1997 DYNA MECHTRONICS DM2800 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1997 Dyna Mechtronics DM2800 is a 3-axis compact vertical machining center designed for small-part precision machining and prototyping in a space-efficient benchtop or pedestal-mount footprint. The machine provides 19.68 inches of X-axis travel, 11.81 inches in Y, and 11.81 inches in Z, suited to small aluminum, brass, steel, and plastic components common in electronics, medical device, and instrument manufacturing. The BT 30 spindle delivers 7.5 HP continuous (10 HP at 30-minute rating) with a two-range speed capability reaching 8,000 RPM maximum, providing adequate cutting performance for light to medium-duty milling and drilling. A 14-tool automatic tool changer enables multi-operation programs without manual intervention. The machine runs on a Dyna Mechtronics proprietary PC-based CNC control capable of standard G-code programming, and operates on 220V single-phase power, simplifying installation in facilities without three-phase service. The DM2800 was produced by Dyna Mechtronics, a Taiwanese builder known for compact VMC designs targeting educational, prototyping, and light production markets in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The machine is valued for its compact footprint and low electrical requirements. Total machine weight including stand is approximately 1,150 lbs, making it readily relocatable within a shop floor or laboratory environment.
