DN Solutions (formerly Doosan Machine Tools) presents its newest vertical machining centers (VMC), the SVM 5100L. It is said to be the larger version of the SVM 4100, and fits into the company’s lineup between the DEM and the DNM series.

Like the smaller 4100, the SVM 5100L’s performance has been optimized to provide shorter cycle times by reducing the acceleration/deceleration times of the XYZ axes and spindle, reducing non-cutting time. The 25 hp (18.5 kW) motor on the SVM 5100L turns the spindle at a speed of 12,000 rpm, which reportedly generates 70.5 ft-lbs (95.5 kW) of torque. The X-axis travel is 50" (1,270 mm), and Y- and Z-axis travel is 20.1" (510 mm). The maximum table capacity is 1,763.7 lbs (800 kg) and the rapid federate is 1,417 ipm (36 m/min).

The SVM 5100L standard features include 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 in the base price. It has AICC II and nano interpolation built in to enable a faster, more accurate profile and finish.

Andy McNamara, vice president of sales and marketing at DN Solutions America, says, “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. With its addition to the lineup, customers can now choose between different sizes of SVM models.”
