VMC Provides Shorter Cycle Times, Minimizes Non-Cutting Time

DN Solutions’ SVM 500L is joining the company’s family of vertical machining centers. The SVM 5100L is the “big brother” of the SVM 4100 and fits into the company’s lineup between the DEM and the DNM series.

“The SVM 5100L is another example of DN Solutions filling every niche our customers work in,” says Andy McNamara, vice president of sales and marketing at DN Solutions America. “As more die-cast components are used in higher production environments, the demand is growing for high-speed, light cutting applications. The SVM 5100L incorporates a traditional C-frame design structure that is optimized to meet those needs.”

Like the smaller SVM 4100, DN Solutions says the SVM 5100L is optimized to provide shorter cycle times by reducing the acceleration and deceleration times of the XYZ axes and spindle. This feature aims to minimize non-cutting time. The 25 hp (18.5 kW) motor on the SVM 5100L turns the spindle at a speed of 12,000 r/min, which generates 70.5 foot-pounds (95.5 kW) of torque. The X-axis travel is 50 inches (1,270 mm), and Y- and Z-axis travel is 20.1 inches (510 mm). The maximum table capacity is 1,763.7 pounds (800 kg) and the rapid federate is 1,417 ipm (36 m/min).

DN Solutions says the SVM 5100L has standard features that other machine tool manufacturers often charge extra for, including a CAT 40 BIG-PLUS spindle system, through spindle coolant and a double-arm ATC with 30 tools.

A FANUC 0i-Plus control with iHMi touchscreen interface is also included. It has AICC II and nano interpolation built in to enable a faster, more accurate profile and finish.
