 945 ipm and a maximum feed rate of 472 ipm, enabling fast and precise machining cycles. The machine supports a standard indexed table for workpiece positioning, with an optional rotary table for added versatility. Constructed for rigidity and precision in heavy-duty horizontal milling, grinding, and drilling tasks, the HM 8000 provides excellent work envelope size, power, and tooling options suitable for large and complex parts in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications. This combination of large work capacity, powerful spindle, and extensive tooling makes the DN Solutions HM 8000 a competitive choice among horizontal machining centers.
