The DN Solutions NHM 5000 is a heavy-duty CNC horizontal machining center specifically engineered for manufacturers requiring maximum rigidity, high metal removal rates, and exceptional machining accuracy when processing large and difficult-to-machine components. Unlike the NHP Series, which utilizes high-speed linear guideways, the NHM Series is built with robust box guideways that provide superior damping characteristics, making it ideal for aggressive roughing operations, interrupted cuts, and heavy-duty machining of steel, cast iron, stainless steel, titanium, and other high-strength alloys. The machine also features a servo-driven automatic pallet changer (APC), high-speed automatic tool changer (ATC), and advanced thermal compensation system to ensure long-term accuracy and productivity.
The NHM 5000 offers 31.5 inches (800 mm) of X-axis travel, 27.5 inches (700 mm) of Y-axis travel, and 33.5 inches (850 mm) of Z-axis travel, providing a large machining envelope for medium to large workpieces. The machine is equipped with a 20 × 20 inch (500 × 500 mm) twin-pallet system capable of supporting workpieces weighing up to 1,764 lbs (800 kg). A powerful 6,000 RPM ISO 50 spindle comes standard, with an optional 8,000 RPM spindle for increased versatility. The spindle delivers up to 50 HP (37 kW) and an impressive 1,034 Nm (762 ft-lb) of torque, with optional configurations producing up to 1,444 Nm (1,065 ft-lb) for extreme heavy-duty cutting applications. A 60-tool chain-type automatic tool changer is standard, with optional magazines expandable to 376 tools for highly automated manufacturing systems. The NHM 5000 is widely used in heavy equipment, automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, mining, energy, mold & die, and industrial machinery manufacturing where maximum cutting performance and long-term durability are essential.

DN SOLUTIONS NHM 5000 – AXIS TRAVELS / WORK ENVELOPE
Purchasing a used DN Solutions NHM 5000 gives manufacturers access to one of the industry’s most capable heavy-duty horizontal machining centers at a significantly lower investment than buying new. The machine’s rigid box guideway construction provides exceptional vibration damping, making it ideal for heavy roughing operations, interrupted cuts, and machining large steel and cast iron components. Compared to linear guideway machines, the NHM 5000 delivers superior cutting stability and outstanding long-term durability under demanding production conditions.
The automatic twin-pallet system enables continuous production by allowing operators to load and unload workpieces while machining continues on the second pallet. This significantly improves spindle utilization and reduces non-cutting time. Many used NHM 5000 machines are equipped with desirable factory options including high-pressure through-spindle coolant, Renishaw probing, expanded tool magazines, pallet pool automation, and automatic tool measurement systems, providing additional production flexibility without requiring major future investments.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED DN SOLUTIONS NHM 5000 COST?
The price of a used DN Solutions NHM 5000 depends on the year of manufacture, spindle hours, maintenance history, tooling packages, CNC control configuration, installed automation, and overall machine condition.
Most used DN Solutions NHM 5000 machines typically sell between $180,000 and $450,000, depending on machine condition, spindle configuration, installed factory options, and maintenance history. Machines equipped with 8,000 RPM spindles, expanded tool magazines, through-spindle coolant, pallet automation, and documented service records generally command higher resale values.
Before purchasing a used NHM 5000, buyers should inspect spindle condition, box guideway wear, pallet changer operation, B-axis indexing accuracy, lubrication systems, automatic tool changer performance, and overall machine geometry. Machines with verified maintenance records and calibration histories generally provide the greatest long-term value while minimizing unexpected repair costs.
