DN Solutions features the DVF 5000 Second Generation, the latest member of its family of simultaneous five-axis vertical machining centers. The DVF 5000 Second Generation features a large table, increased work envelope, faster speeds and other enhanced features.
The DVF 5000 Second Generation facilitates the seamless machining of complex shapes and curved surfaces in a single setup. Its cooling system and standard thermal displacement compensation can ensure high-precision machining, even during prolonged operation. Its robust bed structure enables precise machining of workpieces weighing up to 400 kg (882 lbs.), empowering manufacturers to tackle diverse projects with ease.
The DVF 5000 Second Generation boasts significantly faster X-, Y- and Z-axis feed rates that double the speed of its predecessor, according to the company. Additionally, it showcases a 25% increase in B- and C-axis rotation speed, alongside a tool-to-tool (TTT) time of 1.3 seconds and a chip-to-chip (CTC) time of 3.8 seconds.
The DVF 5000 Second Generation presents expanded machining capabilities, providing greater flexibility with enlarged workpiece and clamping tool sizes. Featuring a table size of 630 × 450 mm (24.8" × 17.7") and accommodating a maximum workpiece size of 600 × 500 mm (23.6" x 19.7"), it boasts a 26% increase in table size and a 32% expansion in maximum machining area. This enhancement opens doors to a wide spectrum of applications, catering to the needs of manufacturing diverse parts, from intricate, high-precision medical components to small and medium-sized parts vital to the automotive, aerospace and semiconductor industries.
Additionally, the DVF 5000 Second Generation’s extended travel distances for the X, Y and Z axes — now at 650, 520 and 480 mm (25.6", 20.5" and 18.9") respectively — represent a 43% increase in the working envelope. This expanded space enables seamless integration of automation units for material loading and unloading, further enhancing operational efficiency and versatility.
The DVF 5000 Second Generation comes standard with a 20,000-rpm spindle, elevating its versatility and performance. Equipped with a high-rigidity, high-speed spindle and a robust columnar structured table, it delivers precise surface finishes and facilitates the machining of a wide array of materials, from high-speed aluminum to difficult-to-machine metals like titanium, Inconel and cobalt chromium. The DVF 5000 Second Generation also features select controls from FANUC and Siemens.
