Desirable compact machining

The compact DEM 4000 machine is the latest addition to Doosan’s popular range of vertical machining centres that includes the popular DNM and Mynx-series. According to Mills, quality, reliability and a cost-competitiveness are amongst the new DEM 4000’s key selling points.

Despite its relatively small footprint the DEM 4000 features 550mm x 400mm x 450mm (X-, Y- and Z-) axis travels with 24m/minute rapid rates on all three axes, a 650mm x 400mm table (with 400kg maximum table load) in addition to a 7.5kW/8,000rpm (BT 40) high-performance spindle that delivers fast and accurate cutting performance.

The machine’s rigid design and build also ensures high and consistent part accuracies, repeatability and good surface finishes.

The DEM 4000 is equipped with the Doosan Fanuc i control and can be supplied with a choice of automatic tool changer configurations (the armless ATC option has a 16-position capacity; the cam-type ATC option has a 20-position capacity).

Tony Dale, Mills CNC’s technical director comments: “Doosan machine tools have a reputation in the market for their accuracy, reliability and great value. The new DEM 4000 vertical machining centres tick all these boxes and more, and provides component manufacturers with a high-performance milling solution at an attractive price.”

The DEM machine is making its UK and Irish debut on Mills CNC’s stand (Z05) at the forthcoming Future Engineering Ireland Show in Dublin (29 - 30 January 2020).
