The new DNX 2100 range (DNX 2100SB and DNX 2100S) is positioned between DN Solutions’ popular and proven sub-spindle Y-axis Puma 2100SY turning centre series, and its already established SMX 2100S/ST series of mill-turn machines, and provides component manufacturers with more integrated machining capabilities than the former with a lower price point than the latter.
The 8” chuck DNX 2100 features two opposing (left and right) built-in 5,000rpm spindles, a B-axis milling head (12,000rpm), a 40-tool ATC (60-tool option) and the Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control.
The machine series, which will soon be made available in two different model variants – DNX 2100SB and DNX 2100S – enables component manufacturers to machine complex, high-precision parts in one set-up and, with its large ATC, is more productive and flexible than a sub-spindle, Y-axis lathe with driven tooling.
Tony Dale, Mills CNC’s CEO, said: "The DNX series is a welcome addition to DN Solutions’ extensive product portfolio that will go down well with UK and Irish component manufacturers.
“With its integrated tool-changer, customers will be able to bid for and win complex, high-mix/low-volume machining contracts that, up until now, owing to potential tooling/turret limitations of a sub-spindle Y-axis lathe, may not have been economically viable for them to consider in the past.
“The new ‘futuristic looking’ DNX series fills a gap in the market and provides component manufacturers with access to competitively-priced advanced, multi-tasking mill-turn technology.
DNX 2100 machines, with their integrated thermal compensation, linear scales (X-axis as standard), and new parts catcher design, will be stocked from UK supplier Mills CNC from next year (2025).
