DN SOLUTIONS NHM 8000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The DN Solutions NHM 8000 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for high-precision, powerful cutting of large and difficult-to-machine workpieces. It features a robust box-type guideway structure with FEM-optimized M and W shaped ribs for enhanced static rigidity and dynamic stiffness. The machine supports a large worktable measuring 31.5" x 31.5", capable of handling workpieces up to 4,409 lbs. Its horizontal spindle includes a CAT50 taper or optional HSK 100A taper, delivering up to 8,000 RPM and 37 HP (30-min rating) for high torque and cutting performance. The NHM 8000 is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) that holds 90 tools standard, expandable up to 376, with rapid tool change times of 2 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 8.5 seconds, maximizing productivity. The machine operates on three axes with travels of 55.1" (X), 41.3" (Y), and 47.2" (Z), each capable of a maximum feed rate of 472 ipm and rapid traverse speeds up to 945 ipm. The system typically integrates servo-driven rotary or linear pallet changers to minimize idle time during workpiece exchange, supporting efficient unattended operation. Control is commonly via CNC systems such as FANUC or Siemens, ensuring versatile programmability and precision. The NHM 8000 is engineered for demanding manufacturing environments requiring high stability, power, and automation capabilities for large-scale metal cutting applications.
